I reviewed Amazon Prime's DEAD RINGERS for Rue-Morgue.com! | DEAD RINGERS (2023) on the cover of Rue Morgue #212

Streaming on Prime Video as of April 21st is the gender-swapped miniseries reimagining of David Cronenberg's twin horror classic Dead Ringers (1988). 


Rue Morgue
 issue #212 features an interview with DEAD RINGERS series creator Alice Birch and star Rachel Weisz. 


In celebration of that cover story, please check out my review of the series on Rue-Morgue.com

It was a stroke of genius by the team behind DEAD RINGERS to task the one and only Rachel Weisz with bringing the Mantles back to life. Her portrayal of the twins is at once wholly original, yet recognizable and familiar to fans of the film. DEAD RINGERS’ other stroke of genius was conceiving of the horrific opportunity presented by twin sisters with the medical skills and knowledge to impregnate each other. The premise of DEAD RINGERS is simple – Beverly wants to have a baby, just not with Elliot. What lengths will her sister go through to ensure that Beverly never leaves her side?
