10 Horror Movies That Flopped Hard In 2022

10. The Twin

Following a horrible tragedy that took one of their twins' lives, Rachel and Anthony move to a different part of the globe with their surviving kid.

When Rachel starts to uncover the agonizing truth about her son and faces the evil forces that are attempting to possess him, what starts out as a healing period in the peaceful Scandinavian countryside quickly takes a sinister turn.

The film, directed by Taneli Mustonen, tries to draw on by now familiar motifs of Nordic myths, but it is plagued by a very thin story, surface-level characterization, and the inability to escape the cliches it’s trying to parody at times.

Although the location and Daniel Lindholm's cinematography at least effectively depict the natural beauty of the Finnish countryside, they are insufficient to successfully convey the intended mood. The characters are completely undermined by Mustonen's attempts to transcend well-worn tropes, which are overly dependent on a conclusion that doesn't feel truly deserved.

People who came expecting another Midsommar were deeply disappointed, and that is reflected in the Rotten Tomatoes score, where The Twin has a measly 35% audience score. It’s only slightly better received by critics, who gave it a 41% rating.
