Conjoined

Conjoined is a horror-comedy film directed by Joe Grisaffi and starring Tom Long, Michelle Ellen Jones and Keefer Barlow. The movie follows the story of a lonely man named Stanley (Tom Long) who is on the hunt for love. He decides to take matters into his own hands and creates a dating profile online.

However, he has a unique situation. Stanley was born with his twin attached to his body. The two have never been separated, and Stanley has accepted that he will never lead a normal life. However, his twin brother, who he communicates with telepathically, has other ideas. His brother convinces him that the only way to find true love is to separate and become two separate individuals.

Stanley hears his brother's arguments and agrees to the separation. They find a surgeon willing to do the procedure, and when it's all done, it seems like the right decision. Stanley's life becomes incredibly exciting, and he meets the girl of his dreams, Alina (Michelle Ellen Jones).

However, things take a turn for the worse when Stanley's brother starts murdering people in the small town they live in. Stanley becomes the prime suspect and must clear his name by finding his brother and bringing him to justice. The town's sheriff (Keefer Barlow) is on Stanley's tail, and he must prove his innocence before it's too late.

The movie is a horror-comedy that balances both genres seamlessly. It has both scary moments and hilarious moments that will keep you entertained throughout the film. The acting by the entire cast is impressive, and each actor brings a unique quality to their role.
