Comment

First feature-length film of long series of thrillers of Brian De Palma ( Fury , Impulses , Body Doubles ), Sœurs of blood is regarded as a homage of the realizer to Alfred Hitchcock. It evokes in particular its film Psychose , through the topic of the murder and split personality to the knife, Fenêtre on court and its Voyeurisme. The film is also marked by other cinematographic references such as for example the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (through the director of asylum) or Freaks, the monstrous parade .

One of the features of film is the use of the Split screen, presenting two images separated to the screen. The spectator can then follow in a simultaneous way two different points of view.
