SISTERS

SISTERS... WAS MADE ONCE, FOR A GOOD REASON
(bigger picture doesn't mean better one)

In 1973 Brian De Palma released the original Sisters, staring Margot Kidding. Some movies never could be re-made. Some movies should never be re-made. This is one of them. Slowly we are introduced to our characters. Grace (Chloe Sevigny) is an investigative reporter working on an expose about Doctor Philip Lacan (Steven Rea) as she is sure he is mistreating his patients. Newcomer, Lou Doillon, is the mysterious woman, Angelique Tristiana, who draws Grace in deeper than she ever thought possible. It was hard to stay awake for the first part of this film. The second half quickly provided motive and action and even felt like a totally different picture. However, both parts sucked majorly. The gore and the script seemed terribly forced and the actors involved, followed soon after. This isn't a horror movie, despite the blood, it isn't a suspenseful film because you can guess the ending. Existentially speaking, this film just wasn't.

NOT a pick: Stay home and rock in the fetal position and then rent almost anything else.
