everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

After Dark Originals are known for being extreme horror films for the true horror aficionado. Most of these films have been as advertised, but no one has a hundred percent success rate. Seconds Apart follows Seth and Jonah, two nerdy twins, with extreme twin powers, mainly telepathy. They have fun pulling pranks and using it against the people they perceive to have wronged them, leaving them in a world all their own, but that all changes when a girl gets in the middle of things. The inherit problem with this film, is that these twins aren't creepy at all. Casting decided to go with looks over horror and these two look like they should be on magazines, like they would never have problems with bullies or girls, and as for psychotic killers with superpowers go, these two are so mild-mannered, that it made the story completely unbelievable. When you add to that the fact that Orlando Jones is the investigating detective at this upscale religious school, cracking jokes that no one gets, the film itself becomes the horror show. The story itself wasn't terrible, but the problem here is one we see all too often, the casting. These twins may be good for the Disney channel, but they aren't cut out to be psychopaths. I just found the whole film to be full of cliché's and very poorly done.

Seconds Apart – TRASH IT (C+) Seconds Apart is one of those horror movies which either not very bad nor very good. This is strictly in-between. The movie starts off strong but stumbles towards the end. Everything was so predictable no shock value in the end. The Twins Edmund and Gary Entin are creepy looking dudes. They defiantly bring the scare factor in the movie. Other cast is pretty much mediocre especially the black police officer. On the whole, there is nothing like we have not seen before. A good attempt but good have been better. I won't recommend to anyone so simply Trash It!

Mental domination is an interesting concept but naturally, villains with such abilities need some restriction so the heroes aren't doomed. This time, two twins are required to be together to use their powers.However they also have other telepathetic powers making them a bigger threat, leaving victims vulnerable to their worst fears.A cop starts investigating - thankfully he's pretty sharp and intuits whats going on.The premise is intriguing however towards as the finale draws near, the story branches out surprisingly late and then the introduction of a sudden twist further drags the overall quality of the film down.

'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
