Tales from the Crypt: My Brother's Keeper starts as Siamese twins Eddie (Timothy Stack) & Frank (Jonathan Stark) who are joined at the waist are having a drink in a nightclub, Frank begins to talk to a woman named Marie (Jessica Harper) & they get on well until she realises Frank & Eddie are joined when she leaves in a hurry. The next day & the twins visit a surgeon who says that he might be able to separate them but there is great risk with the operation that either or both twins will die, Frank is scared & refuses to sign but Eddie has a devious plan to convince him otherwise...
This Tales from the Crypt story was episode 17 from season 2, co-written & directed Peter S. Seaman I thought My Brother's Keeper was another entertaining tale from the crypt. The script by Seaman & Jeffrey Price was based on a story from the 'Shock SuspenStories' comic book has a darkly comic feel to it with some amusing scenes like when the twins fight each other & another part when their both in bed with Frank talking to Marie while next to him his brother is getting whipped by a dominatrix. Each twin is portrayed differently with Eddie desperate to be separated from his brother which leads to a neat twist about halfway through the episode which I personally didn't see coming & there's another decent twist at the end as well so overall I'd say My Brother's Keeeper is a fun entertaining story.
As usual for a Tales from the Crypt episode My Brother's Keeper is generally well made with good production values, the majority of this episode goes for a light hearted approach & there's no real scares although someone has a meat clever stuck gorily in their back at the end. The acting is good.
My Brother's Keeper is another great tale from the crypt that's well worth a watch for those who like the twisted & unusual.
