I love the museum sequence. Some of De Palma’s finest work.
DePalma at his best. Good story, great acting and thrills. Great twist on the story. A little slow at times stops it from being great.
This is a very good suspense thriller. De Palma really excelled in this genre and there are several sequences that were put together well.
A really good Erotic thriller for Brian DePalma. However by 2022 standards it is very transphobic
Good direction and a good variation on themes from Psycho, but De Palma seems to be reusing some horror gimmicks better utilised in Carrie.
A De Palma physiological thriller. Good movie a classic
A thrillingly twisted erotic 80s flick that is directed masterfully by DePalma
Is was too smutty for me, but it has some interesting plot twists. Of course, Michael Caine is always great.
Fantastic semi-remake of a classic (different name, won’t spoil it) that shows of De Palma’s skills as a director
A bit slow but once it gets going it GOES. The twists are beautifully evocative and the ending is perfectly dark. Great acting and direction
