kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** When Angie Anderson, Sharon Stone, was attacked in the elevator of her apartment building by this red bearded and scuzzy looking man all her fears of men as well as her childhood started to resurface with shocking clarity. It was in fact the pretty and very attractive Angie's first experience with a man sexuality that screwed up her head in her not having any normal relationships, sexual or otherwise, with members of the opposite sex. It's Alex Morgan, Steve Railsbeck, Angie's next door neighbor who took the time to help her out in this crisis that had Angie eventually fall in love with him. This had Alex's live-in twin and wheelchair bound brother Cole, also played by Steve Railsbeck, develop a deep resentment of Alex since he was having his eye as a peeping Tom on Angie since she moved into her apartment.It's when Angie sought help from her psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Carter, Ronnie Cox, that by trying to help her overcome her phobias about men as well as her recent attempted rape experience he brought out things about her past, or childhood, that started taking over her life in her for so long suppressing them. This lead Angie to slowly lose control and becoming paranoid in both her private as well as public life. This paranoia lead her, after getting an invite, to the Bailey Building where she sought, I would assume, to get a job there as Mr. Bailey's private secretary. It's there that Angie found herself locked in with what seemed like real-estate developer Mr. Bailey found stabbed to death, with a scissor, lying in the bedroom! With his pet black bird Jimmy accusing Angie, over and over, that she's the one who killed him!. ****SPOILERS*** Almost the entire second half of the movie has to do with Angie locked in the Bailey Building with Alex desperately trying to save her. It's then that Alex's twin brother, the evil twin, Cole shows his true colors as well as his ability to walk,It's a Miracle! It's a Miracle! he screams, and clobbers him and leave him unconscious as he then joyfully takes off to celebrate his getting even with his twin brother to the nearest ginmill in order to get himself smashed. That in his twin brother Alex ending up getting the better things in life, like Angie, compared to failed artist Cole getting the sh*t end of the stick. It's at the very end of the movie with Angie by now almost completely insane that the truth comes out to who's behind this plan in driving her off her rocker. And it didn't have anything to do with her at all but the real-estate developer Mr. Bailey. And he, Bailey's killer, had a big surprise coming himself when he tried to pin Bailey's murder on Angie that ended blowing up in his face!

pnay75-1 I first saw "Scissors" some ten years ago, and I had kept some memories of it when I saw it again on tv. It fulfilled my expectations, as I remembered it as rather interesting, though somewhat far-fetched.Several reviewers have wondered about the necessity of showing Sharon Stone's beautiful bare breasts. I think it signifies that, though she reacts frigidly to men's advances, her sexuality is nevertheless present and no longer repressed when she is alone. Most writers rightly stress the excellency of the impersonation of Sharon Stone, on her (delayed)way to stardom. However I should like to point out that Steve Railsback, a very underrated actor, is quite remarkable too in the dual role of the neighboring twins. I think the film is worth a 8.

NaTaLyA_OzZy It wasn't the greatest movie... infact it was downright BIZARRE! The first hour I hated it, the second hour I was hooked. The special effects are amazing. There isn't many, but there is an actor who plays two roles (as identical twins) and there are two scenes where the brothers are attacking eachother, man, it looks real! Better then other "twin stuff" you see in other movies or tv. Even friends which was 10 years after this movie didn't do their twin scenes with Pheobe and Ursula half as good. Anywho, it was pretty freaky, although I think they could have done a little more to make it worse!!! And there is a scene where Sharon Stone is nude... for no reason. That was kinda dumb. Watch this movie for something different... WAY different. I don't think this has been done before! Out of 10 I say 6.5 for taking a long time to get into the film!

bamptonj The atmosphere created in SCISSORS is quite intense, despite it's tele-movie leanings. It definitely seems an overlooked horror-thriller that leaves images lingering in mind, literally for years.If you liked "The Look-alike" I am sure you'll love this even more!
