Jeremy Irons plays Dr. Beverly Mantle in “Dead Ringers.”
‘Ringers’ gets a gong for tastelessness
By Michael Deeds
Suff Reporter
m
“Dead Ringers” is now being ad
vertised as a “thriller” by producer
and director David Cronenberg, our
good friend who grossed us out with
his remake of “The Fly."
In this poor excuse for a flick,
Jeremy Lyons stars as two twins who
are completely batty. The first twin is

Beverly Mantle, the introverted
scholar whq works hard and is shy
with women. Then there’s Elliot
Mantle, the confident stud who man
ages the brothers’ careers.
The boys are gynecologists. Well
known in the world of medicine, they
are called simply “the Mantle twins.”
The twins do have separate personali
ties, but they are very close. They live
together in an apartment. They take
turns sleeping with the same women.
However, things backfire when
Claire Niveau, an actress who has
been lured into the twins’ love trap,
figures out that she's romping with
two different guys.
Niveau falls for Beverly, and tries
to take him away from Elliot, because
she sees the strange closeness that the
twins have. She also gets him hooked
on pills.
Elliot becomes worried when Bcv
gets messed up all the time, because
Bcv does some weird things.
Beverly is losing it and decides he
has to have some special gynecologi
cal instruments designed for “mutant
women.’’ Oh boy. TTiey arc not very
pleasant instruments to look at, let
alone think about using.
The movie gets fairly disgusting
by this point, and even girls in the
back row started groaning. Oh boy.
Well, the medical world has found
out that Bcv has a problem with drugs
by now, and has pretty much given
him the bool. Elliot tries to salvage
their careers, but to no avail. So, he
starts taking pills, too.
The twins become synchronized.
They are now pill-popping, stagger
ing gynecologist buddies from the
Satanic underworld. Bev decides it’s
time for them to separate and gels
radical with his mutant instruments.
By this lime, several people have
left the theater, and a few in the front
are throwing popcorn. To tell the
truth, this is a lot more interesting than
the movie.
The movie is gross, but not graphi
cally gross. It just deals with subject
matter that is fine when looked at
medically, but becomes tasteless
when twisted into a maniacal pretzel.
Jeremy Lyons is fairly disturbing,
so he gets a little credit. But the plot is
completely irrational, it's hard to
distinguish the twins, and apparently
it takes someone with a little more
intelligence than the average horror
film fan to understand.
David Cronenberg has really
blown it this time. Admittedly, this
movie is different from his normal
directing style, so he deserves a little
understanding. But this show plain
slinks.
Maybe he could combine ideas
and have a couple of fly twins that
deliver babies for a living. Or sell
condoms. Who knows?
