Ahead of its debut, Shudder has released an eerie new clip from Taneli Mustonen’s The Twin. The film, starring Teresa Palmer (A Discovery of Witches, Warm Bodies), streams from May 6, 2022.
Following the aftermath of a tragic accident that claimed the life of one of their twins, Rachel (Palmer) and husband Anthony (Steven Cree, A Discovery of Witches, Outlander) relocate to the other side of the world with their surviving son in the hopes of building a new life.
