Yep, Brian De Palma really threw everything from his bag of tricks at the screen that he could, Jen. Split screen, split focus diopter, overhead shots, continuous tracking shots, reflections, tinted lighting, etc. This movie was a master class in Brian De Palma.

[@seanberry1969]

Thank you

[@44excalibur]

Angie Dickenson had a body double for the shower scene, and the casting process for the body double inspired De Palma to write his 1984 thriller, Body Double. De Palma was also inspired to write Blow Out while making this movie after having a discussion with his sound effects man about how the wind effects sounded old and they needed new wind effects.

[@Trademarc1977]

When Michael Caine dresses up as "Bobbi," the character is actually played by Susanna Clemm who also appears as the police detective who shoots ... Bobbi. I love Dressed to Kill, even though I'm not a fan of De Palma's writing (too silly for my taste). DtK works because of the mood and visuals. The zoom-in on Nancy Allen's eyes when she sees the killer's reflection is one of my all-time favorite shots.

[@stephenulmer3781]

A really suspenseful movie is "Blood Simple"

[@44excalibur]

Fun Fact: Dressed To Kill's music was scored by long time Brian De Palma collaborator Pino Donaggio, who also scored Carrie, Blow Out, and Body Double.

[@slyslaughter5115]

But first he scored Nic Roeg's "Don't Look Now", which is gorgeous, and how DePalma discovered him , thank the fates.

[@keithbrown8490]

De Palma's era when he was doing his Alfred Hitchcock homages. Hitchcock's favorite music composer Bernard Herrmann had just past away so he always had Pino Donaggio do his best Herrmann type scores.

[@hardsam68]

Pino Donaggio has his own style nothing to do with Bernard Hermann

[@StCerberusEngel]

It's fairly obvious when you've seen a few of his movies, but DePalma was heavily influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, and Dressed to Kill is probably the most blatant in its inspirations. While some view this as a fault of his work, I love it. Also, you'd be surprised. This movie both a financial and critical hit in 1980. We have this narrative going around today that liberal ideas didn't surface until the 2010s, and it's just plain wrong.

[@kallreader7376]

The weapon is called a straight razor, old fashioned (or high end these days) shaving implement

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

A couple of great comedies featuring Micheal Caine include "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (with Steve Martin), and "Without A Clue" (with Ben Kingsley).

[@44excalibur]

Fun Fact: Brian De Palma came up with the idea for Blow Out while making Dressed To Kill, Jen. During the editing, he had a discussion with his sound effects editor about how the wind effects sounded old, and he wanted new wind. So his sound effects man ended up recording new wind effects standing in his own backyard with a microphone. That's where De Palma got the idea for Travolta's character, Jack Terri.

[@e.s.9080]

Imagine being an 11yr old boy saying let's see Dressed to Kill. No questions asked, my mom and aunt knew I was into horror and, they being Angie Dickinson fans, we liked "Carrie"...what could possibly go wrong? Lol. That legendary opening shower scene alone was enough to have all eyes on me as I never felt so small in my seat. The only one having a laugh at my awkward uncomfortable situation were my 20ish year old cousin and her husband (they were still newlyweds), he...gave me a thumbs up for suggesting the film. Lol. All that aside, I was so captivated by the style that film was shot, the music, the creepy vibe of "Bobby", piecing the motive of the killer. It was all great and to this day remains my favorite DePalma film and one of my favorite thrillers of all time, not to dismiss a pre-teen's wet dream. Lol. Anyway, may be glossed up trash to some, but I think of it as art. Still can hear my mom and aunt as we walked to the car after the film "I can't believe she (Angie Dickinson) would be in that kind of movie...". 👍👍

[@daron85]

I honestly can't believe you're doing a reaction for this. This is so awesome! I also watched your Blow Out reaction which is one of my top 10 favorite films. I never thought anyone would do these earlier DePalma thrillers and this is why you stand out from the rest of the reactors. No hate to them. I still love theirs, but it's just refreshing to see someone react to the more rare gems.

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

Expected a lot of "Oh myyyyy's" early on, and was not disappointed. Jen delivers.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

and also a couple of cheese and rice 😎

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

@@JulioLeonFandinho Yeah. Sadly no "Bonked 'em" or "Dats da name of da mooovie".

[@rodbacote8607]

Dressed to Kill was critically acclaimed but there were people who had problems because it was at a time where there a lot of movies that had violence against women. It's one of my favorites as it is so beautifully shot and stylish and well acted by everyone. It's very reminiscent of Psycho in it's structure but it stands on its own.

