Interesting facts

Twists of Terror, originally titled Primal Scream, is a 1997 Canadian made-for-television horror anthology film directed by Douglas Jackson and starring Jennifer Rubin, Françoise Robertson, Nick Mancuso and Joseph Ziegler.

Production

The film was based on a screenplay by horror and sci-fi novelist John Shirley, known for his work on The Crow. It was produced by Canadian studio Filmline International (in conjunction with Canada's The Movie Network), with U.S. studio Paramount Pictures acquiring distribution rights.

Filming occurred in Montreal, Quebec and Léry, Quebec. The cast consisted of local actors from Quebec and other parts of Canada, aside from the first segment, which features American actress Jennifer Rubin, who had notably appeared in the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors ten years prior.

Martin Neufeld, who appears in the second segment "The Clinic", later recalled that he was nervous to be working with veteran actor Nick Mancuso, saying on his website, "I had always been a fan of Nick Mancuso since his Stingray days, a show that I enjoyed immensely and watched regularly. So when I found out that I would be working with Nick I was very excited.
