Dressed to Kill

I saw this film for the first time last year. And let me tell you, I had nightmares for a month! Michael Caine is as fantastic as usual and Miss Angie Dickinson is at her most gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Give this movie a watch, but leave the lights on. :)

Brian De Palma was an ardent Hitchcock fan. Many of his movies are attempts to duplicate Hitch's mastery of suspense. He uses the freedom that came with the advancing tolerance of violence that Hitchcock did not have. Hitchcock was able to create suspense and the illusion of violence within the constraints of the UK and Hollywood. However, Di Palma does know how to direct a thriller and this is one of his best. It is a good thriller and I remember that when I saw it in the theater, it held my suspense to the end (even if it was to see if I had correctly predicted the ending). A worthwile movie in it's own right and a juxtaposition of the acolyte to the master.

This movie was very suspenseful and for the time period in which it was made it was not at all predictable (IMO). I prefer this type of suspense instead of the kind that prevails now. I'm not really into animation and there is not too much that hasn't been done. The Blair Witch Project would probably be considered boring by todays standards too. you just have to watch in within the context of time.

ummm lets just say at the end of the movie i hope
everyone dies....cause i couldnt even make it through it all

Predictable and slow. Not one of MC's best. Meh.
