Blu B A Classic Horror Flick. The music is good but it can feel a bit cheesy and ripped out of a 50's B Movie and just feel out of place. Other than that, everything is really well done here. It's heavily influenced by Hitchcock and has the style of a Polanksi flick. The flashback in the end is done in such a creative black and white fever dream arthouse type way and really makes you feel like your in a nightmare. The plot gets a bit insane but is really sick and twisted too. While there is gore there isn't that much besides 1-2 kills. The horror mainly comes from the ideas and delivery which this does great at. Solid direction by DePalma who is still devloping his craft but is very creative at times. This has a lower budget Halloween feel to it. The plot requires a bit of suspense of disbelief but it's so sick and well done that's not a tall order. Also it does pull a Psycho and change main characters early on after a very quirky game show opening. The Reporter is good but not as interesting a character as Kidder or her lover. Kidder is really good and the best thing acting wise but she sort of diappears for a while. Those minor issues aside this is really well done and is something any fan of the director, any actors in this, horror especially psychlogical, and thriller/murder mystery fans should check out. I can see how DePalma would go on to do his masterpiece Carrie later on from this.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review 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.
