Product Description

Product Description

WHAT THE DEVIL HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN CUT ASUNDER!

Before 1973, Brian De Palma was impossible to pigeonhole: he made comedies, political satires and openly experimental pieces. But with Sisters (originally released as Blood Sisters in the UK) he turned to the suspense thriller and discovered his natural home - and a style that would lead directly to later masterpieces like (Carrie, Dressed to Kill and (Blow Out.

When Danielle (Margot Kidder) meets potential boyfriend Philip (Lisle Wilson) after appearing on the TV show Peeping Toms (a nod to the Michael Powell shocker), she invites him home, only to attract the ire of her twin sister Dominique. From across the courtyard, Rear Window style, reporter Grace (Jennifer Salt) witnesses Philip being murdered by one of the twins - but the police find no body or any physical evidence. Naturally, Grace takes things into her own hands, and discovers more about the sisters relationship than she bargained for...

Strongly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski, and with a score by the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Psycho), Sisters was the first true Brian De Palma film.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent
By Scot on 21 Sept. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Fantastic film, yes it is influenced by Hitchcock which is a common theme in De Palma flicks but people also seem to have not mentioned the Polanski influence of Repulsion.Despite this it does have a life of its own and is a very good thriller/horror. Lots of memorable and well directed scenes. Last part of the film is very surreal. I also found that there was great humor in certain scenes. The acting is first rate here particularly of William Finley. A masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 starsDe Palma's classic comes to UK Blu Ray
By Dallison on 23 April 2014
Format: DVD
Sisters (1973) - Arrow's UK Blu Ray Reviewed by Darren Allison
CONTAINS SPOILERS - "The Next Alfred Hitchcock" was how director Brian De Palma was being celebrated by some back in 1973. It was largely in praise of his latest film, the thriller `Sisters'. There is little doubt that Sisters is not only homage to Hitchcock's Psycho, but also a huge nod towards Hitchcock's entire body of work. As the saying goes - `You only borrow from the best' and of course, it was no secret that De Palma was a huge admirer of Hitchcock's work.
`Sisters' was inspired by a Life Magazine article read by De Palma, about the Russian Siamese twins Masha and Dasha. The film begins with a model named Danielle (played by Margot Kidder), who appears on the local TV game show, Peeping Toms (the film's first example of its voyeuristic theme). Danielle goes out to dinner with the winning contestant, Phillip Wood. Her strange ex-husband Emile (De Palma regular William Finley) follows Danielle to the restaurant and finally creates a scene. Phillip takes Danielle back to her home in Staten Island. Emile keeps watch outside their apartment, as Danielle and Phillip spend the night together.
The next morning, Phillip is brutally killed (with a large Psycho style knife and in graphic detail) after overhearing Danielle speak to her sister, Dominique. The murder is seen by reporter Grace Collier (Jennifer Salt), from her own apartment (not unlike Hitchcock's Rear Window). The police are not entirely enamelled with Grace or her homicide story, perhaps because she had recently wrote a damming story on the Police Force. In true Hitchcock style, Grace takes it upon herself to investigate and is drawn into a bizarre story of Siamese siblings, a mysterious mental institute, and identifying the truth behind Dominique and Danielle.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat movie. Beautiful release
By Alexander J. C. Turner on 13 Aug. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
Great movie. Beautiful release. I saw this film at the cinema many years ago and this copy looks sharper than it looked then. The story holds up well right to the end. I'd forgotten how it ended which made it feel as if I was watching a fresh new thriller for much of the running time. Herrmann's score catapault's you into a queasily thrilling world from the very opening. Worth watching and owning.

4.0 out of 5 starsYou can choose your friends...
By Faustus on 2 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
De Palma channelled his inner-Hitchcock for a tale of voyeuristic dangers and misdirection heavily inspired by Rope (1948) and Rear Window (1954). He builds suspense with the same visual language elements that Hitch perfected, such as using figurative precursors to upcoming key events and granting viewers a godlike view of a situation while simultaneously keeping them at a precise distance from the real truth.
He further enhances the narrative by using a split screen technique not just to add a cool visual effect but to highlight subtext, ensuring the role we play as audience is an active, analytical one.

4.0 out of 5 starsSisters are doing it for themselves...
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 29 Mar. 2015
Format: Amazon Video
Sisters is directed by Brain De Palma who also co-writes the screenplay with Louisa Rose. It stars Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt, Charles Durning, Lisle Wilson and William Finley. Music is by Bernard Herrmann and cinematography by Gregory Sandor.

When newspaper reporter Grace Collier (Salt) observes what she perceives to be a murder in the apartment across the street from her own, it proves to be the catalyst for a trip down a dark psychologically damaged street.

To be honest here, the continuous complaints about De Palma being a Hitchcock clone got boring around about the mid eighties. As Hitch is my personal favourite director it has never bothered me one bit that he homaged and borrowed from the great man's cannon, in fact I have always found that when on form it was great to have someone like De Palma to keep the suspense thriller genre going. It's not as if he's the only one who owes his career to director's from the past really is it?

Sisters is a wonderfully trippy suspenser, where De Palma lifts from some great Hitchcock motifs to portray a clinically edgy story based around an article he read about Siamese twins Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyapova. Infused with technical flourishes such as split screens, POV filming and close quarter framing, the director is donating his own blood for the veins of the piece. Suspense is rarely far away, be it characters in some sort of danger, or the possible discovery of a body, there is no pause for pointless filler fodder. While twists and revelations engage the brain instead of insulting it, something many of today's horror/thriller directors could learn to "homage" from actually, and a nightmare section of film literally unfurled out of the minds eye is top draw.Read more ›
