Sisters (1973)

Excellent early De Palma entry that unmistakingly draws from several Hitchcock inspirations, ranging from score to stylistic devices. Margot Kidder offers a commanding performance as the mentally distraut Danielle, and De Palma introduces unique visual tools like split screen and binocular vision to prove his skills dont stop at cheap immitation. A journalist tracks one of two twin sisters after witnessing a murder from her apartment, only to become wrapped in their twisted psychosis. Highly recommended, especially for Hitchcock fans.

Rating: 9/10.
