Twins of Evil benefits considerably from seasoned performances by a veteran cast that includes genre icon Peter Cushing, Dennis Price, and Kathleen Byron.
FULL REVIEW

Twins Of Evil, like the best of Hammer, is about entering a world of castles, creatures, and torch-wielding mobs, all a little darker and more colorful than expected.
By Noel Murray FULL REVIEW

It's bawdy, sexy, gory, schlocky, and rollicks along at a cracking pace. [28 Feb 2014]
FULL REVIEW

Twins loses its center and therefore the nightmarish force of the earlier film. [10 Aug 1972, p.57]
FULL REVIEW
50
Director John Hough, who made his mark in several episodes of the popular television series The Avengers, keeps things moving at a brisk pace and stages the scenes of horror with considerable panache.
FULL REVIEW
50
Some moments of Gothic atmosphere though, don't quite dispel the feeling that much of the plot is devoted to developing situations where its leading ladies might be disrobed for the camera.
FULL REVIEW
50
The rest of the costumed crew, led by that veteran horror hand, Peter Cushing, as the twins' witchhunting uncle, who chases the fanged Count and his retinue, hardly give Twins of Evil a good name.
