Based on the same notorious case that inspired Genet's
The Maids, this well-acted psychodrama concerns an obsessively close relationship between two sisters (Joely Richardson and Jodhi May) that leads to incest, insanity, and a singularly brutal murder. Intermittently gripping and often
unintentionally campy, it won't displace FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! as our favorite lesbian psycho killer flick. Based on Wendy Kesselman's stage play
My Sister in the House.
