God, so boring.

I saw this on AMC last night at about 3 in the morning (which might be why I didn't like it), and it put me to sleep. Literally. All I got from it was a bunch of random things happening, I thought maybe the mother was a ghost or something, or the evil twin was, and then some kid jumped on a pitchfork and died. It was really boring, and I'd expected better from this.

But is this the first movie to have the "evil twin" theme?

I agree. I already saw the plot twist coming like 10 minutes into the movie. Think about... it's called "The Other," and you never see the twins shot in the same frame... With the whole plot figured out (that Niles will probably do some evil deeds his "other" twin tells him to do) I had no interest in watching the rest of the movie 24 minutes in..
