DeadRingers Season 1 Review: Rachel Weisz Is Doubly Brilliant In Clever Horror Revamp
The current TV landscape is overrun with adaptations of recognizable and iconic films. There are almost too many to list, and even more to come. Dead Ringers falls into the camp of remakes/reboots that offer something different through fundamental casting changes. Trading in Jeremy Irons for Rachel Weisz, this version of David Cronenberg's original film is not the body/psychosexual horror about two men abusing their power over women and struggling with their symbiotic living.
The writing for the series, courtesy of Alice Birch and the all-women’s writing room, is precise and scathing. Dead Ringers is unafraid, with visuals that will upset many stomachs, and writing that is just as effective. Cronenberg’s film was a psychosexual horror strictly filtered through the male gaze.
When one thinks of Dead Ringers or any Cronenberg project, the visuals are the standout, next to whatever wild concept Cronenberg is entertaining. The TV adaptation of Dead Ringers takes after its predecessor. It's a stylish and sleek affair. Borrowing some of the key aesthetics from the film, such as the use of red, both in the interior spaces and the constant use of blood. Seriously, this series is not for the faint of heart.
