Lifetime continues “ripped from the headlines” movie season with Twisted Sister, a thriller starring Mena Suvari and Joy Nash. How desperate would you have to be for a family to take in a stranger claiming to be your half-sister? And where do you draw the line with this supposed half-sister? Do you draw it at identity theft? This is the lesson that Mena Suvari’s character is gonna have to learn if she’s going to make it out of Twisted Sister alive.
Honestly between this and last week’s The Hillsdale Adoption Scam, everyone just needs to chill when it comes to trusting people who show up on your doorstep with a life-altering offer and/or revelation. It’s just never going to pan out like you want it to, people.

Is Twisted Sister based on a true story? It was ripped from the headlines — but it’s hard to say which headline, precisely. We’ve seen before how Lifetime uses real events as a springboard for a movie that ends up being mostly fictional or one that has the outline of a true story but with completely different details. So while it’s hard to pin down one specific story that inspired Twisted Sister, that’s not to say that it wasn’t based on a ripped-out headline. Have con artists tried to steal identities by posing as a half-sibling or long lost relative? Odds are yes — probably plenty of times! But in the case of the generally plausible story of Emily and her half-sister Lily, it seems like these specifics are all made up.
