This ghost story teaches us the lesson that people who look frightening are not always the ones we should be afraid of.

Twins Holly and Heather were murdered 20 years before the events of the film, and as far as the town urban legend is aware, their father was the killer, and is now on death row. The film sets the girls up as being out for vengeance on the town, with their terrifying rotting zombie-like appearance further enhancing this idea.

Protagonist Jordan encounters the girls after going to live with her aunt and uncle in Silver Falls. They haunt her and appear hostile, attacking her in the bath and telling her ‘you’re next’. The twins are clearly capable of enacting harm on the living, but it is only in the final act of the film that we realise their anger is not directed at Jordan, and they are just trying to warn her about their real killers: her aunt and uncle.

The final fate of the murderers is left to the imagination as the girls attack them off camera to the sound of their horrific screams.
