CREDITS

Director & Writer / Chris Osborn
Producer / Breanne Thomas

Starring Lindsay Burdge and Jade Lane 

 

 

“A familial sci-fi drama that surrounds its gruesome finale with moments of carefully constructed empathy, [Sisters] is a study in abstract horror and potential mental illness. Osborn’s use of parallel editing, particularly in a sequence that alternates between a downstairs kitchen and an upstairs bathroom, earns its high-strung pathos.”

— Erik Luers, Filmmaker Magazine

 

“The performances—Jade Lane as a weary single mom who’s unsure whether to believe her unpredictable sister; Lindsay Burdge as a fragile soul who’s convinced that E.T. has it in for her—are excellent, and the ambiguous story offers a clever way to examine a family that’s been fractured by forces (alien or otherwise) beyond its control.”
