We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! is a 2014 German-US documentary directed by Andrew Horn about the early years of heavy metal band Twisted Sister.

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.

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.

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

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