Product: Doppelganger: The Evil Within [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Not for budget snobs
Yes, it has a low budget. Yes, there are some loose spots in the plot. So do "Evil Dead" and "Suspiria" and any number of classic horror movies. Since when does having a low budget and cheesy effects mean that a movie is bad. In defense of the effects at the end, this was made back in 1993 and was made on a relatively low budget. All things considered, it's not that bad. As for the story, the whole "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with monsters and crazy people was one of the things I liked best about the movie. The overall effect is a little uneven, but I like a little lopsidedness in a horror film. It's those raw, uneven edges that attracted me to the genre in the first place. So, is this a perfect movie? No. But that's part of the appeal.
