Sisters (1972) ***1/2
I place Sisters (1972) in the lower half of my Brian De Palma rankings, but even as he was finding his footing, honing his Hitchcock homages, and perfecting his techniques (including those famous split screens), he was able to craft a very rewatchable, creepy, funny, and exploitative thriller. Margot Kidder goes for the gusto in a suitably psychotic performance and Bernard Herrmann delivers an intense, Moog-driven score.
If you'd like to hear me discuss Sisters, along with two other De Palma films (my first time on a podcast!), with Movie Matters Podcast hosts Michael Mackenzie and Lee Howard in a special episode from 2011, you can do so here.
