Review – Twisted Tales

Screenwriter Tom Holland has a vaguely impressive list of credits, including the original Fright Night and the first Chucky movie. But if this mess is any indication, at some point he must have suffered some kind of Gary-Busey-esque brain injury. The IMDb notes are vague, but I’m guessing these vignettes were originally produced for web distribution and only later strung together into a DVD. I was somewhat taken with the acting, because it’s rare to see professional actors (including a few recognizable faces) so freely mixed with total amateurs who can barely deliver their lines. The scripts, on the other hand, are uniformly dreadful. The “Pizza Guy” segment was particularly excruciating, though that may just have been because it lasted longer than most of the others. Wish I’d skipped it
