Coming back to Hong Kong from Canada, Po-erh has to realize that not
evverything is alright at her parents home: Her mom reacts deeply
disturbed, even fearful, towards her, she suffers from terrible
headaches, and on several occasions she sees the spirit of a young girl.
It soon turns out that the spirit is Bei-erh, the Siamese twin Po-erh
was seperated from when she was little & who died after surgery,
& who has now turned into a vengeful entity - But the only persons
who know about the operation are Po-erh's parents & doctor Cheung,
& they are reluctant to tell her. The only person really on her side
is handsome doctor Poon, who soon finds out her medical history, which
he informs her about, but refuses to believe in Bei-erh's spirit haviong
come back to haunt Po-erh. Meanwhile, Po-erh's mother gets in a fight
with her father & doctor Cheung during which she is hurt, &
Bei-erh - only feeling loved by her mother anyways - decides to have
them being involved in a car crash, in which both the father &
Cheung die. Next Bei-erh possesses Michael, who is in love with Po-erh,
by taking on Po-erh's appearance & having sex with him, & soon he goes after Po-erh, to be killed in
the nick of time by Wendy, the girl who he was caught having sex
with by Po-erh. Wendy & Po-erh decide to go to doctor Poon for help,
but he already had a visit by Bei-erh, who - in the form of Po-erh - had sex with him too &
now possesses him. He also goes after Po-erh, but only manages to kill
Wendy, & when being sprayed by her blood, returning to normal. Now
he & Po-erh decide to leave Hong Kong with her mother, who even
agrees to that plan but secretly has other plans : She wants to kill
herself & Bei-erh in a gas explosion, & it seems to work ...At the airport, Poon anxiously awaits Po-erh,
who comes literally in the last minute ... but twice. Out of
desparation, Poon kills the Po-erh he thinks is indeed Bei-erh in
public, only to find out it was the real Po-erh after all ... This
very downbeat ending is - though not all that logical - the best scene
of this horror film that comes across very slick, but totally devoid of
suspense or mystery - when it is finally revealed that Po-erh is in fact
one half of Siamese twins, in fact everything was already pointing to it
for about half an hour: Not only is the film called Siamese Twins,
it also has a lengthy prologue explaining facts about siamese twins as
well as their mortality & chances for their separation, having the
audience guess right from the beginning who of the protagonists might be
one half of a Siamese twin-couple ... & Po-erh really is the only
possible candidate. |
