A smart homage to genre filmmaking, The Similars is a fun and frightening film that balances socio-political issues with aplomb.

Most episodes of The Twilight Zone run 30 minutes, and there's barely enough material here to justify a feature, but Ezban makes it work. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound Aug 18, 2016
a surreal assimilation of reality to fantasy, wearing its generic influences (sci-fi, noir, horror, pulp) on its face, while also weaving them into the very fabric of it story. It may be concerned with copying, but The Similars is a true original. Go to Full Review

This SF spoof eventually turns silly, but not in an interesting way. Go to Full Review

The best feature-length episode of The Twilight Zone you’ll see this year. Go to Full Review

Isaac Ezban's psychotropic sci-fi film's more bizarre plot devices poke all kinds of proverbial fun at the golden era greats the film is unabashedly aping, but the film's real draw is the characters' predicament ... Go to Full Review

Los Parecidos is a beautiful looking, paranoia laden Mystery/Sci-Fi cross over that feels almost like an old Twilight Zone episode made by a talented crew of cinema lovers with modern effects. Go to Full Review

Albus W Mar 15, 2019 Imagine if Kafka had written The Regulators
Leia G Jan 9, 2019 the length of the film is a bit too long. the good thing about it is that the characters are very well developed, but they are not charismatic enough for the viewer to care. the tone noir is a great hit, this film can and should be remembered for a long time See more
Han R Oct 31, 2018 A sci-fi fantasy movie that plays out like a comic book even though its not animated. The plot is extremely original, as is the case with a lot of fantasy movies. The first half is ok (which sets up the story) but then the second half is great after the reveal. The acting is great from all parties involved. The black and white definitely adds to the comic book vibe, and it looks great while doing so. See more
Harry P Oct 30, 2018 Isaac Ezban parece haber creado un autentico tributo al cine de antaño que tanto glorificó la ciencia ficción y el horror de los años cincuenta, y a pesar de que el tono y el estilo son tanto originales como clásicos, la cinta viene muy tarde en una época en la que el cine de este género no funciona, y la cinta no aporta gran ayuda al no tomarse enserio, desperdiciando una idea original dentro de un concepto risiblemente absurdo.

Draco P Jun 8, 2018 A perfect homage to The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. Went in expecting schlock, came out a fan.
Draco S Mar 16, 2018 I never saw any of "The Twilight Zone", but this movie is exactly how I imagine them. I like both the style and the story, even if it is a bit stretch thin. It fees old, and unfortunately not only for the fake film "dust and scratches" texture. See more
