Dressed to Kill (1980)

Slant’s 100 Greatest Horror Films – 2018 Edition (100 movies items)

"An elegant fusion of giallo tropes, grindhouse transgression, and art-house cool, Dressed to Kill is a checklist of the auteurist trademarks that earn Brian De Palma constant comparisons to Alfred Hitchcock. Chock-full of Hitchcockian fetishes like doubles, blondes, and voyeurism, it plays like Psycho dialed up to 11 for a post-Hays Code audience—relentlessly violent and casually provocative.

" Watched October 11th Rating: I don't think I could give this a good rating simply for the very 80's point of view of transgender people and the unfortunate "man in a dress" villain concept. Even putting that aside, though, it was not especially gripping. The homage to Psycho was well and good, but the movie seemed to slump more and more as it went on. Angie Dickinson's character was the most interesting of the lot, several of the rest felt like spoof characters- maybe it simply doesn't age we"

"8.7. "Kaikkien aikojen täydellisimmin ohjattu elokuva" on varmaan härskeintä hevonpaskaa, mitä DVD:n kannen mainoslauseeksi voi kirjoittaa. Tuli ihan mieleen erään aikaisemmin käyttämäni leffasivuston "ohjaus oli hyvää" -kommentit.
