DePalma remakes "Sisters" as a semi-coherent comedy - including the split-screen effects. Mildly enjoyable but less good than the original.

🚿 The style is most of the movie here, with gliding camera work, some split screens, a Mancini-like score, and serious shock. Downer: they used a body double for Angie Dickinson, a Penthouse model. The Gen X will be mystified to see…

Although it is impossible to keep a 1980 film feeling altogether modern, this thriler's story and drama hold up. I can understand why this was such a significant success. Keeps you guessing and even has a great fake-out that is completely…

The library record showed that I had rated this film 3.5/5 stars but can't find my comment. So time to watch it again... and not just because of the opening steamy shower scene, the unrated version, which is edited with a body double.…

Classic De Palma -- hypnotically beautiful film making combined with mildly absurd story points, overdrawn characters and some equally overlarge performances. I can never figure out if De Palma's movies are campier than they are brilliant,…

If you can last longer than the half-hour or so that I did at watching this over-budgeted, overly stylish B-movie "thriller", you're a better a person than I. American mainstream movies were at an all-time low, generally, in the last…

. Badly dated and horribly written (both plot and dialog), this is an example of the kind of crap that passed for entertainment circa 1980. And I won't even go into the utter nonsense of the psychiatry vs gender stuff. . Somehow a…

To watch Dressed to Kill is to watch art in motion. The photography is beautiful, as well as Pino Donaggio's soundtrack. The documentary about the making of the film is also well worth watching. The director talks about how the critics and…

*Vogue Magazine says* - "It's the Latest Fashion in Murder!" (In a psycho-nutshell) - Dressed To Kill's story is all about a cross-dressing kook who kills for thrills..... Well, I guess there's a little bit more to its plot-line than…

Released in 1980 - Dressed To Kill (directed by Brian De Palma) is a stylishly gruesome horror story about sexual frustration, madness, and the insatiable blood-lust of a truly pug-ugly, homicidal transvestite. So, I ask you - How does…

A demented Brian De Palma classic thriller with plenty of twists and turns ( the plot and the camera ).

A jewel by Brian De Palma, king of the explicit thriller. A riveting story, including one of the more interesting museum scenes ever, surrounds itself with a "passionate score" as is advertised on the DVD. A Criterion film, the extras…

Incredibly dated thriller full of soft focuses, stilted slow-mos , eye roll inducing dialogue right out of a softcore porno and badly dated attitudes abut sexual and mental health issues.
