I really have no choice but than to give this freak-show a 10. This makes Ed wood and his Plan 9 look like Orson Welles and Citizen Kane! From start to finish is like being on a continuous acid trip...Mrs Pringle and the statue of Napoleon the Leopard to the dancing Kentucky fried chicken eating coeds to Terrance and his girlfriend eating potato chips, mauling fruit and drinking Michelob beer. Rodney the mentally ill murdering son which bids the evil doing scalping, delivers a tour DE force performance which Anthony Hopkins could learn a thing or two from. Sit back , smoke a blunt or better yet magic mushrooms and prepare yourself for a riot!!!!
WOW! This is absolutely the weirdest movie ever made...and a fun time to watch! The Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis made this movie very quickly to be used as a double bill with the abysmal "Something Weird" which at the time was not doing well on it's own at the theaters. This was his first "gore" film after making the infamous "Blood Trilogy" with producer David Freidman. Even though this film was a "rushed" work, it still holds it's own with some of the most outrageous scenes ever filmed including the opening segment (a conversation between 2 mannequin heads complete with construction paper faces that seems to last an eternity)a strange "film within a film" segment at a drive-in movie theater and a beach scene that boasts what is probably the worst performance by a band ever recorded on film! No Herschell Gordon Lewis classic would be complete without the gore and this film is LOADED with it...you'll see girls being scalped, decapitations, livers torn from abdomens and eyes gouged out. The trailer for this film brags that it is "The wildest motion picture ever made" that is the understatement of the twentieth century!
H.G. Lewis like to stage bloody set pieces. However in order to show them off he likes to make a feature length film. Many of them aren't very good and they're padded out to make the 70 minute mark. The gruesome Twosome is one of those films. The film revolves around a crazy old lady who makes nice realistic looking wigs and her ogreish son. She has a secret in her wig making that you'll find hair raising. They're many filler scenes placed through out the movie. The most notorious one (and clever) takes place in the beginning where two wigs are holding a conversation. The gore set pieces are cool but you'll have to sit through the movie to experience them.Recommended for campy cult fans.B
If this film seems padded and too long at 72 minutes that's because it is. Because of an incompetent production assistant director Lewis had to pad the film out with bizarre scenes like the opening dialog between two wig-wearing styrofoam heads and a hilarious drive-in movie the main characters watch that consists of people drinking beer and eating/squashing fruit, not to mention the drawn-out scene of girls dancing while munching on Kentucky Fried Chicken. This film is a treasure to behold for 60s exploitation film buffs as the black humor and gore flows freely and the 60s fashions are as garish as can be.
