Twisted

About This Movie

Twisted (1999) offers a blend of horror and thriller that's both slick and glossy, making it an interesting watch for those into the genre. Directed by an unknown, this film takes some cues from the Scream franchise, with its core plot revolving around Mark Slade receiving ominous phone calls. The atmosphere is charged with suspense, enhanced by practical effects that, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm that’s hard to ignore. Slade's performance is solid, capturing both the vulnerability and tension of his character as he navigates this twisted nightmare. It’s definitely one of those films that captures a specific moment in late '90s horror, and it’s worth exploring for collectors interested in that era's cinematic style.

Twisted has surfaced in various formats, but the VHS releases seem to hold a certain nostalgic charm that collectors appreciate. Its scarcity is marked by the fact that it didn't receive much attention upon release, making original copies quite elusive. There's a niche interest in the film, especially among those who enjoy lesser-known entries from the late '90s horror scene, which adds to its appeal for dedicated collectors.
