Review of Twisted Nerve (1968) by Sarah . — 08 Jun 2007

A horrible, horrible movie which is just plain bizarre rather than scary or suspenseful (which it seems to be going for). The only remotely redeeming aspect of this movie is the soundtrack by the great Bernard Herrmann (Boulting is, alas, a far cry from Hitchcock).

The most disturbing (and for all the wrong reasons) scene in the "film" is where the great British stage actress, (a 40-ish) Billie Whitelaw, attempts to seduce teenage "Georgie" whom she believes to be mentally handicapped.

..with surprising results. In short, this film fails on every level unless you're looking to see one of the most hilariously bad movies of all time...
