Rose moping around in the house. The nursery they envisioned is now furnished with two empty beds and a ton of feminine touches. We go several minutes before getting any hint that we have now jumped forward in time a good 7 years give or take. It’s even longer before it is telegraphed to the audience that A) the couple had twins and B) that the two kids have died. We have to pick these clues out of long scenes of Rose combing a creepy toy doll’s hair and obviously acting very very sad.
“…scenes of Rose combing a creepy toy doll’s hair and obviously acting very very sad.”
Okay, Okay. The kids have died and it is now their birthday. This triggers all manner of reasonable mourning from Rose, while her husband, the mentally stronger of the two, comes home day after day, tie loosened from his button-up shirt, to find his wife in bed with the doll. Rose soon begins to unravel a series of secrets that include a hidden satanic diary in the attic of the very, very average-looking home. As things get even stranger a ludicrous character named Nebula (Tracy McMullan) appears in their living room to skulk around looking like the sketchy love child of Alexis Colby and Patsy Stone.
What the s**t is happening? Choppy editing, poor acting, and a plot that cares not if the audience following along all join forces to make something remarkably bad called The Terrible Two. Out of respect for auteur Billy Lewis who was saddled with both writing and directing responsibilities, I will not reveal where the story goes. However, I can say that it’s consistent with the rest of the film in delivering a denouement that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, leaving plot lines dangling and forcing characters to do things that only serve the need to bring something, anything, to a merciful close.
The Terrible Two (2017) Directed by Billy Lewis. Written by Billy Lewis. Starring Donny Boaz, Cari Moskow, Reid Doyle, and Tracy McMullan.

this movie is s**t
It was amazing
How did the girls die I don’t get it
I loved it.
I have never acted before but I could act way better than these characters!! This movie lacks depth, emotions and talent.
This movie has to be the worse movie I ever regret seeing the actors are horrible now I know why I never seen this in the movies. all involved should be ashamed of themselves for even taking any kind of payment for such work
This movie sucks a*s. It should go back up the producers a*s where it belongs.
I couldn’t be more disappointed.. . I should make a movie .. Im Sure I could come up with a story that the viewer is able to follow without jumping all over the place . I had to guess or should I say assume part of the movie . I ended up turning it off .. I didn’t want to waste anymore of my only night off of work on what appears to be one of the worst movies I have seen . .
