Writer-Director Brian De Palma weaves a symphony of suspense with one of his most terrifying nightmares. When a socialite is savagely slashed to death, a high-class prostitute may have seen the clues to solving the crime. But now she’s next on the killer’s hit list and she’ll have to team with the victim’s psychiatrist and grieving teenage son to piece together what happened. Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine, Nancy Allen, and Keith Gordon star in De Palma’s answer to Dario Argento, a superlative American giallo featuring sex, death, black gloves and straight razors, virtuoso camera work, and a memorable Pino Donaggio score.
