The Patricia Frontain directorial, ‘Twisted Sister,’ is a drama movie that revolves around Emily, who seems to be living a picture-perfect life — with a loving daughter, a successful PR firm, a significant amount of family inheritance, and a caring husband named Kyle moving back in after effective couples therapy. However, her life turns upside down when Lily arrives and claims to be her half-sister. While Emily gladly takes her newly found half-sister in with open arms, she notices a change in her husband’s behavior.
To confirm and prove her claims, Lily agrees to do a DNA test while she and Emily spend quality time together, growing so close that the latter invites her to work at the PR firm. Out of nowhere, Emily is poisoned, and Kyle doesn’t hesitate to blame Lily. But when her DNA test confirms they are genuinely sisters, Emily becomes suspicious of her husband instead. The Lifetime movie consists of a typical dramatic undertone like most of the network’s productions as the story unfolds in and around Emily’s house and PR firm, with the backdrop constantly changing as the story progresses. Thus, if you want to know where ‘Twisted Sister’ was filmed, let’s hunt down the places together, shall we?
