twisted!

Pretty cool movie if your into twisted love stories/suspense. I wasn't sure what to expect from this one because I hadn't heard much about it in the media. When it came recommended by a friend I went and saw it, and man am I pleased I did! It has a crazy plot with lots of fun and shocking twists. The characters are beyond interesting and keep you on your toes. If any one has a love life like this, holy moly! Defiantly made for the big screen, not real life! I don't want to live it, but I loved to watch it! The movie itself was very esthetically pleasing as well, taking you around to beautiful places and showcasing some awesome scenery. Just as this film was recommended to me, I am recommending it to you! Enjoy!
