I had the opportunity to sit down to watch the 1987 horror slasher movie "Twisted Nightmare" here in 2022. Sure, I had never heard about the movie, but of course I opted to watch it on account of it being a horror movie.
However, I have to say that writers Paul Hunt and Charles Philip Moore only managed to churn out a very mediocre and generic mid- to late-1980s horror cheese here with this movie. I mean, it was your archetypical slasher movie of where most of the killing was done in near-darkness so you couldn't really see what was going on. And forget about getting to see the killer, that was not happening either. So yeah, very much 1980s cheese right here.
The storyline in the movie was generic and bland. Sure, it might have worked out in 1987, but the movie hasn't aged well, and it just wasn't outstanding enough to manage to survive the passing of time. So you're not in for a particular great horror experience, should you opt to sit down and watch director Paul Hunt's "Twisted Nightmare".
The acting performances in the movie were actually adequate enough, taking into consideration the sheer level of cheese this movie turned out to be.
There are far better 1980s horror slasher movies out there, such as "Friday the 13th", "A Nightmare on Elm Street" or even "Halloween".
My rating of "Twisted Nightmare" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
