Twisted Sisters is collaboration between German writer/director Wolfgang Buld and British indie Purple Orange Films. So yeah in a nutshell it’s a foreign indie flick, it has that foreign PAL format look to it, and all the actors speak British like their on some low budget television show. But hey, I’m not knocking the film, because of the way it looks but rather the fact that this film starts off very slow. Now when I say slow it’s not that the killing does not begin right away, because in fact it does, however the plot is not very well established in the first fifteen minutes, and that in my book leaves the plot open to failure.
The story is about a girl, whom has a pretty simple life, living with her boyfriend, and having a simple life in the city. However at the beginning of the film we’re not so sure if she is leading another life as a serial killer who’s going bar to bar killing innocent men who are just looking to get a quick lay from any wiling women. However it’s very obvious that there are two girls who are in fact twins that were separated at birth. So the film has this simple plot of a good twin, bad twin thing going on. The bad twin however knows about the good twin and sets her up to lead the cops to her as the killer. In the end it becomes a battle between two sisters, where only one will turn out alive.
The acting in the film is pretty decent, I really have no complaints there, as well as the special make-up effects which were pretty good, except for the weak gun shot wound at the end. The whole over all production value of the film oddly depends on which location the characters end up at. I mean most of the time it takes place in an apartment, and a house. A local bar or restaurant. However the beginning bar scene seemed a bit rehearsed, as every extra that was on set that day seemed to lack the direction given to them as they all seemed to be watching the action, instead of pretending they were at a bar. I’ve been to plenty of bars to know that it doesn’t matter how good looking a girl is. If she walks into a bar, not everyone’s heads will turn.
Overall, I know this is yet another short review, but it’s just another basic horror/slasher film, that tries to be something new, however it’s something that as horror fans is nothing new to us at all. There is some nudity and the girl who plays both sisters in this film very attractive. But that’s about the only thing this film really has going for it. I mean the story is not bad, buts’ it’s nothing special or a film that will have people talking about it.
