Mind Twister is a 1994 American erotic thriller film directed by Fred Olen Ray, written by Mark Thomas McGee, and produced by Luigi Cingolani and Smart Egg Pictures.

After the profitable release of his previous erotic thriller Inner Sanctum, Ray saw potential for the genre in the direct-to-video market and helmed the production of a number of these films during the early-to-mid 1990s.

Suspecting a local psychiatrist, named Daniel Strahten, to be the murderer, the victim's friend, Heather, goes undercover as his therapy patient to reveal the truth, while Richard Howland, a seasoned police detective, follows the case.

Ray's colleague and fellow director Jim Wynorski suggested Suzanne Slater, with whom he had worked on the horror film Chopping Mall a few years earlier.

[4][6] The movie's opening death scene of the character Sheila Harrison crashing through a window featured actress Deborah Dutch, who convinced Ray to allow her to perform the stunt herself in a single take.

[10] In order to shop for a US distributor, Mind Twister was screened theatrically on February 27, 1993[11] at the annual American Film Market in Santa Monica.

[6] Online critic Dennis Schwartz gave the film a slightly more positive "C", appreciating its suspense and proclaiming it to be "worth seeing only for Telly Savalas fans" even with its "lame screenplay".
