Robert P @Superbad Sep 23, 2026 Body Double = a 4 star Movie! See more Hector I @Hector1184BC Aug 30, 2026 A very stylish, voyeuristic thriller with a fantastic blue Californian light and a wonderfully glossy 1980s atmosphere. The protagonist is both hero and voyeur, becoming obsessed with the woman he watches from across the street. The film constantly plays with Hitchcockian voyeurism, paranoia and shifting points of view, while mixing eroticism, horror, pornography and the decadent side of 1980s cinema. The plot becomes increasingly convoluted and sometimes strains credibility, but the visual style and obsessive structure are terrific. I still preferred Blow Out, but this was a very enjoyable De Palma. See more Dexter E @Dexter007 Aug 8, 2026 Body Double is a stylish and gripping thriller with strong suspense, memorable visuals, and an intriguing mystery at its core. The film keeps you guessing while delivering plenty of tension and drama. A compelling watch for anyone who enjoys classic psychological thrillers.

I've got to say that if this had been the first of his films I'd watched, I'd have been put off finding his best work. This is sub-par Hitchcock homage - throwing in both Rear Window and Vertigo - with a horrible score which becomes Bernard Hermann Psycho-lite towards the end. Terrible story and script, hammy performances, and an obvious twist that was sign posted from the first scene of the husband hitting the wife, viewed through the telescope. There are far too many plot holes to ignore without becoming irritated. It looks cheaply made and badly edited. It's also fairly boring and just too stupid. Avoid! See more jimmy B @VictorTalkingMachine May 1, 2026 The most interesting aspect of this plot is who murdered the body double, played by Deborah Shelton (Miss USA 1970/1st runner-up to Miss Universe). The guilty person literally drills down on her. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Mar 30, 2026 Wow. This was a pretty cool movie. One of De Palma's lesser known films, but worth it if you're a fan. I liked the concept and the music was sooooo good! See more Read all reviews
