Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Philip Kaufman's first thriller in decades after The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Henry & June. Critics were... confused.
Twisted arrived at the tail end of the '90s psycho-thriller boom, when every studio needed a Basic Instinct or Single White Female. It did not spark a revival.
