Body Double (1984)
3/10
Terrible film
19 July 2012
Great God, what a terrible film. Many films "date" badly, but this one is possibly the worst I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. It comes across as a hopelessly amateurish movie, rather than a mainstream Hollywood production. You can figure out who the killer is before too long -- even a blind man could tell the guy is wearing a hokey rubber mask. I've seen better makeup on children calling at my house on Halloween. And the murder, with the cord of the electric drill popping out of the wall at the last minute -- a break, render unto me one. Even the over-rated Hitchcock wasn't that lame, although he came pretty close at times.

Finally, does anybody out there think that Craig Wasson looks like the love child of Jeff Bridges and Bill Maher? That was so distracting to me, that, even if the film had been any good, I couldn't have sat back and enjoyed it.
