Murder scene from "Sisters"

From the Brian De Palma Classic Also when the vid hits 2:00, It reminds me of Dario Argento's beginning in "Deep Red" , where the knife is thrown...

Great scene..REALLY a fearsome creepy movie and Margot kidder never looked better; the movie score is also an absolute winner, on my personal list w/ TERROR AT THE OPERA by Argento. Nice work.

Bernard Herrman's music score for this film is AWESOME! I know a million of my fellow film nerds are going to want to castrate me for saying it but in my opinion, his music score in "Sisters" is better than his music score for the movie "Psycho". Dont get me wrong, the "Psycho" music score is a masterpiece, but the music score for "Sisters" has more imediate power over the senses. It's sheer sound strikes through me like bolt of lightning.

yeah but I still think "Psycho" is his best!

This is one of Brian De Palmas greatest films...it is also a personal favourite of mine.

Thanks for the upload.

My uncle took me to see this when I was 9 or so. Fucked me up for life.

Why did they use "hooker red" nail polish for blood back then?

I, too, watched this on IFC.

Btw, this murder scene is CREEPY, and it didn't need to explicitly show the knife penetrating the guy. Hmmm...

[VNVNation2006]

This movie is only available on HuluPlus. Bastards.

@themirrorsofmymind I also thought so. The description witnessed from the window also.

Silly Negro! lol Relax, people, as I'm black or as TODAY's society would so otherwise "label" me: AFRO-American. LOL Still, he really WAS a silly negro, giving a STRANGE white girl a knife with the handle on HER side. :P

Bernard Herrmann was SICK!!! (that's awesome BTW). This score is so F*CKING crazy. He threw in some of his ideas from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and of course, PSYCHO. Although I love this score, I still prefer the dark PSYCHO better. But then, is there REALLY such a thing as a 'bad' BH score? HARDLY!!

@mikedrummonds - not only do I agree about the score, but I think "Sisters" is a much better film than "Psycho" too. I think of it as one of those films that is held almost too sacredly by film buffs, as if its the pinaccle of cinematic horror and cant be topped. Hitchcock himself topped it a few years later with "The Birds", which is his true horror masterpiece. There were times that DePalma created a better Hitchcock film than Hitchcock did, and "Sisters" was one of them.
