It's not twisted. I cried after I'd watched it and went to my family to seek solace.

Juri
(who has seen it at least four times, twice on big screen, and who admits there are some stale scenes throughout the film, but the best scenes rule out the worst ones; Danny O'Peary discusses the film in some depth in his CULT MOVIES and points out for example that Powell himself plays Mark Lewis's father in the old home movies and that Mark Lewis is quite close to Leo Marks, the screenwriter's own name, so it's personal at many levels)