[@robertjewell9727]

Favorite Michael Caine movie? The,Man Who Would Be King, although there are quite a few. I think DePalna's best use of split screen is in his 1972 SISTERS. DtK is a movie that borrows from everything and only has a sliver of genuine psychology and is very camp and a bit adolescent although I love my pal Nancy and she is perfectly cast. She's topnotch in DePalma's BLOWOUT. You've seen that, right?

[@carlossaraiva8213]

My favorite Michael Caine movie is GET CARTER (1971). He plays such a badass, a gangster from London who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to investigate the mysterious circunstances of his brother's death. In any other movie his character would be a villain but in that film he's the closest thing to a hero in a story filled with repreensible people.

[@jamesharper3933]

Yeah, Get Carter would be#1 for me too. Second would have to be Muppet Christmas Carol. 😁😁🤣🤣 LOL.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

@@jamesharper3933 What, not Jaws IV????

[@carlossaraiva8213]

I think De Palma's movie that is the most blatant "hommage" to the point of rip off of Hitchcock is "Obsession". I used to think the critics were too harsh and queasy on De Palma for his Hitchcockian influences, but i have to give it to them in regard to Obsession.

[@Johonnac]

John Lithgow playing such a creepy villain! Genevieve Bujold from Coma and Dead Ringers! Saw it at the impressionable age of 16 with my 14 year old brother and my parents. Grateful that they had no qualms bringing us to movies with adult themes.

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

This movie is a prime example of what is called a Giallo movie, American style. Giallo movies (Yellow movies) are a Italian sub-genre of murder mysteries. They can be gruesome and sleazy at times, along with great cinematography and music. Plots usually are about sex and death in some form and over complex characters and sub-plots at times. The film genre started around mid-to-late 1960s and peaked in popularity during the 1970s. For the Several well known Giallo movies would be Dario Argento's Deep Red (Italian: Profondo rosso 1975), Strip Nude for Your Killer ( Italian: Nude Per L'assassino 1975), Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace (Italian: 6 donne per l'assassino, lit. '6 Women for the Murderer' 1965) and The Cat o' Nine Tails (Italian: Il gatto a nove code 1971). These will give you a wide range and a good start. Enjoy!

[@44excalibur]

Dressed To Kill was actually very well received when it came out in 1981, Jen, earning positive critical reviews and grossing over $31 million on a $6.5 million budget. Dressed To Kill started the erotic thriller trend of 1980s cinema, but it was unfortunately overshadowed by later films like Body Heat, Fatal Attraction, and Basic Instinct, which is probably why not many people remember it today.

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

Dressed to Kill is a outright connection to the Giallo movies from the 60s-70s. And a dam fine made one at that.

[@44excalibur]

You probably noticed that Dressed To Kill has an ending that is similar to the beginning of Blow Out, where there's a POV tracking shot of the killer that imitates the slasher film genre of the early 1980s. This was intentional on De Palma's part because in both movies he's evoking John Carpenter's Halloween.

[@44excalibur]

I think you set a new record for the most "Oh my's" in a reaction video, Jen. lol 😂

[@ReelReviewsWithJen]

Haha yeah this one was spicy 🌶

[@44excalibur]

Even though Dressed To Kill was set in New York City, the art museum scene was actually filmed inside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is Brian De Palma's home city. He filmed Blow Out in Philadelphia for that same reason.

[@oxhine]

If you liked this, you need to check all of Dario Argento's giallis! Both DePalma and Argento were hugely influenced by Hitchcock and this movie is basically an American gialli! Start with 1969's "Bird with the Crystal Plumage"!

[@mitchyd6086]

No one moves a camera or frames their shots like De Palma (maybe Gaspar Noe), his split diopter shots make the mouth water, particularly the one of the glove being picked up outside the gallery!

[@BigGator5]

"Oh my..." Your reactions are priceless. I highly suggest that you get a clip of George Takei's "Oh My" and splice it in for next time. Fun Fact: Controversial at the time for being perceived as misogynistic, with its portrait of a frustrated housewife getting stalked and brutally murdered. NOW organized a huge protest, which of course boosted ticket sales.

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

Director Brian De Palma actually got the idea for this film from a rather bizarre personal family experience. When his mother suspected his father of infidelities, she got him to follow his father around with recording equipment to try and catch him in the act.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

The final scene is so much like the one in Carrie in which a young woman wakes from a terribly shocking dream, and someone tries to comfort her ("It's all right...") as the score by Donaggio swells into melodramatic stuff. It's De Palma repeating himself, at least to me. Honestly the final sequence in DTK is too much; it smacks of just one more jolt for the movie audience. This is such an engrossing, lurid and sensational horror film. Highly enjoyable. I love the dynamic between Peter and Liz, so cool.

[@brucster99b2]

I think cut throat razor 11:33 was what you were grasping for Jen. A little high on the "O-o-oh My-O-Meter". Definitely has an Italian "Giallo" vibe to it. Very cool film.

