This was a wild, confusing - and extremely stupid - movie for the first 50 minutes BUT once the action kicks in and all the twists and turns begin happening, it's definitely a fun ride from that point. That's director... Full review

I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this film up recently. Judging this movie by its cover, and putting a little too much trust in the IMDb rating, I avoided it. Finally having watched it I can honestly say that... Full review

Although entertaining, this movie doesn't ring true. I bought the DVD and have gone over it a couple times to verify the claim that Melanie played both tease sequences. I really can't say it was her. Under the light her ribs... Full review

Body Double is a shameless rip off of Hitchcock and oddly enough, of DePalma's earlier work as well. Badly acted by a bumbling lead, the dialogue is dumb and the film ultimately makes no sense. It actually grows stupider as it... Full review

Brian DePalma's most shamelessly exploitive film ever,this one wallows in sex and voyerism for far too long before coming to a rushed and stupid climax.The lead performance by Craig Wasson as a none too bright,struggling claustrophobic actor who sublets a state... Full review

Beware, revisiting old favorites can be a heartbreaking experience. Ever since I saw Carrie (1976), I've tried to watch all the films made by Brian De Palma that I could get my hands on. I watched Body Double right after... Full review

Most of the movie presented a fairly accurate and distinct image. This is a more than acceptable DVD for a tedious, uncreative film. Body Double: Special Edition (1984) Music also seemed bright and vivid, and the score showed solid bass response. ... Full Review

Body Double , while not his finest, is the best candidate as De Palma's signature film. Though it's evident that De Palma was taking petulant pot shots at the bluenoses who turned Dressed To Kill 's classy, good-natured ribaldry into the purported number one cause of all rapes committed between 1980 and 1981, Body Double 's manufactured assaults never cross the line. ...
