It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Normally evil twin premise seem clichéd and predictable but at the very beginning; Seconds Apart comes with an interesting opening scene. There is no build up, we are thrust into this crazy story as we witness some boys become the subjects of the twins' interesting "project". It does not let down from here on in as the deaths become stranger and the storyline becomes more warped. This film would have fallen apart if the two twin leads did not have the right look or the talent to back it up; fortunately both the brothers were impressive. They mirror each other exactly, making the scenes where they terrorize classmates all more chilling. When weaknesses start occurring in one's personality it's really nice to see how they play off each other and as their relationship change. Though Orlando Jones is barely recognizable in his role as Detective but he wasn't terrible either. The problem mainly lies in his character like with the feeling of guilt and responsibility after his wife's death and this case seems to be a personal mission for redemption…now that's pretty clichéd. What is great about this film is that nothing really goes in a usual way; it has all the makings of a generic thriller, but the story did kept me watching to see how it is resolved at the end. The story line with the detective is fairly predictable and it resolves itself the way you would imagine, but the end sequence was well orchestrated as the things were heating up well before they climax to a blistering end.

Strange and freaky teenage twins Jonah (Edmund Entin) and Seth (Gary Entin) are seen leaving a party that four jock football players suddenly play Russian roulette and kill themselves. Detective Lampkin (Jones) steps in to investigate by interviewing all the friends at the prestigious catholic school they go to. The twins stand out but Jones can't seem to pin anything on them. The boys have been manipulated by an experimental drug since childhood which has left them with the gift of telekinesis and telepathy. The deadly duo kills anyone in their way in some freaky ways. A new girl (Droke) takes a shine to Jonah and when Seth fools her into thinking he's Jonah and sleeps with her, Jonah brakes off their pact. Director Antonio Negret handles things in a very fresh way which makes this better than it should be. The twins are a bit menacing if not entirely scary and the detective has layers to his character which make him very interesting. The twins' ability to alter reality for everyone else gives them the chance to do their evil deeds. It also provides some story twists towards the end dealing with their parents. George Richards screenplay is decent and Negret does some flashy things with it. There is some gore thrown in and nothing gets too unbelievable which allows this to be a nice surprise.

For a movie in the 'After Dark' series, then "Seconds Apart" was somewhat of a disappointment. Why? Well because this movie was predictable, boring and very uneventful, and far, far from being even the least bit scary.One thing that the movie did have working for it, was the camera work and the cinematography. That was actually off the charts. The movie was really nice to look at, almost bordering on being worth of being called art. And that is what made me suffer through the entire movie, just watching the great camera angles, the contrasts of colors used, the way the scenes were set up, and the details in the scenes.The acting in the movie wasn't bad either, although I wouldn't say that there wasn't anything memorable being put on either. Orlando Jones (playing detective Lampkin) actually did most of the carrying in regards of who pulled the most weight in the acting. Edmund Entin (playing Jonah) and Gary Entin (playing Seth) did also do alright jobs, making their characters come off as disturbing and twisted.I had expected more from this movie, as it is part of the 'After Dark' series, so I was somewhat disappointed with the predictability of the movie. The movie had a great thing with building up suspense and leaving you to wonder, but it eventually was toppled by the predictability of the movie. And once the director decided it was time to reveal the reality of what was going on in the movie, it just totally fell clattering to the floor, the movie took a turn for the worse there. That ending was, in my opinion, not the best of choices."Seconds Apart" might be interesting for you, if you like pseudo-horror/thrillers that doesn't require too much thinking. Just don't expect too much, you might just set yourself up for disappointment.Despite the great camera work, it just wasn't enough to sustain the movie and keep it afloat. This was a disappointing experience for me.

'SECONDS APART': Three Stars (Out of Five) This entry in this year's (2011) 'After Dark Originals' is about mysterious twins with deadly telepathic and telekinetic abilities. It was directed by Antonio Negret and written by George Richards and it stars Orlando Jones (in a surprisingly serious role). It also stars Gary and Edmund Entin as the twins and Samantha Droke as one twin's hot love interest. The acting is all decent and so are the overall production values. This horror film is also surprisingly unique and somewhat unpredictable. It's a surprisingly well made entry in this year's 'After Dark' horror series!It tells the story of Seth and Jonah (the Entin brothers), two dark and creepy twin brothers attending a Catholic high school. When their classmates begin dying mysterious deaths, that appear to be suicide, the lead detective investigating the case, Detective Lampkin (Jones), begins to suspect the twins are somehow involved. The twins have a special bond, that only they know is the power of telepathy, and are doing a project that involves making a movie. Lampkin knows that there's something off about them and he knows they were close to a number of the victims before they died, sometimes with a camera (although a recording can't be found). As he questions them things become tense and Lampkin is also haunted by memories of the death of his wife in a tragic fire. Things also become emotional for the twins when jealousy begins to tear them apart as a lovely young lady (Droke) enters one of their lives.The film is very dark and twisted and has just the right amount of gore and thrills to please most horror fans. The Entin brothers are great in the leads as the twins and make a very frightening duo. Droke is great eye candy and Jones is interesting as the movie's protagonist. I never really knew where the movie was going and found it pretty engaging right up to the end. The lead characters are the twins though and they're a little too dark and sinister to really care about them, so the movie lacks any true sympathy or heart. It's a great dark horror film though that's plenty disturbing and manages to offer a somewhat different story than the usual. It's definitely one of the better 'After Dark Originals'.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-KU7aWFnDI
