Doppelganger
After being implicated in a murder, a young woman flees New York City and moves to Los Angeles, where she rents a room from a writer. They begin an affair, but it seems she's been followed by a homicidal duplicate of herself.
Why it matters
A 90s low-key psychological slasher that blends mystery and twin-twist paranoia with a quirky, offbeat vibe.
- Early Drew Barrymore charm anchors a surprisingly watchable mix of thriller and romcom tropes.
- Practical effects and suspense lean into body double doppelgänger dread rather than gore splashes.
- A snapshot of early 90s indie horror-thriller cross-pollination, straddling slasher and psychological thriller territory.
- The bizarre ending divides viewers but cements its cult curiosity status — not for genre purists, but for fans of unsettling doubles and urban dread.
