in my opinion this was a pretty interesting film with some really amazing actors especially nancy allen she did so well in her role and looked absolutely stunning like this film had everything amazing camera work with it capturing shots and just the feels of the actors and the environment that they were in not to mention the really great suspenseful music that was very nicely placed at the most perfect times for you to feel that great suspense in the scene but i will say that the one thing i really didn’t like was how it tried to portray trans people in a negative light but other than that i did enjoy it like especially the ending of this film where caine is in the asylum like the lighting, music creates such a surreal and super creepy atmosphere!

The only remake of Psycho I accept!

I'm starting to really enjoy De Palma's work. He's like at a 10/10 at all times and it's so fun to watch. It's like if Hitchcock directed an exploitation movie. He combines high-brow and low-brow similar to the way Tarantino does. The plot wasn't always airtight, but it was so well directed it didn't even matter. He throws things in the frame (a vagina in a painting while she's getting horny for the museum goer, or religious imagery), that are obvious but fun to catch. The constant zooms and closeups make everything feel big as well, adding to the suspense.

I'm still anxious after watching this! The feeling that something is always around the corner stays with you, and in this way it's one of the more effective thrillers I've seen in recent memory. His use of split-screen and split-focus also add to this anxiety as it doesn't tell you where to look, but rather makes you search the frame for clues and information.

The police officer was absolutely horrible. He was the worst actor and the worst character. I can't believe that made it into the film.

The problematic elements are difficult to overlook in 2020 though. I don't have much to add to that conversation other than that I'm glad we aren't continuing with this trope.

A well directed thriller from a master I'm learning to love. Well worth your time!

DePalma is broader than the Hitchcock comparisons. This film has a lot of the Golden Age of Hollywood in it, indicating a deep love for cinema. It has the swooning romantic score and the unironic concern for its protagonist, the difference being that this is very nude. And how refreshing to have a middle-aged female hero, here succumbing to the allure of infidelity, which turns into horror, which reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut. DePalma is so hilariously unserious, though. His high-wire suspense set pieces regularly veer off into goofy territory, except for the masterful dialogueless gallery sequence.
