This was a big time and major vibe, mostly for the setting and the way its framed.

Strange homage to noir movies. I think. But has its charms nonetheless.

A true homage to Alfred Hitchcock and his style of films. While the story was interesting it was a bit predictable, but entertaining nonetheless.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme estava indo bem com a perseguição no shopping, na praia e por outros lugares, mas depois o filme teve cortes de cenas bem diferentes, como a cena da perseguição do túnel, que do nada o jake skully sofre teve um ataque cardíaco, e depois ele falou com a garota e beijou ela no túnel, e começou a ter beijar ela nos peitos dela e também no pescoço, meio sem sentido essa cenas juntas, depois o jake se tornou-se um ator e viu uma atriz de filmes um poucos eróticos e entrou no banheiro onde ela estava conversou com ela, e transou com ela aí mesmo no banheiro e foda-se, acabou de se conhecer e já trancaram em um banheiro público para mulheres, depois na parte final foi revelado que o perseguidor que matou a gloria revelle e que tentou matar a holly body era na verdade o Sam o cara que colocou o jake skully para perseguir as garotas, mas o plot twist tinha sido revelado antes do final, em vez de revelar quando o jake encontrou com ele, não, fizeram um diálogo que o jake que o do nada já sabia que era ele antes do final vai toma no cu, e no final do filme, de a cena que mostrou quem era o assassino, mas já foi revelado um 20 minutos antes de acabar o filme, mas quando o jake ia ser enterrado vivo, a cena cortou para um estúdio de filmagem que ele era ator e foda-se, quando ele volta para o local para retorna a cena, a cena corta de volta ele saindo do túmulo e escapando, e depois o cachorro de Sam, derrubou ele e o cachorro foi junto, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme, mas as cenas bacaninhas em lugares que não para acontecer.

Has some interesting campy stuff, but overall not a great movie. Some items are hard to explain: in the beginning after the very long chase ends the hero, who otherwise appears a healthy young man, is unable to walk on his own and has to lean on the woman he is peeping on. DePalma offers interesting visual elements, including partial female nudity. There are better movies with these characteristics.

I'm not sure which is worse, the acting or the story. The acting is forced and wooden, but the story is just so stupid it's hard to believe this got made for any other reason than a chance to have a lot of nudity on screen. The traffic stop scene at the end is one of the all time dumbest things I have ever seen on film. It's up there with the "Martha scene" in BVS. This film is horrible.

The movie is one of those movies where everyone else loves it but you're feeling like WTF did I just watch. You will be utterly confused by the last ten minutes and have no clue what you just watched.

As a fan of De Palma, I was shocked at how little his distinctive cinematography and intricate writing are present in Body Double. The film is dull from the get-go as it lacks an exciting mystery and characters. It also missed De Palma's usual unconventional way of unfolding his film's plots.

Interesting and entertaining, some holes in the screenplay but still a good entertaining movie!

For it's time very intriguing and entertaining !

It's interesting to see some fellow De Palma fans consider this one of his best movies. To me, this is a somewhat awkward and messy bridge between the two main De Palma periods -- his early thrillers, which made his name, and his later forays into other genres (and his brief periods of mainstream commercial success). The choice of location itself announced Body Double as a new type of De Palma film (the wintry NYC and Philadelphia of Sisters, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out is long gone). It's a sunny, sleazy, deliberately overblown thriller in day-glow LA colors and a lot of people seem to love it. Some of the big scenes are exciting and the film is always entertaining, but the script is a bit of a slog (the movie is much longer than it needs to be) and, most important, this is the one De Palma film for which his usually astute sense of casting failed him (something that fans of the film don't seem to grapple with). Other than Melanie Griffith in her star-making turn, the rest of the cast is adequate or in some cases (Deborah Shelton) much less than that.

"Relax, don't do it When you want to go to it Relax, don't do it When you want to... "

One of the worst I’ve seen

What if "Vertigo" but it is all pure 80s sleaze? Look De Palma clearly made this intending to offend but his pure craftsmanship elevates the movie beyond the lurid and ridiculous screenplay. If you can accept this all as pure fantasy, which is what I believe you should do with all of De Palma's erotic thrillers, you can disregard the moral implications and enjoy the movie on its own terms.

A masterful exploration of voyeurism wrapped up in a sleazy, glamourous murder mystery plot. Though slow in the beginning, once the movie gets going, it will keep you glued to the screen all the way until the glorious end.

Excessively stylized to the point of artifice. Poorly constructed, predictable plot.

Another high quality B- film by De Palma. This is more suspenseful/outrageous than the other Hitchcock homages made by him. Technical camerawork. 80s flick.

3 stars all-around with one 5-star sequence.

Brian De Palma's mind-bending amalgamation of John Lautner's Chemosphere, voyeurism, the Hollywood Hills, Porn, and B-movie filmmaking is an intricate and suspenseful Hitchcockian thriller.

A movie for anyone (+18), especially for film lovers. The thrill is alive everytime. Good movie.
