Storyline

After losing an acting role and his girlfriend, Jake Scully finally catches a break: he gets offered a gig house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills. While peering through the beautiful home's telescope one night, he spies a gorgeous woman dancing in her window. But when he witnesses the girl's murder, it leads Scully through the netherworld of the adult entertainment industry on a search for answers—with porn actress Holly Body as his guide.

Critics consensus

“Exemplifying Brian De Palma's filmmaking bravura and polarizing taste, Body Double is a salacious love letter to moviemaking.”

Brian De Palma's much-heralded film is much ado about not very much, a good idea that opens strong and goes wrong within minutes.

It's an expertly crafted B-movie, a brisk and twisty mixture of the slick and sleazy, the glossy and grungy.

... "Body Double" finds Brian De Palma at the zenith of his cinematic virtuosity.

RTNewcityJul 16, 2026

Memorably sleek yet joyously tacky provocation... a cartoon of the world of Los Angeles porn in 1984 and his fantasies of driller-killer double-crosses.
