A hooker and a geek join forces to end transphobia once and for all but they only make it worse.
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️May 12, 2018What if Psycho but way more perverted and problematic? Love it.

If you've been following along, you can probably guess what I hated about this. De Palma's style is great. He's got this slick, noirish feel that makes good use of shadow and reflection and odd angles to drive the intensity of any given scene, but almost right away, I…

Hari Nefi think we can all agree with what went wrong here but we can all agree that it looked fabulous!!! rewatching the met scene as we speak....

For better (and in some cases worse) De Palma takes Psycho into the realm of giallo; pushing it to its trashiest, most fetishistic possible extreme. Literally opens and closes on a perverse remix of the famous shower scene—one played as an explicit sexual fantasy, the other…

Samuel Gutierrez lovedDressed to Killfrom the very beginning when kate was in the scene it felt soooo tense. u wanted her to be okay soo bad and everything u learned something new that she forgot or finds out it’s gut wrenching. such great suspense, perfect intensity. then the plot twist.. chefs kiss. def a classic.
dvvillx lovedDressed to KillThe camera work was genius, loved the diopter shots and the score, acting was sharp too, caught the “Psycho” homage as I saw it recently. The erotic, thriller, plus the slasher mixture was well blended in together, I found this film to be a fun, refreshing concept.

A stylish, violent thriller about a sexually frustrated woman (Angie Dickinson), whose fantasies lead to a murder mystery. Directed by Brian De Palma (Carrie). Effective, but not for the kids. [1 Aug 1980, p.4-10]
Gene Siskel
Chicago Tribune
Stylish, intriguing, and very violent.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
A witty, romantic, psychological horror film and it's almost as rewarding as a successful analysis...The fun is not in logic but watching how Mr. De Palma successfully tops himself as he goes along, and the fun lasts from the sexy, comic opening sequence right through to the film's several endings.
