Polish film and TV writer/director Agnieszka Smoczyńska's biographical film "The Silent Twins" is heading to Peacock. The movie is inspired by the book of the same name written by investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace. Published in 1986 under the title "The Silent Twins: A true story of love and hate, dreams and desolation, genius and destruction," Wallace's book is itself based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters who only communicated with each other, and came to be known as "the silent twins."
Smoczyńska's film is heading to Peacock after getting a very limited theatrical release from Focus Features on September 16, 2022 -- meaning, this is probably the first time most people have even heard of the movie. So, before it joins acclaimed 2022 films like Scott Derrickson's "The Black Phone" on NBCUniversal's streaming service, here's everything you need to know about the film ahead of time.

"Silence was their bond. Imagination set them free." Focus Features has revealed the official US trailer for The Silent Twins, based on a true story, the latest from unique Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska. This originally premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival this year, playing in the Un Certain Regard section; it also stopped by the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in Czechia. The Silent Twins is the astounding true story of twin sisters who only communicated with one another, and never spoke to anyone else. As a result, they created a rich, fascinating world to escape the reality of their own lives. But this ends up leading them down a reckless path which lands them in an even worse place. Based on the best-selling book The Silent Twins, the film stars Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrance as the two twins. The cast also includes Jodhi May, Michael Smiley, Nadine Marshall, Treva Etienne,...

Painting and horror movies do occasionally meet and create something great. Recently Velvet Buzzsaw and Bliss have both been well received while covering the art world and blending it with some weird and twisted horror. Legend of the Muse tries to lead down a similar path.
We meet a painter, Adam (Riley Egan) who suddenly gets inspiration when he meets a ‘mythical and deadly spirit from Celtic lore who becomes his muse and lover’. His artwork starts to get noticed but the spirit brings along a whole host of other problems. Mainly that she murders people and leaves Adam to clear up the mess.