[@ChuckPenn3]

It was so sweet of you to talk about the modified camera without realizing it was a Super 8mm movie camera. He set it to shoot one frame every 7 seconds or whatever rather than the usual 24 frames per second (perhaps less with Super 8mm, I don’t know). That’s why he had to go through the footage carefully on a viewer to spot “Bobbie”. Super 8mm and 8mm (and 16mm for the people with means) were home movie formats for amateurs before home video cameras were available.

[@MovieVigilante]

Jen's "Oh myyyy" exclamations rival those of George Takei. I highly recommend watching Michael Caine in _Deathtrap,_ a 1982 black comedy mystery film with Christopher Reeve. That one would be right up your alley.

[@johnw8578]

I second that for DEATH TRAP!

[@garytiptin6479]

DePalma and Hitchcock: Dressed To Kill/Psycho Sisters/Psycho, Rear Window Obsession/Vertigo Body Double/Vertigo, Rear Window And Carrie has the mother/daughter dynamic of Marnie!

[@jamesharper3933]

Angie Dickinson broke into film in 1954. She had her own TV show in the 70's, Police Woman. My favorite movie of hers is 1967's Point Blank with Lee Marvin. Would love your reaction to Brian De Palma's 1978 film The Fury with Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving (Carrie), John Cassavettes (Rosemary's Baby) and Andrew Stevens. Angie was a beautiful actress and was very fashionable. She once said "I dress for the ladies and undress for the men."

[@awall1701]

Police Woman, I loved watching that show back in the day.

[@garytiptin6479]

Dickinson was in "The Killers", from a story by Ernest Hemingway, starring Burt Lancaster and. . .wait for it . . .RONALD REAGEN, before his political career!

[@championskyeterrier]

I love Dressed to Kill. On the one hand, it's kind of undeniably sleazy trash... but it's incredibly well crafted and shot sleazy trash, with all of DePalma's cinematic tricks on display.

Cheese & Rice, Hi Jen, How About Reacting To Body Double Which Also Directed By Brian De Palma

[@joegotham27]

Apart from the whole American giallo aspect, the music, and peak stylized de Palma direction and cinematography, another aspect O really appreciated was Nancy Allen's characterization of an unapologetic sex worker who has business sense and agency throughout the film (except well she did still have to be rescued, but for 1980 still pretty progressive overall)

[@slyslaughter5115]

agreed

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

Nancy Allen was also the girlfriend of John Travolta in the horror movie “Carrie”…in this movie she had a quick upskirt moment when jumping over the turnstile it was filmed at NYC subway station….I remembered the scene was photographed by the New York Daily News at the time…

[@MrMousley]

@6:22 Did you notice that she passes 'Bobbie' on her way down the steps of the museum ? .. and YES 'Bobbie' was the one who picked up the glove.

[@mvjonsson]

Reminds me of Dario Argento's gialli thrillers The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Four Flies On Grey Velvet, Deep Red, and Tenebre. De Palma use of subjective camera, gender identity, reflections/glimpses of blades, paintings/sculptures as clues, etc. reminds a lot of Argento's similar style and visual trickery.

[@TheTrashStash]

it's definitely an homage to giallo's in general, and especially argento's. depalma and argento have really similar directing styles too.

[@andrewgarrett3555]

@@TheTrashStash, bullshit. It is NOT homage to Argento in the least. None of De Palma's work is. De Palma is on record stating he is not a fan of Argento, or at least is (purposely) unfamiliar with the other director's work (which I call bullshit on, seeing the similarity in certain shared aspects of their thrillers). Argento has said that while he is friendly with most of the rest of America's great horror directors of his generation (Romero, Carpenter, etc.), he does not get on well with De Palma. Perhaps one or the other (or both) sees the other as a professional rival, or possibly feels he has been plagiarized by the other director. At any rate, it isn't homage.

I’ll add it to the list! Thanks for watching!

[@sca88]

'I Spit on Your Grave' both 1978 and 2010 versions are great cult films to react to. I guess you could label them as horror but they're more violent revenge films. Revenge films are some of my favorite films. Seeing despicable characters getting their just desserts always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[@TerryNationB7]

33:01 During the pan towards the taxi cab, we saw a very quick moment of a blonde with curly hair and sunglasses, so looking back we can assume that was who picked up the other glove.

[@44excalibur]

Well, I think that Dr. Elliot was also suffering from dissociative identity disorder as well as being transgender, Jen. His “Bobbi" persona was an actual separate identity and not just him being transgender.

[@jasongoestohell]

You should check out the 1978 Brian De Palma film THE FURY and the Michael Caine films THE SWARM (1978) and THE ISLAND (1980).

