Twisted Sisters
2006, 97 minutes
Twisted Sisters, the new film from Wolfgang Büld is a tale of love, jealousy and deceit. Why start your own life when you can take someone else's?
Twisted Sisters is a dark thriller dealing with the personal struggle between two twins. Jennifer was given everything a girl could wish for. Norah learned to survive on nothing. Now it is time for the tables to turn. Locating, stalking and mimicking the life of her sister, Norah decides it is time that she had it all - and no-one will get in her way! This is a dark film which delves into the mind of a twisted young woman whose lust for the 'perfect life' is fuelled by jealousy and hatred towards her sister. Ever since the twins were separated at a young age Norah knew that she had the harder life. Years later and Norah finally tracks down Jennifer. She lives in a nice flat, has a loving boyfriend and seems to be living a dream. Alan, a hard-working young doctor, is devoted to Jennifer and sees their relationship growing stronger day by day - especially with the news of Jennifer's pregnancy. From his point of view nothing could be better! Unfortunately Norah does not share his idyllic sentimentality. A Wolfgang Büld script would not be the same without a little controversy - and the catalyst for discussion is the way in which Norah becomes the deranged serial killer. The angst of watching Jennifer in a happy relationship with Alan drives her to despair and her warped mind can only think of the end result. Her plan is to discredit Jennifer by taking on her persona, looks and life. Unfortunately for Jennifer this means killing, castrating and mutilating a string of young men before the final showdown! Enter the presence of two policemen, Inspector Caffrey and Sergeant Woodgate. A double act in their own right - Caffrey, a hard-nosed cynical Inspector and Woodgate, his optimistic partner, take on the case. Judging that all the evidence points neatly to Jennifer the cops move in for a quick arrest only to find that there are more questions than answers. Suddenly a whole new world is revealed to Jennifer, one that means she can no longer be alone!
