Nick O This ultra-bizarre murder mystery and shameless Hitchcockian love letter is Brian De Palma's first foray in to the world of seedy thrillers. An arena where he would eventually go on to reign supreme. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review jacob c Sisters is a twisty and disquieting psychological horror film with great performances from its cast. It also marks an early triumph for director Brian De Palma. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Insomniac X Grimy psycho-sexual thriller is rough around the edges, but effective. Themes of twins and medical and psychiatric institutions foreshadow Cronenberg body horror features like "The Brood" and "Dead Ringers." Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Dave S Borrowing heavily from both Rear Window and Psycho, Brian De Palma proves one thing with Sisters…he’s no Hitchcock, not by a long shot. After witnessing a gruesome knifing (sound familiar?) through the window of an adjacent apartment (sound familiar?), journalist Grace Collier (Jennifer Salt) embarks on a mission to prove that her neighbor, Danielle Breton (Margot Kidder), is a ruthless murderer. The premise, while not terribly original, is decent enough, Kidder is solid in the lead role, and Bernard Herrmann’s (of Psycho fame) score is typically solid. However, things go downhill pretty quickly thanks to some bad performances, including that of Salt, lots of cringe-worthy dialogue, and a plot that feels like it spirals out of control at the midway point, turning what could have been a decent thriller into something laughable. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Director Brian de Palma directs a chilling tale of murder and sisterhood The late Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt could be playing sisters but they're anything but togetherly Grace is an investigative journalist who witnesses a murder of her neighbor Danielle Danielle is the prime suspect but the authorities have no evidence to support it Grace now has to solve the case herself by hiring a private investigator named Joseph But what she finds is way more than she bargained for This takes the 'Peeping Tom' approach and feels very trippy with the extreme close ups as well as the sound effects The twist is positively freaky too Kidder and Salt make for some good leads De Palma shows his craft plus much of the dark humor is funny despite its vileness You can predict a few things during the plots unfolding yet the slick performances manage to save it from falling under its own weight Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Alec B A wild and purely cinematic experience. The homages and split screens are all just tremendous. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
