Incoherent porn wastes an OK premise
17 August 2010 | by lor_ –
Slopped together quite carelessly, TWO SISTERS misses the opportunity to explore an interesting relationship between the title characters. It emerges as filler, duly issued as one half of the desultory double bill on Something Weird's Vol. 39 of its Dragon Art Theatre series.
Though IMDb classifies it as a 1974 film based on someone submitting a 1974 L.A. release date, the film is definitely of 1971 vintage. Not only does a closeup of a New Hampshire license plate in the first scene display the 1971 date, but a theatre marquee playing Dennis Hopper's THE LAST MOVIE proves it was 1971, since that film was shelved by Universal after only brief 1971 play dates.
Odd premise has Debbie linked to her younger sister Mary almost telepathically, in a way usually associated with twins. When Debbie feels something, her sister (even in a remote location) feels the same emotion, which in this case of course has to do with sex, it being Porn Territory. Their mother Agnes explains that this is a one-way street; Debbie does not feel what Mary is feeling in the reverse direction.
Mom is aware of this problem when she sees Mary masturbating one night, clearly under the influence of sis Debbie getting laid simultaneously out on a heavy date.
Given this unusual and convoluted starting point, one would expect something different here, but alas, film quickly devolves into all-sex porn after dangling the plot gimmick in front of a story-starved audience. Something briefly ventured, but nothing gained...
