Twisted

About This Movie

Twisted (1985) is an interesting piece in the horror-thriller genre that plays with a tense atmosphere and unsettling pacing. The film opens with the eerie discovery of a dead maid, which sets a rather morbid tone right from the start. You get this creepy domestic vibe as the Collins family scrambles to find a new babysitter for their daughter Susan. Helen, the new sitter, brings a sense of innocence mixed with dread, and you can feel the tension simmering beneath the surface. The practical effects are decent for the time and add to the film's raw edge. The performances have a certain earnestness that keeps you engaged, even if the direction feels a bit uneven. It's one of those films that evokes curiosity, leaving you pondering its themes long after the credits roll.
