Sinopsis(1)
Dos hermanas gemelas, Danielle y Dominique, tienen caracteres muy opuestos: una es normal, pero la otra está tan perturbada que resulta altamente peligrosa. El azar de la naturaleza quiso que estas dos hermanas gemelas siamesas vivieran con sus cuerpos unidos varios años, concretamente hasta la adolescencia. La ciencia, gracias a una complicada intervención quirúrgica, las separará. Mientras la una es una persona amable y dulce, la otra es todo lo contrario: lunática y demente. El problema es que nunca sabes a quién tienes delante. (Harpo Entertainment)

Top of the line among twisted and bizarre films. Even if this early De Palma thriller is far from being full of all the formal trappings that characterize his later work, you can already notice some hints that he will perfect in his later films. I am hardly familiar with Hitchcock's work so far, so I have nothing to compare to or criticize. It reminded me a bit of Cronenberg in terms of observing human nature and various unnatural aspects, though of course De Palma doesn't go to such extremes as that Canadian pervert. A decently plotted, acted, formally original thriller bordering on horror (though really only in some passages), which will probably please De Palma's fans and viewers who adore unusual and slightly offbeat work. I liked it, and if you please, I'm not a weirdo. :)

Sisters is a great example of how Brian De Palma had what it took to really make a mark in horror, as he further demonstrated with the film Carrie. His screenplay isn't flawless, and if you've seen a fair share of films, I think you'll see through it pretty easily, but still, it's well-structured. Overall, it's a very well-done piece of work that paid off. Even after years, the film's atmosphere hasn't diminished much.
