Sisters - Tödliche Schwestern (2006)

Sisters

Als eine Journalistin und ein junger Arzt sich zu sehr für die Angelegenheiten eines berüchtigten Psychiaters und seiner attraktiven Assistentin interessieren, finden sie mehr heraus, als sie erwartet hatten. Denn der Weg zur Selbsterkenntnis endet manchmal im Wahnsinn – und im Tod. Die Journalistin Grace Collier ist entschlossen, die Geheimnisse von Dr. Lacan und seiner Zurvan Clinic – einem großzügigen Anwesen am Stadtrand, in dem schwer gestörte Kinder Behandlung und ein neues Zuhause finden – zu ergründen. Doch unter der scheinbar harmlosen Oberfläche der Klinik verbirgt sich etwas Finsteres – und mehrere der Patienten sind dort bereits unter mysteriösen Umständen gestorben. Benutzt Dr. Lacan die Kinder für seine Versuche?

Wissenswertes

Sisters is a 2006 American psychological horror film directed by Douglas Buck and starring Stephen Rea, Lou Doillon, and Chloë Sevigny, with Dallas Roberts and JR Bourne playing supporting characters. A remake of the 1972 Brian De Palma film of the same name, it follows a journalist who becomes embroiled in a criminal investigation after witnessing a woman's disturbed twin sister commit a violent murder.

Production

During a screening of New Rose Hotel at the 1998 Venice Film Festival, producer Edward R. Pressman announced his intention to remake Sisters. Pressman said of the project:

There’s obviously been a post-Scream reaction in Hollywood to the horror film. Scream regenerated the form commercially, and whenever a film does that well it tends to create a gold rush. That’s why we’re seeing all these Alfred Hitchcock remakes at the moment like A Perfect Murder, Rear Window and Psycho. So why not remake a Hitchcock knock-off. which was what SISTERS was always being called.

After Douglas Buck became attached as a co-writer and director, he commented on his approach to the material: "In the original film, which I love, De Palma chose style over substance. I'm interested in exploring all the other stuff that's there—the perversity, the tragedy, the sadness. All those character traits make it, to me, more interesting.

Principal photography took place over 23 days in the spring of 2006 in North Carolina as well as Vancouver, British Columbia on an estimated budget of $5,000,000. Shooting in Vancouver was reported to begin on March 13, 2006. Filming completed in Vancouver by May 1, 2006.
