Scary twins appear in many horror movies, but it’s only the best horror movies with twins in that manage to make identical siblings unforgettably terrifying. Society has always had a fascination with twins, and they’ve been integral to the plots of many comedies, dramas, and twist-filled action movies over the years. However, it’s creepy twins in horror movies that are often the most memorable for audiences - whether they’re identical or not.

Horror movies with twins use a variety of different types of siblings who shared a womb. Some use identical twins, some conjoined. Others have mixed-gender twins, and some even focus on the spirits and ghosts of a twin that didn’t survive. The best horror movies with twins also include some incredible directors including the like of James Wan, David Cronenberg, George A. Romero, and Stanley Kubrick, ensuring the niche subgenre contains plenty of highly-regarded horror movies.

In this day and age of cookie cutter remakes and PG-13 so-called horror films, it’s somewhat refreshing when an artful, original, and engaging film like Let Her Out comes along to restore hope that not all is lost. Even though it has some problems, namely some rather stiff dialogue and an underwhelming supporting cast, it’s still – along with The Sublet - the best and most fully realized film that Black Fawn Films (Bite, Bed Of The Dead) and director Cody Calahan (the Antisocial films) have produced.

As far as psychological body horror films go, Cody Calahan’s Let Her Out plays all the expected Cronenbergian beats while exuding a neon hue. Nothing more, nothing less. Canada’s Black Fawn team once again work their indie charms through low-budget tightrope walking, and bring supernatural unrest without some Toronto-sized price tag.

This is a cool, calm and collected attack on sibling rivalries, compact and delusional enough to cruise through a psyche-bending battle of inner-wits. Blackouts skip time while a woman learns about the sister she never knew, until Calahan unleashes a skin-crawling finale that makes up for otherwise mundane plot navigating. Creeps, crawls and all the grossness in between soon rise – it’s enough to keep genre fans engaged on character corruption alone.

Leave it to a movie to introduce you to a concept you'd never heard of. In this case, the idea of "vanishing twin" which is the layman's term for what happens when one twin dies in utero and is then partially or completely absorbed by the other baby. This idea is at the centre of Cody Calahan's new horror movie Let Her Out.

Relative newcomer Alanna LeVierge stars as Helen, a bike courier who has a fairly serious accident. As she recovers, she begins to experience semi-regular blackouts which are believed to be the result of a malignant tumor which doctors believe to be the remnants of her vanishing twin. As you may have now guessed, the vanished twin is evil, is taking over during Helen's blackout moments and slowly trying to bury the "real" Helen.
