A year before Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone delivered one of her most unusual performances in this cult curio of early-’90s pulp cinema. After a violent elevator encounter, the sexually repressed Angela Anderson (Stone) is lured to a mysterious high-rise loft—only to find herself framed for murder. Her attacker lies dead on the bed, a raven screams accusations, and the rooms are filled with warped mementos from her psyche. Based on a story by legendary casting director Joyce Selznick—developed nearly a decade after her death—Scissors gradually sheds its thriller skin to become something altogether stranger: a dream-logic chamber piece of dolls, doubles, and mental breakage.
