Plot: Legend has it that if a vampire absorbs the blood of all six princes of the ruling class of each vampire nation, he will open a path called 'Day for Night' from the vampire bible, which essentially allows him to walk in daylight freely; thus becoming invincible. The Guild's top vampire hunter, Reese (Ekin Cheng) has hunted The Duke of Dekotes (Mickey Hardt) back to Hong Kong, where the Duke intends to find the last and final prince, Kazaf (Edison Chen), to open the 'Day for Night' passage. On arrival, Reese learns that he has been assigned a new partner by the Guild - a feisty yet inexperienced young girl named Gypsy (Gillian Chung), and matters are further complicated when Reese's baby sister, Helen (Charlene Choi), develops a romantic relationship with Prince Kazaf. And things really go from bad to worse as the Duke Dekotes captures Reese, leaving the fate of the world in the hands of these two inexperienced teens.. --------- Eastern pop music sensation the Twins (Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung) star in this action/comedy/horror yarn about an evil Duke's attempt to kill and collect the blood of a royal family of European vampires in order to become all powerful. The only surviving member of the family travels to Hong Kong, only to complicate his struggle by falling in love with a mortal girl who just happens to have two vampire hunters for brothers. Jackie Chan makes a cameo appearance. With the help of a high kicking Hong Kong bus driver, two girls who just want to have fun confront the grave responsibility of safekeeping the world from vampire domination.

«The Twins Effect is silly, disposable, and loaded with cheesy hijinks and crappy acting. It's also efficient and amusing brain dead fun, and at the very least cuter than your average Hollywood blockbuster.»
«Well, it's not Donnie's best work, Jackie appears only in as a cameo, the action is nothing earth shattering, the vampires were kinda weak, and the chicks really weren't that hot. That said, the movie is worth seeing if you don't go in with too-high expectations.»
«"The Twins Effect" is much more than just a starring vehicle for Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi of the perky pop singing duo, Twins, as it is also a riproaring good time and an adrenalin boost powerful enough to rupture arteries and induce massive heart faliure among people of ailing health.»
