Twisted Nightmare

Following the trend of slashers set in camps from the 80s, "Twisted Nightmare" (1987) brings with it all the clichés and predictability that the subgenre can offer, while at the same time entertaining the viewer.

As expected from a low-budget eighties slasher, the film features comical performances with absurd and meaningless reactions, the antagonist's desire for revenge and appealing scenes of sex and nudity. During the progression of the film, there are several moments in which the editing sounds confusing and poorly edited, with poorly executed slow motion effects and dislocated scene transitions. Despite these flaws, the film stands out relatively in terms of the soundtrack and the aesthetic sense of certain moments, focusing on a visual identity with the color blue recurring in the sets, ambiance and costumes. The "trash" moments entertain audiences who are not expecting a pretentious work, making the experience stimulating.

With clear inspirations in "Friday the 13th" (1980) and "The Burning" (1981), "Twisted Nightmare" fell into ostracism and did not please the majority, although it works as a slasher for a late afternoon.
