A Major Disappointment

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I never saw Brian DePalma's 'Sisters', but even without that background I could tell right off that this movie's screenplay was going to be very derivative of a bunch of other, much better, thriller and suspense movies. Think Hitchcock with more gore and outright screwing and much poorer performances and you'll have the right idea. It was boring enough in spots that I fast forwarded (at 1.5 speed) through a bunch of setup scenes in the middle of the movie just to get to something that looked more entertaining. That was never an issue with Hitchcock. Still, even 2nd rate Hitchcock can be fun on occasion (I'm thinking of the movie "Squirm" which riffed on "The Birds") and the sleazy tone of the screenplay takes this in a direction that any young adolescent male would want Hitchcock to go. You have to work very hard indeed to overlook the plot holes here - i.e., while the evil twins' amazing resemblance to Jennifer may allow her to frame Jennifer based on eyewitness testimony, the evil twin also leaves fingerprints and DNA clues all over the place at each of her murders. 30 seconds of actual forensic investigation (and the total lack of back spatter on Jennifer) would clear the "good" twin. And the two DIs are probably the worst detectives in the history of policework -not only do they suck at their jobs,but the kind of abusive behavior they display towards a young woman would get them suspended in any major metro police department.Also the story arc doesn't quite work - the screenplay is either one final plot twist too long or too short.(This was also a problem in "Penetration Angst") Either the movie should end when the good twin is mistakenly shot by the police in the holiday home (and the evil twin gets to continue playing her part), or else after the final cock-up in the intensive care ward, the good twin should either go nuts herself or the bad twin should get taken out. The "pathetic" ending they chose just doesn't fit the tone and mood of the rest of the film.A fair amount of black humor, a reasonable amount of skin and sleaze, Fiona Horsey gets tied up again (a nice hogtie this time), a couple of nice visual setups here and there, and best of all, I got this movie as a part of a DVD pack with 12 movies for $5, which means that if I don't care to see this movie again, I can always use it as a drinks coaster. Or a skeet shooting target.

Twisted Sisters is about a set of twins (both played by Fiona Horsey), one a pregnant, happily engaged successful business-woman, the other a man-hating castrating she-bitch who would get Gloria Steinem's seal of approval. It's also about an hour and a half too long. Crammed with barely adequate acting, very derivative storyline, and not particularly grisly deaths, this is one that can be skipped and you won't anything at all. It's been done, and done much better in "Sisters" Only recommended for true dyed in the wool fans of Director Wolfgang Büld, all two of you.My Grade: D

From the moment it starts, Twisted Sisters has 'direct to video' written all over it. The performances are wretched; a feat which is matched by the phoney British accents and inane dialogue, the plot is ridiculous and the film puts a focus on gore to attempt to mask these unfortunate truths. The film actually reminded me of the minor hit Murder Set-Pieces in many ways as the plot is paper thin and serves only as an excuse for some mindless gore. However, despite the fact that Nick Palumbo's film had a bit more 'bite' with it's over the top set pieces and music score, the two films are about on par in terms of quality. The plot for this film takes obvious influence from Brian De Palma's hit Hitchcock tribute 'Sisters' and focuses on Jennifer - a young lass who 'has it all'. The cops begin to turn up a load of brutal murders in which the male victims have been castrated, and the blame is put on Jennifer. However, her parents later reveal that Jennifer wasn't an only child and, in fact, has a twin sister...This film really isn't very good, but somehow director Wolfgang Büld manages to make it entertaining in spite of that. There has been a lot of direct to video exploitation garbage released recently, from the aforementioned Murder Set Pieces to the awful August Underground and Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, all the way back to crap but fun films such as Delta Delta Die. This one would be somewhere in the middle between the rubbish and the decent stuff, as the film does at least have its moments. The conclusion to the film provides a few highlights, and despite some choppy handling throughout; the director comes good by the end with some delightfully sick imagery that actually does fit the feel of the movie. The gore is obviously important in a film like this, and many will be glad to know that Twisted Sisters isn't short on it. Some of the set pieces in the movie are overly silly, however, and the one involving fireworks stands out both on that front, and for looking incredibly fake. Overall, this is hardly a good film; but it has some decent moments, and fans of direct to video trash might get some enjoyment out of it.

Jennifer played by Fiona Horsey is pregnant and about to be married to Alan(Andrew Southern),the man of her dreams.Unfortunately for her witnesses to a series of brutal castration murders point to Jennifer.A pair of detectives discover that Jennifer has a murderous twin sister named Norah,who enjoys butchering and castrating men during sex."Twisted Sisters" is a pretty tasteless and wickedly funny exploitation film that offers some gore and a decent amount of sleaze.Horsey is great when playing the murderous Norah and equally good at conveying the innocent victim.The death by firework is easily the film's highlight.Overall,I enjoyed this film and you should too,if you liked "Penetration Angst" or "Lovesick:Sick Love".8 out of 10.
