(movie) The Twin (2022) is an atmospheric psychological horror tale set in Finland!

After the loss of their son Nathan, married couple move to Finland with their survived son, Elliot, who is Nathan´s twin brother. There in the north of Finland, couple seeks to find solace and deal with grief and loss. But, sinister forces are at work. Elliot starts to behave weird, claiming that he is Nathan and Anthony, the husband becomes estranged and somehow stops taking notes of Rachel´s search for truth. The townsfolk are weird and just stand in front of the house and watch. Is there a way to bring Nathan back, sell your soul or sacrifice everything?

Well, this one was your average folk psychological horror tale like so many others. Meaning, desolate place, cultists, ancient beliefs, pagan lore, family which tries to cope with loss and grief. But, the twist in the end of the movie somehow saves it to be a bit above average and saves the movie in making it a decent one. Teresa Palmer(Warm Bodies, Lights Out) is good, Steven Cree(Outlaw King, Maleficent) somehow does not manage to have chemistry with Palmer´s character Rachel. Directed by Taneli Mustonen(Lake Bodom).
