Twisted Nerve is a 1968 British psychological thriller film about a disturbed young man, Martin, who pretends, under the name of Georgie, to be mentally retarded in order to be near Susan, a girl he has become infatuated with. In covering his tracks he kills his stepfather and Susan's mother.
Despite its "difficult" subject matter, the film is still evidently a popular and highly-regarded one- hence not only its aforementioned referencing by Tarantino, but also The Damned naming a song after it on their 'Black Album' as far back as 1982, and that popularity was finally vindicated in 2008 when Optimum released it on DVD.
