This is actually pretty good!

No Craptacular Classic this week! I honestly expected this flick to suck,
simply because Uwe Boll has made all German directors look like crap.
(I beg of you Dr. Boll, please stop making movies, you really have no aptitude for it!)
Wolfgang Buld, on the other hand, might be pretty good one of these days.
Twisted Sisters tells the tale of Jennifer, a sweet, kind and charming young lady
who is very much in love with her boyfriend, and has just found out that she's pregnant.
The only problem is in the opening scene, we see her acting very much unlike that person.
She um, sorta does something pretty horrible to a guy she picks up in a bar.
Why would this nice girl do that?
OK. Fess up that you figured this one out.
What? You didn't? You're shitting me, right?
It's HER TWIN! DUH-DUH-DUH!!
Yep, Jennifer's folks fess up that she's a twin, and adopted, and it looks like sis is stark raving bonkers.
Jennifer is accused of her crimes, but it all plays out pretty nicely, with some good FX,
and a solid if unexceptional cast. The script isn't perfect, but I'll give Buld a pass as English might
not be his first language, and a few lines are kind of clunky. Fiona Horsey plays the girls, and the scenes
where they are together are very well done, Buld pulls it all off with a body double and some really good editing. Fiona however, is one radiant and seriously smokingly hot young lady.
Someone cast her in something other than a low budget European film, and watch her make a name for herself.
Now the whole twins gig has been done to death, and plotwise, this is nothing special, but it's done with enthusiasm and competently shot with some nice angles, lighting, etc.
No flushers, damn, give this thing two stars.....let's see what Buld comes up with next, and as he has worked with Fiona
Horsey several times, let's hope she's along for the ride.
