Dressed to Kill (1980)

Director: De Palma

Stars: Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson

Plot: A razor wielding pyscho attacks and terrorizes women associated with a Manhattan Therapist

"Dressed to Kill's" high rating surprised me. I found it very familiar and badly acted, especially by Caine, who sleepwalks through his role. None of the characters seemed likable or rounded & like many 70s/80s films the "bloody violence" looks like people smeared with Ketchup.

Summary: Second rate Hitchcock. Labeled a "sustained work of terror" and a "directorial Tour de force", I wasn't terrorized or impressed, mostly bored. Rating **1/2
