About
You’ll like The Devil’s Double if you want a tense, unsettling true-story-style thriller driven by a standout dual performance and a heavy, 1990s atmosphere; Not for you if you dislike graphic adult content or want a strictly accurate historical drama like Salem or Banshee.
Pros: gripping dual performance; dark, intense story; late-night watchability | Cons: graphic adult content; uneven pacing; history questions raised
