A fledgling Staten Island journalist witnesses a brutal murder in the neighboring apartment of a French-Canadian model, but the police do not believe that the crime took place. With the help of a private detective, she seeks out the truth.

Danielle, a beautiful model, has been separated from her Siamese twin, Dominique. When a hotshot reporter suspects Dominique of a brutal murder, she becomes dangerously ensnared in the sisters’ insidious sibling bond.
A scary and stylish dissection of female crisis, Brian De Palma’s first foray into horror voyeurism is a stunning amalgam of split-screen effects, bloody birthday cakes, and a chilling score by frequent Alfred Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann.

“A perfectly orchestrated exercise in style, a staging of some of the finest suspense sequences since Alfred Hitchcock was above ground.” – The Film Stage

“A terrifically smart piece of craftsmanship that keeps slithering out of your grasp; a compulsively addictive viewing experience.” – Antagony & Ecstasy

“Brian De Palma at his vicious, malicious best.” – Q Network
