 Dan Shaw: PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINISM IN DEAD RINGERS
Based on a notorious case of two New York gynecologists who were found dead of drug overdoses in their (completely trashed) Upper East Side apartment, Dead Ringers is a stunningly realistic film which gives Hitchcock a run for his money in its relentless and terrifying depiction of characters on the brink of mental collapse.
Dead Ringers is a profoundly pessimistic work, which mocks all efforts of the human will to wrest control of its future from deterministic forces.
Dead Ringers is the work of a master who has come into his own, a mature creation that is profound in its depth of characterization and psychological insight.

 Horror Diva - Dead Ringers - Fun, intelligent, thought provoking, and challenging examination of horror and the uncanny ...
I believe the connection between anxieties around the feminine in Dead Ringers and Canadian identity is found in the feminization of Canada (or any second world, post-colonial country).
Canada is feminine in that she is defined in relation to the aggressive masculine (United States, Britain), her nature is ultimately passive, and she is representative of the other (in being a multi-cultural melting pot).
I have shown that within the two protagonists of the film are elements of the fragmented identity (as related to Canada's duality and the language debate), colonial victimization, gender anxieties, and anxieties around the scientific unknown.

 'Dead Ringers'
"Ringers'" eerie-steely qualities will separate the Cronenberg fans and serious cine'astes from those who thought this was a caper farce starring Bette Midler and Shelley Long.
Watching "Ringers" is not unlike watching a critical operation -- unnerving but also enthralling.
The Canadian director enlivens that old movie standby, the split-screen process, with computerized state-of-the-art finesse, so that Irons (in a finely snipped, doubly assured performance) interacts credibly with himself.

 Dead Ringers
In the anecdotal interest of full disclosure: I first saw Dead Ringers when I was an adolescent--fourteen, to be precise; I watched it back-to-back on video with another new-release rental, Big.
I suspect that women are mortified by this movie because almost everything in the examination scenes is left to the imagination: the familiar squirms and grunts of the female patients are doubly effective in a Hitchcockian manner.
Dead Ringers unfolds in blue, sterile places--even the Mantle home gleams like an operating room--but the movie is shot through with a curious warmth.

 Dead Ringers (1988): Reviews
An astonishing tour de force--especially for Irons, whose sense of nuance is so refined that one can tell in a matter of seconds which twin he is playing in a particular scene.
Extremely unsettling, at times amusing, cold yet personal, Dead Ringers gradually and deliberately comes to horrify the viewer, rather than shocking outright.
At times Dead Ringers also tilts out of coherence, with scenes that are dramatically stillborn.
