VIDEO \u2013 3.0\/5 | AUDIO \u2013 3.25\/5
<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Twisted Tales<\/i><\/b> is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and like most low budget movies, this one doesn\u2019t look great where black levels are grayer and it has a soft texture throughout.<\/p>\n

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is serviceable although nothing extraordinary where dialogue sound clear enough while outside elements don\u2019t have much of an impact.

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, Twisted Tales<\/i><\/b> is an interesting concept taking more than a little cue from \u201cTales from the Crypt\u201d and getting together some decent talent by Tom Holland who wrote and directed each of the nine vignettes. However, more than a few of those aren\u2019t very good or well acted yet there\u2019s a couple that are at least watchable including the one starring William Forsythe and Danielle Harris.<\/p>\n
