Lee Eisenberg A few years before Christian Slater got really famous, he starred in this really weird movie about a disturbed teenager. Trust me, some of the things that he does are likely to make your blood freeze. And if only the baby sitter had known these things before she arrived; certain things might have not happened! The truth is, "Twisted" is nothing particularly special. Maybe at best, it's just a before-they-were-famous situation for Christian Slater. But the movie does have a certain charm to it, if only due to the ugly subject matter. Still, I don't recommend this to people with weak stomachs. So check it out...if you can handle it.

Pepper Anne Before Mac Culkin ever played that psychotic little killer kid in "The Good Son", Christian Slater was serial killer in the making, Mark Collins in "Twisted."A new family moves into a quiet, small town. But the body count goes up thanks to that oblivious family's completely sociopathic teenaged son (or as their parents like to say, "he's our adolescent"). Forget the part of the story involving the parents as it is of no consequence to the main point: watching this kid Mark who's hobbies include torturing small animals and bumping off babysitters.You can get lost in how absolutely deranged this kid is, at times wanting to jump on the screen and beat the crap out of him yourself. He's such a giant, scary wierdo. And that's your whole movie, really. I can't tell you enough how wierd he is. And, like another viewer pointed out, how did the parents never suspect anything? I suppose they were (listen to what they mention about him about the night of the first murder), though they may have unlikely realized to what level of insanity he was on. And how they couldn't figure that out when his little wiener sister did was beyond me, too. All I can say is that this movie was Super Creep. Super Creep. It's Super Creepy, yeah!

jdollak After not having a chance to see this movie since a viewing when I was very young, I searched for a copy, eventually snagging one on ebay for about $6 (after shipping). I enjoyed this movie. It's not good or anything...but for an early 80s TV movie, it has a shlock appeal. This is a minor spoiler, but not an important plot point - there is an implied animal murder in this movie. A kitten is thrown into a fireplace, but there's nothing graphic. And previous comments are accurate. The movie has some logical problems. And the summary indicates that 'psychological' games are played with the babysitter. This isn't as strong as we'd all like it to be. Don't search it out unless - you're in the mood for made-for-TV horror - you have a facination with the younger Slater - you've run out of decent horror to watch at the local video store

walker_eve I've seen my share of Christian Slater films. Some were good and so on. I know this is not very original on a movie about a child with some morbid problems. I rather liked this one especially with Mr. Slater. I bought it out of curiosity and I thought he was pretty good as this cruel older brother and anger of his society actions. It can be pretty upsetting. It was too quickly wrapped up in the end though.
