Twisted Seduction

A Harvard graduate who is nothing short of a genius decides the best way to impress the woman of his dreams is to kidnap her. That's what he learned from an Ivy League education? Apparently. However, the lady concerned is having none of it. She would have been justified in killing him, but after striking him with that golf club once, foolishly made for the door. Had she landed a few more blows she could have incapacitated him and tied him up. There are many missed opportunities like this, but the plot is even more implausible than it is silly, and the two twists at the end, well, the first is even less credible.

Granted this was made on a low budget, but as psychological dramas go, it is not. Still, at least there was no rape scene, although by the time he does get her into bed, most juries would agree that some sort of Stockholm syndrome was afoot, convict him of that as well as kidnapping, and throw away the key.

I was searching for trailers on the web for the "Fifty shades of Grey" book series and I landed on a trailer for the indie flick "Twisted Seduction".

It got my interest within the first few seconds of the trailer because it dealt with the same general subject matter / erotic thriller / submissive-dominant tone.

So I Googled it to find out where I could watch the film and found it in a free streaming form, on the official movie site.

I started with low expectations, since there was a message from the director at the beginning, stating that they made the film with $30K of their own money.

The first 15 minutes were a bit slow and creepy, but I quickly started to be deeply invested in the characters. I was soon loving every minute of it. The director was a master at building a deep connection between the characters and the audience.

Towards the end, the movie had already exceeded my expectations and delivered fully, but it came back with a double twist and left me completely surprised. It is THE best independent movie I've seen my entire life. The ending is simply UNGUESSABLE. TWO THUMS UP!

Brilliant...

Remarkable indie film...

I stumbled upon this film by pure accident and was not expecting it to be such a great film...

A very well told story that help my attention...

Much better than the run-of-the-mill Hollywood blockbuster...

Thumbs up to this first time screenwriter...

This is a must see for any movie buffs...

You will really enjoy how this great tale ends...

Awesome!!!

I saw Twisted Seduction at the Fantasial film festival in Montreal and absolutely LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! I did not know what to expect from it, I thought it was going to be a scary movie but it turned out to be somewhat romantic. I went to see it with my girlfriends and we totally got into it. It started a bit slow, but then it got SO GOOD. The acting was strong, the dialogues very intelligent and realistic. The director did a good job to make the story believable. It was his first film. He was there with the actor and answered few questions after the film It was his first film. I can't wait to see more of his films.

The ending was totally unexpected! One word to describe this film... ENTERTAINING!

When I saw this movie at the Fantasia Festival during summer I didn't really excepted a horror movie with gore like you can see at this festival. What really attracted me toward this film is what I like to call a "situation movie". In most of them there's a few character (2-4) in the whole movie, the story happen in almost a single place and mostly there's a character development/evolution through the whole movie. Which is the case in Twisted Seduction.

One of the strength of this movie is in my opinion a well written story, the dialogues between the two characters were really good, funny, disturbing and somewhat cute in some part. It's a bit complicated to put this movie in a genre so to speak but don't let that stop you from watching it if you have the chance.
