Sure, "Dressed to Kill" borrows from "Psycho", but it certainly has the power to stand on it's own. De Palma adds his trademark visual stylings to a fascinating and disturbing plot. Some truly magnificent set pieces - De Palma's strength is in his ability to tell a story with just a camera, and little dialogue. The script is very good, and Michael Caine delivers his usual excellent performance. However, the main reason why this film is so great is because it is superior filmmaking, pure and simple, by a man who knows how to make films.
