Don’t let the ugly Italian poster art on the disc box throw you — The Internecine Project is a clever plot-driven murder tale in an espionage vein that gathers a string of B+ stars from the early 1970s for ninety minutes of suspense. It’s not the kind of suspense that makes you wonder what’s going to happen next, but the kind that points to a finish that we know will employ a big surprise, a killer-diller last-minute twist. Or three.

The Film:
One thing that Brian De Palma was know for in the 1980s was his tendency to invoking the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock. Many of his movies from that decade were full of suspense with twists and turns along the way. If they were filmed in black and white, you’d think they were right of the 1950s and 60s. Dressed To Kill, starring Angie Dickinson, Nancy Allen and Michael Caine was no exception.
Dressed To Kill is an interesting movie to review because of the giant twist less than halfway through to movie. There is a murder that’s witnessed by a prostitute, Liz Blake (Nancy Allen of Robocop fame). After the murder, the woman seems to be following Liz everywhere she goes. Kate Miller (blonde bombshell Angie Dickinson) is seeing her psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Elliot (played to perfection by Michael Caine) at this time. That’s about...

Chicago – At first glance, Brian De Palma’s “Dressed to Kill” and Sam Peckinpah’s “Straw Dogs” may seem to have little in common beyond a studio and a need to be on Blu-ray. It’s common for that to the be the Only link (such as when “Scary Movie 2” and “Trainspotting” hit the format next week…come back for coverage). But these two actually have more in common than just a company and a spiffy new transfer. They’re a pair of controversial thrillers from two of the most interesting directors of their era. And with the remake of “Straw Dogs” about to open on Friday, perhaps it’s time we revisit them.
“Dressed to Kill”
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
It might be considered logical to start with the source material for the new remake, but I’d like to start with the superior film. That’s right, “Dressed to Kill...
