Theatrical report

Hmm... Twisted is another serial killer thriller that doesn't quite come up to the mark. Like Taking lives, it pits a pretty and unconventional woman against an unknown baddie who is, in fact, known to her. Eventually she becomes the subject of the killer herself. The running around, sneaking about in the dark, red herrings, hitting, kicking, bleeding and shooting are good but the plot is weak. Twisty, but weak.
