Twists of Terror: What a pleasant surprise
Going in with no knowledge of the film I was elated to see that it was a horror anthology as I have a real fondness for them.
The trouble however with anthologies is they can only be as good as the weakest story and they always tend to have at least one that is somewhat lacking. Twists of Terror however is a rare exception with three great stories and a likeable wrap around.
Starring Jennifer Rubin, Françoise Robertson and Nick Mancuso the three stories not only manage to surprise and entertain in good measure but the competent cast really elevates them well above what you'd expect.
All three stories are on par, very likeable and don't go quite the way you'd expect at all. So much credit is due to the writers, they really did something special here.
Twists of Terror is right up there with Creepshow (1982) and Trick r Treat (2007) in my estimation and I think its a real shame that it isn't more well known.
Essential viewing for fans of horror anthologies.
The Good:
Great cast
Perfectly written stories
Nice wraparound
The Bad:
Just a couple of minor unanswered questions
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
There is always a correlation between a womans beauty and her level of craziness
Jennifer Rubin should have had a better career
Video dating needs to make a comeback!
