The Team | Reel Twisted

Our Story

Reel Twisted was born from a shared passion for horror and a recognition that storytelling is evolving. As vertical video consumption explodes across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, we saw an opportunity to bring genuine horror craft to the mobile format.

We're not just creating content—we're pioneering a new way to experience fear. Our vertical productions are designed to feel intimate, immediate, and impossible to scroll past. Every frame is composed for the phone in your hand, every sound designed to hit through your earbuds.

Based in the UK, we combine traditional filmmaking excellence with digital-native sensibilities. Our work has screened at festivals worldwide and accumulated millions of views online, proving that quality horror transcends format.
