Our take

Imbued with uncanny feelings about twins and doppelgängers, Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s haunting vision—their narrative feature debut—is one of the best horror films of the 2010s. This unnerving domestic psychological fairy tale from Austria was recently remade in the US with Naomi Watts.
