Sisters is a 1972 horror-thriller film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt, and Charles Durning. The film opens with a game show called "Peeping Toms," where contestants watch a couple having sex in a nearby apartment and try to predict what happens next. One of the contestants, a young man named Phillip, becomes enamored with the woman in the apartment, Danielle, and after the show, he goes to her door and they strike up a conversation.

Meanwhile, Grace, a reporter who is also Phillip's ex-girlfriend, is convinced that something strange is going on in the apartment. She begins to investigate and uncovers a shocking discovery: Danielle has a twin sister named Dominique, and the two of them were separated at birth. Dominique is being kept hidden away in the apartment, and Phillip is completely unaware of her existence.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Danielle and Dominique have a dark past that they are trying to keep hidden. Grace is determined to uncover the truth, and she enlists the help of a private detective named Joseph Larch to assist her. Together, they uncover a twisted web of lies and deceit that has been carefully constructed by the sisters.

The film is notable for its use of split-screen and other cinematic techniques to create a sense of paranoia and unease. De Palma relies heavily on visuals and atmosphere to build tension, and the result is a film that is both stylish and suspenseful.

Margot Kidder delivers a memorable performance as the dual role of Danielle and Dominique, and Jennifer Salt is excellent as Grace. Charles Durning is also noteworthy in his role as Joseph Larch, bringing a sense of gravitas to the proceedings.

Overall, Sisters is a classic thriller that still holds up today. Its themes of identity and obsession are still relevant, and its inventive use of cinematic technique makes it a standout film of its time. Fans of horror and suspense films will not be disappointed by this classic piece of cinema.

Sisters is a 1973 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.9 and a MetaScore of 70.
