Directed by: Brian de Palma

Writer/director Brian De Palma maintains a fever pitch from start to finish with this steamily libidinous and extremely bloody thriller. Starring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson and Nancy Allen (in a Golden Globe-nominated performance), this taut psycho-sexual chiller is a razor-sharp tale of passion, madness and murder that's as scary as hell, with suspense to spare. Riffing playfully on the plot of Hitchcock's Psycho, featuring some astonishing camera work and a seductive score by Pino Donaggio, Dressed To Kill is De Palma as his stylish best.

Fashionable Manhattan therapist Dr. Robert Elliott (Caine) faces the most terrifying moment of his life, when a psychotic killer begins attacking the women in his life (Dickinson and Allen) with a straight razor stolen from his office. Desperate to find the murderer before anyone else is hurt, Elliott is soon drawn into a dark and disturbing world of chilling desires. And as the doctor edges closer to the terrible truth, he finds himself lost in a provocative and deadly maze of obsession, deviance and deceit - where the most harmless erotic fantasies can become the most deadly sexual nightmares.
