10 Best Sibling Rivalries In Horror Movie History

Some may seek to deny David Cronenberg's psychological thriller its place on this list due to a lack of gore and jump scares, but that hasn't stopped its leading men from going down in history as bona fide horror icons.

Gynecologist twins Beverly (Jeremy Irons) and Elliot (Jeremy Irons) generally have a cordial relationship (compared to some, at least), but it's not without its tension.

Naturally, it all boils down to the pair of them fighting over a woman. When the shy, meek Beverly falls for a patient (Genevieve Bujold), he begins to rail against his more confident, commanding brother. While this slow, icy thriller never was going to descend into an out-and-out gorefest, Beverly's descent into madness ranks as one of the genre's best onscreen unravellings to date (whatever genre one decides to place it in).

But it's the chilly relationship between Beverly and Elliot which Dead Ringers is best remembered for; symbiotic, antagonistic and truly unsettling.
