Beautifully shot mystery thriller with a great cast. Sadly the screenplay is average and the pacing is very slow (especially in 2022!). Nonetheless a great watch for genre fans.

If you like that you're gonna love this film if not it's a bit of a bore.
There's are scenes where Angie Dickinson doesn't talk much, it's like me being very quiet, that's always nice and also the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. I love the soundtrack. The film does have a shocking ending however I do not have the time to go into that right now, but yeah the film is worth checking out if you're a Brian De Palma fan.… Expand

Dressed To Kill is like watching Psycho (which is inspired the movie) and Carrie (one of De Palma's previous film) at the same time, from the music, cinematography, tense, and of course the story is exactly like Psycho with more freedom ofDressed To Kill is like watching Psycho (which is inspired the movie) and Carrie (one of De Palma's previous film) at the same time, from the music, cinematography, tense, and of course the story is exactly like Psycho with more freedom of nudity and violence, and the most impressive thing on the movie is that when everytime they build the tense with no dialogue, just a music score in the background, following the person for a pretty long time and it's just really moving you, you're into it, and then oddly it's still get you, it's a terrifying movie with a fantastic performance by all the cast, Dressed To Kill is a hell of a movie and it's definitely one of, if not De Palma's best.… Expand
