THURSDAY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, HOSTED BY CRITICS KEN HANKE & SCOTT DOUGLAS
Brian De Palma's Sisters will screen at 8pm Thursday (January 21, 2016) at The Carolina, movie theater six, in Asheville, North Carlina. The screening is free, as part of the weekly Thursday Horror Picture Show, which also featured De Palma's Body Double last April. Thursday's screening will be hosted by Mountain Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther."Sisters (1973) is by no means the first Brian De Palma film," states Hanke in his Mountain Xpress mini-review, "though it might fairly be called the first De Palma film as we know them. The theme is, in part, voyeurism — so we're right at home from the onset. The tone is set as much by Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960) as it is by Hitchcock, which is a pretty heady mix. The most surprising thing about the film, however, is not that it looks forward to future De Palma (he really lays on the split-screen), but that it has a distinct air of David-Cronenberg-to-come about it."
