Does anyone know if the scene where the actress who plays both twin sisters is the first of its kind?
They are both on scene together at the same time, I assume spliced together. Is this the first time this had been done on film? This is a technical achievement because it is hardly noticeable and a viewer cannot see the edits.

OK, apparently, you have to either love these types of movies or hate them...Judging by the other reviews, that is what happens. Some really like these monster movies and others wonder why they bothered.
What I want to know is: Do these movies make MONEY?
Average commercial price during these is about $10k. I guess if they run the entire movie half a dozen times, then they make back the budget. But do a lot of people watch them? So advertisers are either getting a really good deal or wasting their money. I can't imagine the DVD doing well, only from rental places that might carry it...
I am just really curious if these movies make their money back, and why some other movie projects don't get green lights.

Unit 5 film discussion Matt Butcher The Murderers Are Among Us is a film made immediately after World War II in East Germany. The melancholy of the film is derived from its main characters, a female concentration camp survivor who returns to her old apartment to find it occupied by an ex-military doctor. This military doctor drives the main conflict of the film in that his conscience is slowly eating away at him for his apparent actions during the war.
In this regard, the film acts as a conscience for the people of East Germany, slowly asking themselves about their past and how they are going to live with it. It was a tumultuous period of reconciliation that the Germans were trying to live through. This movie tries to act on those feelings.
Silberman notes that another film of this time, Rotation, "constructs a narration based on identification and emotional catharsis rather than on the cognitive terms of epic distanciation." The Murderers Are Among Us also tries to wipe the slate clean. It comes out and admits that what happened was wrong, hence the horrible feelings that the doctor is going through. They cannot completely distance themselves from these previous events, these earth-shattering events, unless they work through these feelings.
