“Blow Out is one of those influential films in the horror genre that rarely anyone had heard of. People should know what Blow Out is and to me, it’s one of the few good American giallo films ever made.

This film has been referenced, parodied and even influenced by both pop culture in general and future horror films” read more

“De Palma pours the sum total of his talents into what is now viewed by many to be his magnum opus, "Blow Out".

Watched in 2017 (272 movies items)"26.8. De Palman elokuvissa on kiinnostavaa teknistä toteutusta, josta innostuu oikein kunnolla. Lähikuvat 80-luvun animaatiokameroista ja niiden vipstaakeista ja vempeleistä ovat aivan mahtavaa tavaraa, mutta John Travolta pönöttämässä juoneltaan mitäänsanomattomassa murhamysteerissä taas sieltä keskinkertaisuuden loputtomasta suosta."
