Sisters (Brian De Palma, 1973)

Sisters starts off promisingly. It's a damn fine film about Manhattan chauvinism. I didn't want it to swerve from the stories of Staten Island and police corruption. And I love the split-screen introduction of Jennifer Salt's reporter. But then the dopey twin-sisters horror kicks in, as it must, and I start to drift off. Quantum leaps better than the freakishly and bafflingly overrated The Fury, though.

Grade: B+
