Margot Kidder is Danielle, a beautiful model separated from her Siamese twin, Dominique. When a hotshot reporter (Jennifer Salt) suspects Dominique of a brutal murder, she becomes dangerously ensnared in the sisters' insidious sibling bond. A scary and stylish paean to female destructiveness, De Palma's first foray into horror voyeurism is a stunning amalgam of split-screen effects, bloody birthday cakes, and a chilling score by frequent Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann. Criterion is proud to present Sisters in a new Special Edition.

Hey mister you want to buy my.....? - 4.25 out of 5 (10/3/2000)
The phrase "in simpler times" seems to fit just about everything except for Brian DePalma. It's a rare occasion where I get to critique a director in the span of two weeks with two new releases. Having just sat through the abysmal "Mission To Mars", it's safe to say that I wasn't having that warm huggy feeling towards DePalma.
Then Criterion comes out with a grade B thriller called "Sisters." They take the movie and give it their usual jazzing up and the result is I want to be nice to the guy
