In the tradition of other Scott Masters productions Twisted is a slick, glossy looking feature. The movie is designed to showcase Studio 2000 exclusive Mark Slade, and does a nice job with the task. The script is a loose adaptation of Scream, whereas Mark is receiving scary telephone calls that pertain to - one guess - sex!
