This.seems to be a hangover from the swinging sixties.
Alan Gibson may have been born in Canada, but he's more known for his British horror films, which include Dracula A.D.
The film starts off well. We are on a bus.
Also titled in some markets as "Twinsanity", this was an interesting 1970's British horror/thriller. This movie, with its drag queens, gay rape and incest themes, was probably much more of a disturbing freak show in the eyes of a conservative older British audience in 1970 than it is to a modern American viewer.
Sweet, naive Jacki (a perky and appealing portrayal by the adorable Judy Geeson) and moody, petulant Julian (a solid and effective performance by Martin Potter) are a couple of rich, spoiled, and sheltered fraternal twins who live in their own odd fantasy world and have an extremely close and uneasy symbiotic relationship. Their fragile personal universe gets ripped asunder with dire consequences for everyone when sneaky and ingratiating small-time criminal Clive Landseer (excellently played with devilish charm to spare by Alexis Kanner) attempts to blackmail Julian.
I really didn't know what to expect when I got to watching this. After the end, I walked away with a sense of watching twins who were not far outta their element.
Twins arrive in London on an overnight bus wearing matching fluorescent jackets and clutching a teddy-bear (always a sign of evil). They've not even unpacked their bags before they murder their new landlady and get invited to an inevitably swinging' party.
Infantile psychotic twins Jacki and Julian (Judy Geeson and Martin Potter) arrive in London, immediately arranging an accident for their grouchy landlady so that they can have the run of the place. The siblings then set about experiencing the swinging London party scene, where they meet louche rogue Clive (Alexis Kanner, sporting some impressive mutton-chops).
The freak twins, Judy Geeson (Jacki) and Martin Potter (Julian) come to London to stay in a house in Chelsea and they immediately hit the party scene thanks to a meeting with Alexis Kanner (Clive) in a pub. Kanner is strange – he's a nasty conman who uses people but he's not as strange as the twins.
