The Twins Effect has long been a really good movie for me. First time I saw this movie I saw it aired here on Norwegian tv.. Not really expecting anything special from it I watched it.. The result, Well for me it turned out to be many months of looking to find the actuall title of the movie as I couldn't seem to remember..
Now today, I still love the movie equally much as I did the first time I saw it after having rewatched it many times already..

The story basically revolves around Vampires and the usual vampire plots, This gets topped off with romance and comedy. A horror movie with a different twist to it.. Recently lots of members of the Vampire generations royal family members have either dissapeared or been found dead..

The result, She decides to take a seat with him and taste some of his expensive freshly imported whine ''blood''. This experience being new to new to Kazaf as he has never before interacted with a human woman it initially ends up with him falling for her. It doesn't make things any better that The Girl's older brother is a vampire hunter either.. A story about Love between a Human and a Vampire. Will the secret keep them apart or strengthen their bonds?

I really liked the movie, Its special and unpredictable at the most.. The things I might now have liked quite that good about it wouldn't be to much.. Maybe how fast it ended.. It makes you want to keep watching..

I would recommend this movie to all Vampire romance lovers.. Its a pretty good movie when you get into the whole plot. Check it out, You won't be dissapointed..
