Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Let's be realistic.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

After a young woman (Sharon Stone) is attacked in the elevator she meets her neighbors for the first time. One of them has a secret, the other has a crush on her. Her analyst tries to help her over the attack, but when she is invited to a mysterious apartment things get worse and worse.Not even Ronny Cox could save this film. While Cox is an incredible actor and an amazing presence, this film has a few too many annoying aspects and tends to run a bit long. Sure, there is some suspense, and you need time to build that suspense, but there is a line that divides suspense and boredom, and I think the director may have crossed that line.There are things to like about the film (besides Cox). The quirky characters, the menacing music... much of the architecture even makes of a good background. I do not happen to be a big fan of Sharon Stone (although Netflix seems to think so, because it has suggested her films more than once now). Some say this is among her best roles. Maybe, I do not know. A good editor good fix this one up nicely.

Sharon Stone is nearly raped in the elevator of her apartment building, but manages to escape, leading to conflict with twin brothers both played by Steve Railsback.I'm usually pretty lenient with movies, but Scissors is awful. I really, really didn't like this movie. Sharon Stone's performance is awful, just mind-bogglingly bad. Ronny Cox is just as bad, unusual for two pretty good actors.The direction is confusing. I never figured out what the movie was trying to convey, it just seemed to be several random encounters after the other. Editing is terrible. A nails-on-a-chalkboard soundtrack is the icing on this horrible cake.The sole bright spot is Steve Railsback, who turns in a good performance as the two brothers. He gets the 2 stars for this dreck.Avoid this like the plague. Bad, bad, bad.

This movie starts off slow, the main woman in the film is violently attacked in the elevator by a man with scissors, I think it was actually rape. She is taken in by twin brothers after the incident, the handicapped brother is very moody, while the older brother is helpful. Well, she gets an invitation to go to a strange apartment some place. When she was in, she find no one in the apartment, but when she tries to get out, the door knob falls out. Little things start going on, and every time she falls asleep, things happen, like doors open and stuff. Probably the best scene is when she finds her attacker from the elevator in the bed room with a scissor in his back, with a bird flying around, saying that she killed him. At the end, we find that she was placed in this apartment by her "trusted" psychologist, in an attempt to drive her mad. When the psychologist and his wife, or is it associate, enters the apartment, she has enough smarts to walk out and trap them in there. She walks outside and is picked up by the nice twin brother that she ran into earlier in the movie.The ending is satisfying, the pace is a little too slow, but it's generally a good movie in my opinion.

Warning Possible Spoiler! This movie was so bad I finally took the time to register just so I could complain about it. It looked dismally cheap and the only thing frightening was how sordid the Sharon Stone character was to watch. While Basic Instinct showed a smart, funny & ok violent exhibitionist, here the character was a mentally ill woman constantly being infantilized and shown with her legs spread & breasts falling out of her clothes. Add to that the completely absurd plot -- how does a semi-employed shizophrenic afford a deluxe apartment and a private psychiatrist? While the suspense was probably supposed to be which male character trapped her in an apartment, the only thing worth caring about was who was finally going to feed her poor cat.
