Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Frankie say relax! In 1984 Brian De Palma trolled his critics with his most deliberate Hitchcock rip-off yet, reimagining Vertigo as a balls-to-the-wall sex-and-sleaze hardcore voyeurismfest. Met with boos at its first public screening, the power drill innuendos are worth the price alone."

I don’t think we will ever screen a more 80s film, even if we tried.
By the mid-80s, Brian De Palma had turned out what would end up being titled some of the “greatest” films ever made.
But one thing he was an enemy of was the censors and the critics. Most of his films in the 80s had been dubbed "too sleazy" or "too violent". Did he listen? No, he made Body Double, a homage to some or a rip off of Hitchcock to others, only you can decide.
Down on his luck, Jake is offered a place to stay by his good friend. The 2 indulge in a light bit of voyeurism, innocent fun or a dangerous encounter?
