Sisters (1972) - I wasn't super in the mood for this, but I clicked on it anyway. It feels superficially kind of grindhouse-ey but with a lot more thought put into the plot and less focus on the blood and gore. Imagine if "Don't Go in the Basement" was directed by very young David Fincher or something.

A guy appears on a goofy local game show in NYC and ends up going home with one of the other guests. Unfortunately for him, she has an insane twin sister. His troubles escalate with the introduction of her mad scientist looking ex husband who shows up and a complicated back history of the twins emerges. blah blah blah

It certainly could have used more nudity and gore, but director Brian De Palma does what he can. I liked this about as much Blow Out but not half as much as Body Double. I'm trying to come up with something writerly to describe my relative disappointment, but it just kind of needed to be more rated R. It bears some similarity to Warlock Moon which I saw the other day, but I liked that more for some reason, even though it was technically less accomplished.

4/5

^ You're right. I've never replaced my LP.  If you don't know it, Hunky Dory is the one to listen too.
