Twins Effect, or as it is sold in North America, Vampire Effect, is a vampire-hunting romp that in Asia, would have acted as a vehicle for the canto-pop duo The Twins. For our audience, they're just a couple of cute Chinese girls with variable acting skills made to look badass by action choreographer Donnie Yen. With Edison Chen as the heartthrob "goodie" vampire and Jackie Chan in an irrelevant comedy subplot. Throw in early 2000s CGI and you have the makings of a disaster, but surprise! It's a lot of fun! The comedy is actually funny and the action is top notch, inventive and furious. It gets a little mystical at the end and I'm not sure I can fill the plot holes for you, but Twins Effect only wants to entertain you with eye candy, and it does that very well. In fact, my Kung Fu Friday gang left asking if there was a sequel. (There's a Twins Effect II with much of the same cast, but it's a period film with absolutely nothing to do with vampires.) 8 years 10 months ago
