Body Double

1984, Movie, 1h 54min

Brian DePalma weaves a sleekly stylish tale of seduction, mystery, and murder in the Hitchcock tradition. Jake Scully (Craig Wasson), an unemployed actor, is asked to house-sit a luxurious apartment in the Hollywood Hills. As a bonus, the home offers Jake a telescopic peek into the bedroom of Gloria Revelle (Deborah Shelton), who performs a tantalizing striptease every night. When Jake discovers that another man is also spying on Gloria, his interest flares into obsession. Soon a grisly murder leads him into the world of X-rated film, where porn queen Holly Body (Melanie Griffith) may hold the key to the crime.

...a fine example of De Palma's lush overkill style and certainly has a redeeming thread of silly sick humour.

De Palma gjorde underbara ”covers” på Hitchcocks mästerverk med ett uns av italiensk ”giallo”. Antingen avfärdar man det som kitschiga kopior eller gör som jag, älskar det för att han vågar och hyllar filmhistorien!
