Body Double (1984)
Brian De Palma's highly voyeuristic and sleazy take on Hitchcock's Rear Window with flashes of Vertigo in which B-movie horror actor Craig Wasson spies on Deborah Shelton sexily undressing in her Hollywood hills home not knowing that it will lead to him witnessing murder.
There's a drill murder which makes Body Double feel like a slasher film and enough kinky sex for it to appear almost pornographic (Although it really isn't) in what is a deliciously tense twisty turny thriller of the highest standards.
