Set in 17th century Styria, "Twins of Evil" explores the chilling tale of Maria and Frieda Gelhorn, identical twins with contrasting dispositions, who become ensnared in a horrific blend of witchcraft and vampirism. After the death of their parents, the sisters move to live with their strict Puritan uncle, Gustav Weil, who leads a fanatical witch-hunting group. While Maria abides by her uncle's rigid moral code, Frieda is drawn to the enigmatic Count Karnstein, a man rumored to engage in dark and forbidden practices. As sinister forces awaken and familial bonds are tested, the village's grim atmosphere thickens, setting the stage for a confrontation between human and supernatural evils. This film is a dark gothic tale that captures the struggle between purity and corruption, innocence and malevolence.
