In which Drew Barrymore singlehandedly puts the “erotic” in this forgotten erotic thriller. A neglected erotic thriller that got lost in the glut of the 1990s erotic thriller boom, Doppelganger (1993) comes courtesy of writer-director Avi Nesher, of such acclaimed films as She (1982), Time Bomb (1991) and Raw Nerve (2000).
