Sisters opens across the U.S. in 1973. The horror thriller written and directed by Brian De Palma is his first homage to Alfred Hitchcock and features Margot Kidder as twins. The score is composed by frequent Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann. Critically lauded on its release, it has remained a cult favorite.
