Dressed to Kill [Blu-ray] Reviews

Amid howls from his detractors that Dressed to Kill was merely a warmed-over rehash of Psycho, Brian De Palma actually has fashioned a sleek, stylish, and scary thriller with Dressed to Kill. The film has beautifully designed and executed suspense sequences, and it’s one thing that Psycho definitely isn’t: undeniably and unashamedly erotic. With no Production Code to worry about, the film is also viciously violent when it needs to be, but the director doesn’t wallow in the gore and brutality, and the film’s tender moments and a genuine camaraderie between two unlikely characters give it an unmistakable vibe all its own.
