[edit] Plot

Set in rural New England in the 1930s, twin boys are born. Niles is undeniably good, but Holland seems to have something of an evil streak. Despite their different dispositions, Holland and Niles are very close.

As in the tradition of Hitchcock, though certainly a horror film, there is little blood or gore.

[edit] Trivia

Though not featured, John Ritter makes one of his earliest appearances in this film.
This is the only movie appearance by the twins Chris and Martin Udvarnoky, the featured stars.
