Twisted
Every murder has a mark.
Directed by Philip Kaufman
Produced by Harlequin Pictures, Paramount Pictures
A paranoid psychological thriller about a detective unraveling as her past lovers become murder victims, leaving her questioning her own sanity and guilt.
Recently promoted and transferred to the homicide division, Inspector Jessica Shepard feels pressure to prove herself -- and what better way than by solving San Francisco's latest murder? However, as Shepard and her partner, Mike Delmarco, soon discover, the victim shared a romantic connection to her. As more of Shepard's ex-lovers turn up dead, her mind starts to become unstable, and she begins to wonder if she could be the very killer she's trying to track down.
