DRESSED TO KILL-BLU RAY DISCUSSION THREAD

Dressed to Kill Blu-ray

THE LATEST FASHION IN MURDER

After sexually frustrated housewife Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) has a session with her psychiatrist Dr Elliott (Michael Caine), she silently seduces a man in an art gallery, an assignation that ends in murder and the only witness, high-class prostitute Liz Blake (Nancy Allen) being stalked by the killer in turn.

One of Brian De Palma's darkest and most controversial suspense thrillers, Dressed to Kill was as acclaimed for its stylish set-pieces and lush Pino Donaggio score as it was condemned for its sexual explicitness and blatant borrowings from Alfred Hitchcock in general and Psycho in particular.

But the glee with which De Palma turns this material inside out is completely infectious, as he delves deep inside the troubled psyches of his characters (critic Pauline Kael said that the film was "permeated with the distilled essence of impure thoughts") in order to undermine expectations at every turn.

If I recall correctly, the framing on the US Blu-ray is off, so it will be interesting to see how this one turns out. Hopefully it won't be 6 seconds short as well

Nathanael Marsh did this one, and Deranged, which are both my favourites of the lot. He also did the FrightFest Originals Zombie Flesh Eaters. I hope they get him to do more, I love the covers.
