Episode 051 - Sisters

Sisters.jpg

No, not the 2015 Sisters with Tina Fey...the 1973 Sisters with Margot Kidder! Even as a clear homage to the work of Alfred Hitchcock (complete with Bernard Herrmann score), Brian DePalma puts his own stamp on it as only DePalma can.

Episode 051 - Sisters

No, not the 2015 Sisters with Tina Fey…the 1973 Sisters with Margot Kidder!
Even as a clear homage to the work of Alfred Hitchcock (complete with Bernard Herrmann score), Brian DePalma puts his own stamp on it as only DePalma can. With a winding plot and psychedelic third act, Sisters earned a “rent” from both Ryan and Tim, in spite of Ryan needing a little help clarifying the nuances of the story at times. Regardless, it touches on one of our favorite, recurring fear-points in horror: the uncertainty of our own reality.
