David D Could be one of the WORST movies ever! The premise, the acting, the directing, the gratuitous topless shot of Sharon Stone, the forced ending that made no sense, contibuted to the wasted 1:45 that will never be retrieved from the time that I reserve for movie watching. Do these comments suggest that this movie was awful? Hope so! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Steve D Really dumb despite the talent involved. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review justin t This was pretty dull and really not very good at all. The script is pretty terrible. The acting is boring. The violence almost non-existent and the whole concept is just plain dull. There is very little to save this bore-fest except for the tolerable acting and occasional interesting story moments. The twist at the end is unimaginative. The whole thing just slow and not worth watching, the sands of time should have kept this movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Frank De Felitta is all over the genre wavelength, directing the made for TV pseudo reality horror like The Stately Ghosts of England, bringing the slasher home with Dark Night of the Scarecrow and writing movies like Z.P.G., Audrey Rose and The Entity. Now, not to start this argument, but this movie seems like just as much a giallo as a slasher, as Sharon Stone's Angela Anderson is sexually repressed, has been attacked in an elevator, has used scissors to defend herself and is in love with. set of twins, one a soap opera star and the other a wheelchair-bound artist and both played by Steve Railsback. Dr. Stephan Carter (Ronnie Cox) believes that some event in her past with a red-bearded man named Billy. Well, she soon finds Billy dead in an apartment that has a caged raven that keeps yelling that she's a killer and exhibits throughout that tell the story of her life, so I'm now completely so sure that this is a giallo that I expect her to run through a room full of bats and then find dogs all strung up in a medical experiment before watching two women in paper dresses fight at a party. Would Ronnie Cox be married to Michelle Phillips? I guess in the world of this movie, sure. And who is to say what happens when someone starts dressing like Billy — who ends up in reality being the stepfather that Angela's mother killed — and taking the mental games to the highest of highs. This movie also has a total Guy Caballero moment — "The wheelchair is for respect!" — and taught me that yes, ravens have a repertoire of 100 or more vocalizations, allowing them to mimic human speech and singing. Is this movie even a slasher? I don't know. It's actually a mess, a film that asks you to believe that a 26-year-old Sharon Stone is a virginal innocent, that twin brothers both fall for her and someone is willing. to build an entire apartment devoted to her. It makes the first hour feel like forty years, which is a major accomplishment. Major people made this movie, which shocked me. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review ashley h Scissors is a disappointing film. It is a woman who is trying to recover from a sexual attack. Sharon Stone and Ronny Cox give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Frank De Felitta did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s Scissors does its best to be a Hitchcock-like thriller, but fails miserably in every respect. Directed by somebody by the name of Frank de Felitta, this mess seemingly and deservedly ended his career as a director. In an incredibly poor casting decision, Sharon Stone plays a sexually repressed (I mean…c'mon) woman who is assaulted in the elevator of her apartment. Rescued by a neighbor played by Steve Railsback (in a dual role, he also plays his wheelchair-bound twin, who serves no purpose in the story), she eventually winds up in a penthouse apartment across town where she finds the body of the man who assaulted her. From here, things get very convoluted. There are really no redeeming qualities to Scissors, other than a bunch of unintentional laughs and the fact that Sharon Stone is beautiful to look at.
