AUDIENCE SCORE

Rating: 4/4 -- Dressed to Kill remains a prime example of how De Palma is able to marry his awesome technical prowess to the material, using his dazzling feats of cinematic derring-do to propel his stories rather than bury their weaknesses. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- A lurid film featuring throat-slashing, overheated lust, and a too-simple reduction of cross-dressing issues for pulpy purposes. But it also uses grand cinematic gestures to relay the dread and guilt of its characters to great effect. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- DePalma is not yet an artist of Hitchcock's stature, but he does earn the right to a comparison. Full Review

Ultimately, the film amounts to little more than a consummate study of suspense technique, all dressed up with nowhere to go. Full Review
