For a long time, I have been trying to identify a film that I saw only snippets of, about fifteen years ago.
From what I saw and remember, the film is a British production, set in the UK, and is about a pair of identical twin sisters. The girls seem to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, are of African descent (?Jamaican), and are, I think, criminally insane. It had the feel of a documentary, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.
The reason that I am more than curious to find out just what movie this is, is because it seemed _very_ creepy, very eerie and would probably be worth seeing in its entirety.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Not sure, but maybe [this](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0128720/) or [this](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0313607/)?

Many thanks!
It must be **Silent Twins** even though the IMDB link provides almost no information. I say this because searching on “silent twins” yields [this book](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/009958641X/202-9301993-0317421) which is clearly what I was remembering (sounds like a good book too!).
It’s also interesting to me that I was off by 50% in my estimate as to when I saw it (I grow old, I grow old …)
Thanks
