Ray B 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Farah R 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. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Sams K Interesting and entertaining, some holes in the screenplay but still a good entertaining movie! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Jody S For it's time very intriguing and entertaining ! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Christopher A 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.
