Customer Reviews of Body Double
DePalma Ain't Hitchcock.... ...but was every one of Hitchcock's film considered great when they first came out? No. Critics started giving him more props in retrospect.
And such is the case with DePalma's crazysexybloody suspense thriller "Body Double". It is much, much better than originally thought. You have got to give it to the man for the sheer audacity of not sparing us from a thing in the graphic drill scene, but, hey, like the peeping tom Wasson, we wanted some kinda payoff of all this voyeurism...I mean, that's what the average movie viewer wants also. It gets kinda surrealistic thinking about all this who's watching who, but the upshot is--did DePalma set us up, big time! Ain't that what we want from movies, anyhoo?
Also, he set us up with several other scenes, such as with the bloody ending credits and the gravesite scene. I also think DePalma kinda thought it was 'in-jokey' to have Melanie Griffith cast in one of his most blatantly Hitchcockian (this and "Dressed to Kill", are the two) thrillers.
You are gonna have so much fun with this in DVD.
My favorite De Palma movie....
Body Double, along with Blow Out, is my favorite Brian De Palma movie. I have watched it at least 20 times and whenever I get the chance I show it to friends and co-workers too. I cannot explain in a coherent or intelligent way why I love this film so much but the story, De Palma's staging of murder & suspense scenes (esp. when Craig Wesson is chasing the mysterious femme fatale through the beach and gets an anxiety attack in a tunnel...the scene is one of the best De Palma ever did and we get the feeling Hitchcock would've been proud). I love all of De Palma's Hitch rip-offs, and this is no exception. Although De Palma doesn't really "rip-off" so much as take techniques and camera movements/effects Hitch perfected and use them for his own suspense/thriller films. I like all of De Palma's movies...yes, even Bonfire of the Vanties, Snake Eyes, Mission Impossible, & Mission to Mars; all critical bombs (except for MI obviously); but Body Double is my fav. If you like De Palma or even just good ole' truly scary and thrilling suspense films.
POSSIBLY THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE (Really)
Don't listen to the other reviewers. This movie is a new low in cinema -- I don't care that it is violent or exploitative or anything like that -- it is simply dull, badly made, laughably written, and a complete waste of your time. The ONLY nice part is that Melanie Griffith is not yet the puffy drunk plastic surgery victim she now is -- so it is interesting to see for that aspect alone. But wow, this movie is a complete loser.
