Sisters is an early Brian De Palma thriller that anticipates where he would go with much of his career. It grabs a variety of the genre conventions from various Hitchcock films (Psycho and Rear Windows being a couple of the more obvious examples), and then twists them just enough to make it his own. Most of this movie did work for me, but the film would have been greatly helped out with a few stars in the key roles (especially the Grace Collier role). Obviously at this point in his career that wasn't even an option. Check this out to see where the maker of classics like Dressed to Kill, Scarface and Blow Out got his true style rolling.
