Sisters is a 1973 independent film directed by Brian de Palma. It is a psychological thriller starring Margot Kidder as a French-Canadian model who is shadowed by her psychotic former Siamese twin.
De Palma was inspired by reading an article about the Soviet Siamese twins Masha and Dasha.[1] The film is heavily influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, and de Palma even persuaded Hitchcock's semi-retired composer, Bernard Herrmann, to write the score.[2] The film also uses unusual point of view shots and split screen effects to show two events happening similtaneously.
