The film Sisters comes from director Brian De Palma, who also collaborated on the script with Louisa Rose. The cast includes Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt, Charles Durning, Lisle Wilson and William Finley; Bernard Herrmann composed the music, and Gregory Sandor handled the cinematography. When newspaper reporter Grace Collier (Salt) witnesses what appears to be a murder from her apartment window, it sets off a descent into a disturbing psychological landscape. Frankly, the constant criticism of De Palma being an imitator of Hitchcock grew tiresome years ago. As someone who appreciates Hitchcock's work immensely, I’ve never found his tributes and borrowings problematic; in fact, I've always enjoyed having a filmmaker like him to keep the suspense thriller genre alive. It isn't as if he is alone in owing his career to directors from the past, really. Sisters is an exceptionally strange and suspenseful film, where De Palma draws inspiration from classic Hitchcock elements to tell a disturbing story rooted in an article about Siamese twins Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyapova. The director uses techniques like split screens, point-of-view shots, and tight framing, giving the movie a visceral feel. Suspense is consistently present, whether characters are threatened or a body might be uncovered; there's little unnecessary padding. Clever twists and reveals challenge the viewer rather than insulting them—something many contemporary horror/thriller directors could learn from—and a dream sequence is particularly impressive. Bernard Herrmann was persuaded to come out of retirement to score the film, as the story’s genre and themes were well-suited for his talents. The music largely echoes his previous work with Hitchcock, incorporating sections from Jason and the Argonauts and Mysterious Island, but it's reworked to create a uniquely unsettling atmosphere. Kidder and Salt perform admirably in challenging roles, and Finley is appropriately unnerving. Durning’s role feels somewhat underutilized, though that’s a minor issue regarding the acting. There are a few plot inconsistencies and one event that seems illogical, but overall this is an excellent De Palma thriller and a good introduction to his style. And yes! It's perfectly fine with me if someone chooses to pay tribute to a director of the past. 8/10
