"The Peppermint Twist" is an uplifting and life-affirming experience. At its core, it has the appearance of a very sweet Christmas film, wrapped in a wicked dark comedy. The movie features a phenomenal cast, including the iconic Dee Wallace as Auntie Noelle Noel, a role deserving of her immense and unique talents. There is also a clever wink of self-awareness, and an unexpectedly raw on-screen demonstration of her true gifts.  Because, as many of us know, "She's magic, baby!"
