Synopsis

Through interviews, filmmaker Andrew Horn traces the history of Twisted Sister from their origins in the bar scene of early 1970s Long Island to their pre-MTV rise as a popular regional, New York-based band in the mid 1970s and early 1980s.[1]

Production

Horn became acquainted with the band when he made his previous documentary, The Nomi Song. Though he was not a fan, he found the band to be interesting and entertaining.[1]

Release

In 2014, Dee Snider endorsed the documentary and its Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for distribution.[2] We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! premiered at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam on November 30, 2014.[1] Band member Jay Jay French attended the premiere.[3] A preview fundraiser was held at a club in Ferndale, Michigan, on January 9, 2015.[1]

Reception

Neil Young of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a raucously riotous rags-to-riches record of rip-roaring rock renegades".[4] Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent wrote that it is "uproarious and poignant by turns".[5]
