Resumen
‘Twins of Evil’ (1971) is a British horror film directed by John Hough, blending elements of vampire lore with historical witch hunts. The movie explores themes of religious zealotry and its consequences through the lens of a puritanical group led by Gustav Weil, who condemns innocent women suspected of witchcraft.

The film serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind prejudice and fanaticism.
