enough to portend the downfall of civilization... a guilty pleasure

Is Body Double Brian De Palma's most underrated film or merely a guilty pleasure on my part? Naturally, I make the case for the former.

...De Palma's expectedly grandiose directorial choices go a long way towards keeping things interesting...

Another sexed-up Hitchcockian thriller from Brian De Palma. Plays much better today than it did in 1984.

Emblematizes De Palma's refusal to take Hollywood seriously.

...ugly, unedifying exploitation cinema.

Sleaze dominates the thin plot and absurd story line.

Body Double, while not his finest, is the best candidate as Brian De Palma's signature film.
November 01, 2006
It's a mystery, a romance, a horror flick, and a straight-faced parody all rolled into one unique little movie.

Kinda stupid, really.

Classic De Palma. Stylish and Sexy.
