“Dead Ringers”: Twin Gynos Still Creepy 20 Years Later

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of “Dead Ringers”—the mega-awesomely creepy David Cronenberg movie which made us vow never to date identical twin gynecologists after we rented it on VHS one rainy day at Blockbuster.  Starring a dashingly young Jeremy Irons as brothers Eliot and Beverly Mantle—who look so identical that they routinely swap girlfriends without telling them that they’re, um, two people—“Dead Ringers” is chock full of hot love and heavy psycho-drama.  We’ve always loved the opening scene, which offers the handy-dandy lesson on human reproduction in the clip above.
