Dr. Cask: Her technique is no better than yours.
Juliet: That's not...
Dr. Cask: Take the compliment. Her technique is no better. Her efficiency is worse. So, what makes Vivian the star and you the... whatever you are? She plays like the devil is at the door.
Juliet: What about Moira?
Dr. Cask: Moira?
Juliet: She beat Vi the first time around. Is that how she played?
Dr. Cask: She played like the devil was in the room.

I thought the story wasn't wildly original but just different enough to make it feel fresh. The pacing felt very good and kept me solidly engaged from start to finish. I wish there was a little bit more background as far as the supernatural aspect and where and how it manifested in the modern day.
The acting was hit or miss. The main blonde twin did an excellent job throughout. Her range of emotion was really quite good and she gave a solid performance. The other twin did a decent job and while her delivery often felt natural, many times it felt situationally "inappropriate". Some of the side characters were not all that great.
I really liked the score/sound design, the overall vibe of this production and I was quite pleased with the ending as well. It felt in-line with the story and not a cop out like so many are nowadays. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