[@44excalibur]

Brian De Palma was not only inspired to write Blow Out while filming Dressed To Kill, he also was inspired to write Body Double during the casting for body doubles for Angie Dickinson's shower scene. Nancy Allen required no body double as she often got naked at the drop of a hat in De Palma movies. lol 😆

[@slyslaughter5115]

Thanks. This inspired me to pull out the Donaggio soundtrack and revisit it. I'll never forget hearing it in a huge Market Street theater in San Francisco one rainy afternoon. I;d been playing "Don't Look Now" (Dir: Nic Roeg) and "Carrie"(Dir: DePalma) for years wondering when Donaggio would do more work for DePalma. A really lush work that propels and fuses with DePalma's best "Hitchcock phase", so to speak.

I suggest Session 9 (2001). It's the best unknown horror movie you have never heard of. It's a slow burn psychological horror film.

[@sca88]

Saw this as a kid in the theater but I think I was a little young. Not because of the horror factor because I'd already seen Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, Zombie, I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, etc. It just seemed more of an adult film for my friends and I when we saw it.

[@tremorsfan]

Another movie about split personalities you might enjoy is called "Raising Cane" with John Lithgow. Interestingly, it's also directed by Brian de Palma.

[@44excalibur]

Yep, that's Keith Gordon from Christine playing Peter, Kate Miller's son. His character is based on Brian De Palma himself, who was a tech geek growing up.

Love your intelligent comments! When I watch your reactions I always learn something new about cinematography. Like you I love scenes in museums, and the flirting in the museum 4:22 was my favorite part. Brian de Palma is like Hitchcock for the 80s. Angie Dickinson and Michael Caine were both big stars in the 70s, and their movies are worth watching.

[@ReelReviewsWithJen]

Thank you so much! So kind! Thank you for watching!

The characters of Peter in Dressed To Kill and Jack Terri in Blow Out are both loosely based on Brian De Palma himself, as both men are tech geniuses who use their scientific and technical knowledge to solve a murder mystery.

[@1nelsondj]

Nancy Allen married DePalma in 1979, divorced in 1984. She was in several of his films including the earlier "Carrie" and "Blow Out". She was in the 3 RoboCop films as well. I vaguely recall seeing this in the theater, didn't care for it at the time, I thought cross-dressing was for British comedians. I've grown a lot since then and now have a live-and-let-live attitude about how people live their lives. Was never a big Michael Caine fan but he was in one of my favorite military films the 1977 "A Bridge Too Far" which unlike many is not a propaganda piece. Your early reaction around the shower scene to some horrific act was lost since I didn't see what made you so upset. I assume someone got attacked.

[@carlosmejido3244]

Everytime someone suggests to Elliott of having sex, he looks to a mirror disturbed, revealing that Bobbi is taking control (for that reason she appears in the museum, Kate asked him in the session)

My mother was pregnant with me when she saw this back in 1980. Apparently, I kicked the living shit out of her during the murder sequence, and she jumped out of her seat. By that default alone, I have to consider this film a masterpiece, but seriously, it is De Palma at his most diabolically beautiful.

[@flibber123]

One aspect I think De Palma missed in this movie is the presentation of consequences for the Dickinson character. In Psycho it's done more elegantly. In that movie, yes she's sexually active outside marriage, she's also stealing a lot of money, so she pays the price for it but it feels organic. In a way, it doesn't really feel like Marion is being punished, it feels like she just had really bad luck stopping at that motel. In this movie she's really just unhappy in her marriage. Then she has to worry about getting infected with STDs. Then she gets slashed. It feels like he's piling on a lot of punishment for no good reason.

[@johnw8578]

Death Trap is a good psychological-murder-mystery-type movie with Michael Caine and Christopher Reeves. I highly recommend it.

[@CarolinaCharles777]

As a fan of Caine. My favorite performances are The Quiet American, Little Voice, Get Carter, A Shock to the System and (believe it or not) The Hand!

[@TerryNationB7]

I watched this movie for the first time today, so that I could then watch your reaction to it. I'm glad I did, though I feel I still prefer De Palma's slightly later movie Body Double (1984). I did like the filming at the art museum. I'd imagine if they didn't get together outside the museum it still would have been a nice memory to look back on in later years. The thought of having once played cat and mouse in a flirty way and knowing that someone desired you, even though nothing happened. The train scenes reminded me of a couple of movies; Walter Hill's The Warriors (1979) and Dario Argento's Sleepless (2001).

To meet her he sneaks into a secret meeting of a creepy Swiss pharmaceutical co. which is developing a new drug which seems to release the "deep unconscious". It's got good performances and fascinating philosophical ideas, and I watch it again and again. It is actually a 3 part British TV miniseries, which is probably why it isn't better known, but plays like a movie.
