Twisted (1986)
4/10
Low budget 80's thriller with shallow plot
7 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This movie has a really "cheap" feel to it. Almost an amateurish feel. From the beginning, it's quite boring and the plot isn't very organized. Christian Slater plays an intelligent, nerdy kid but he's quite the manipulating, cold sociopath. He's an evil kid. His parents are wealthy and seem to have a lot of dysfunction going on between them. They hire a babysitter, who has a history of mental problems, unbeknownst to them, but this woman is actually harmless and very sweet and caring. It's their son who's dangerous and mean. We see Slater tick off the school jock, and of course the jock comes looking for him. The jock's role was kind of disorganized. On one hand he seems like a nice guy, on the other he seems like a punk. The plot is quite boring and shallow. The acting isn't the best either. And this movie is mostly predictable. I'm a big fan of 80's slashers, but I still struggled to sit this one out! Very low budget, not so great acting, disorganized plot, can't connect to any of the characters(except the babysitter a little bit). Watch it if you absolutely have nothing else to watch.
