Seconds Apart (2011)

Pretty good movie,also as stated in the other review its nice to See an actual set of twins playing the roles rather than 1 person playing both parts but I'm not sure they could have used one person I'm sure they would have tried as a lot of films do succeed in this but you can always tell. For the few ladies in the film i noticed they were not cameos of big big stars witch is nice because your not expecting certain facial expressions that one would know and familiarize with stars they already know. keeps you thinking who might be the one making things happen or even if it is one of the main characters,very well done and acting is great i would definitely recommend this movie in a conversation seeing that is it a memorable plot and I'm sure a lot of other movie goers would stay tuned into what they were watching!

Fmovies: Seconds Apart...

I'm not sure how to explain WHY I liked this movie except that, I did. The only advice I can give someone who is about to rent this movie is... If you want something that will scare you, thrill you, and mess with your head... Rent this movie.

Looking over the reviews I see that a lot of people rate this movie highly while others rate it poorly. In my opinion, I can only imagine the poor votes are from people who were expecting your more typical, everyday scary film. This story, and it's direction, are nothing like your typical scary flick, not at all. I liked that because I want something different, and that is what I got.

On another note... I also have to commend the actors. I never found myself doubting someone and I was very impressed with the twins. acting especially.

Did I get scared... Yes. I even had trouble sleeping afterwards. I rate this highly because I got what I wanted, this movie delivered. I rated it a 9 because I was surprised.... something I rarely find in horror films these days.

I felt it I know that the "After Dark Horrorfest" often do really bad horror films that are just clichéd with very little interesting characters or action. The only exception being the mesmerising "Frontier(s)". Obviously "Seconds Apart" is no where near the standard of "Frontier(s)" but it is a very interesting, watchable and enjoyable film! I would very happily watch "Seconds Apart" again, just for it's pure bravery to go beyond the conventional slasher or ghost story and create quite a complex blend of narrative and characters.

Just imagine Jedward but even more terrifying. Even though I am convinced that this is probably what Jedward get up to and I'm pretty sure that if john or Edward got a girlfriend they would end up killing each other. But anyway, getting away from the point! The twins are really interesting characters to have to front the film. They are the protagonists but pure evil. They're performances are really chilling and they are well-written characters which is nice to see. Geroge Richards (the writer) manages to make them completely unlikable and likable at the same time. they're fascinating! Unfortunately the burnt black cop isn't quite so interesting as the boys and his story, although complex and well thought out is unnecessary and quite annoying.

"Seconds Apart" is directed like a music video. It's got almost too much style with lots of cuts and fades to black and jump cuts that can be quite off-putting but also quite nice to see. I know I'm not making any sense but I did quite like the mad-cap editing in some places. It was obviously well thought-out and broke away from the boring static conventions which we find in every single horror film! The cinematography was really excellent though and the set-pieces such as the twins creepy old house were really well done.

Although the story was OK I couldn't help but feel it could've gone better. I think I would've preferred to have seen more drama and sibling rivalry when Jonah or Seth (can't tell 'em apart!) got a girlfriend because I found that prospect really interesting. However instead they decided to focus much more on the detective getting closer to them which was exciting but not as interesting. I think the fight seen at the end of the film could've been better also.

The score and music in general was really well done here, it's got a creepy edge to it and is memorable. Overall (especially me actually being a twin) it was quite a creepy and fascinating insight. With stylish direction, thoughtful writing and glorious characters! With some tweaks this could've been a really great film, but is instead just a really good film. But oh well, it was fun and although there could've been a little more gore the deaths were disturbing and creative anyways. I'm giving it a very solid 7 out of 10 which is definitely leaning more towards the 8 side. Definitely worth a watch.

Seconds Apart fmovies. The "after dark originals" is a great idea. 8 horror films from lesser known directors. Seconds Apart is the best I've seen from this series. A sinister tale of male twins that really packs a punch. Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers" was the last film I saw about twins that was quite disturbing & this film is a great little view also. The acting from the two brothers is first class & the way that it's shot shows a great deal of maturity. Horror films are so popular these days but they seem to go straight for the gore sequences (ala "Saw" franchise). Seconds Apart has some great disturbing moments & a good amount of gore to keep the horror fans happy, but it's the way that it's told, cut & delivered that is really impressive. If you want a great sinister, thought provoking movie then this is the best of the series by far. Excellent!

Very much enjoyed this film. Interesting premise and story, just the right amount of "creepiness", gore, and psychological thrill. I cannot think of any similar films and for this reason feel it is certainly quite unique, unlike any other, and deserves to be watched by anyone who enjoys mind-bending horror. Visually spectacular, well-written, great acting and, although there were a few instances that I thought were predictable, I was wrong 95% of the time. The film keeps you thinking, guessing, and those are the best types of Horror/Thrillers in my opinion. Definitely feel this film should have a higher rating and I'm not sure why I had not heard of it before finding it on IMDb. Of course, with ANY movie, everyone will form their own opinions/conclusions and what some viewers may love, others may hate. This is why it really needs to be watched so one can form their own opinion and review.

Would like to see more similar films such as this one! Seconds Apart, as mentioned, is in a class of its own!

I'm really starting to enjoy this new resurgence of Chiller/Thriller/Horror films. And, Seconds Apart is one that I can thank for helping. Orlando Jones shows he's more than just a comedic actor, or the wide eyed supporting character, by adding depth and range to his resume of acting skills. But, most of all, I'm happy to see a movie that didn't cast one person in "twins" roles, with a ton of over the shoulder shots. The Entin twins were superb in this movie, and played their parts to a fine point. Without repeating what the synopsis is, and without dropping spoilers, I will say that this is a must-see film for the horror/thriller buff.
