Angie Dickinson NUDE! Then it gets a bit weird and boring and I start to go to sleep. Good in early venture to the world of erotic thriller. Michael Caine is just unbelievable!

I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago, I was really eager to check it out again. Basically, it was some kind of homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s work, and even though Hitchcock himself was apparently not impressed, I think the damned thing was actually pretty neat.

View all Dressed to Kill reviews
Brian De Palma ascended to the highest ranks of American suspense filmmaking with this virtuoso, explicit erotic thriller. At once tongue in cheek and scary as hell, Dressed to Kill revolves around the grisly murder of a woman in Manhattan and how her psychiatrist, her brainiac teenage son, and the prostitute who witnessed the crime try to piece together what happened while the killer remains at large. With its masterfully executed scenes of horror, voluptuous camera work, and passionate score, Dressed to Kill is a veritable symphony of terror, enhanced by vivid performances by Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine, and Nancy Allen.

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s a tense film, from beginning to end. The suspense, and the fact that you don’t know what’s coming from one moment, to the next. It’s a stylish and well made thriller. The performances, from Angie Dickinson and Michael Caine. The soundtrack, for Dressed to Kill. Cons: Some aspects of the film, namely the twist ending, haven’t aged all that well."
