I have had a million reasons to thank Stacie Ponder of Final Girl fame over the past two decades that the two of us have been parallel blogging here on the internet, but Doppleganger is sure the latest one. A truly bewildering slab of camp supernatural horror from 1993 that stars Drew Barrymore that I'd somehow never even heard of, much less seen -- not until Stacie announced she was covering on this week's episode of her podcast "Final Girl After Dark," anyway. So I watched this movie last night and... holy fucking hell, where has this movie been all my days? I'm not going to spoil anything, I'm not saying a single more word on it -- I'm only here to tell every single one of you to go watch this outrageous and unhinged movie right this minute if you too have never seen it and therefore not yet lived. It's streaming all over the place including on Tubi or right here on Prime. I promise you that whatever you think is going to happen in this movie you will never guess what is going to happen in this movie. And then after you've watched it go listen to Stacie dive into its WTF-ery and cry-laugh along with her. I paused the movie and went online and bought the blu-ray 3/4s of the way into my viewing experience, and that was before the last act happens, which... my god. Cinema is still out there. You just have to go digging y'all. Masterpiece!
