Sisters (1973) - Underrated De Palma Weirdness

Okay, I just finished watching "Sisters" (1973) and wow, De Palma was REALLY playing with split-screen even back then, huh? I mean, the giallo influences are obvious, but the way he used split-screen to build suspense is just *chef's kiss*. That opening scene, where Grace Collier sees the murder through the window, the way we see her reaction alongside what's happening in Danielle's apartment... genius. The sound design in that moment too, just perfectly ramps up the tension. Margot Kidder is fantastic as Danielle (and Dominique!). There's a vulnerability there, even when she's being totally unhinged. That scene in the mental hospital sequence is chilling. I'm a sucker for psychological horror and the whole 'Siamese twin' backstory, even if its a bit pulpy, adds a lot to the creep factor. Also, shoutout to Bernard Herrmann's score - it feels very Hitchcock-esque, which is no surprise given Herrmann's work on 'Psycho'. The ending, while maybe a bit over-the-top, is so satisfyingly messed up. It’s not perfect, but it definitely gets under your skin. Anyone else a fan of early De Palma here? One thing I noticed, maybe it's just the quality of the print I saw, but the color palette felt really muted in some scenes. I wonder if that was intentional or just degradation over time... Anyway, great flick - defintely earns its place in my 'classic horror' rotation.
