Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A movie which continues [De Palma] practice of making cross-references to other movies, other directors, and actual historical events, and which nevertheless is his best and most original work.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
It's a great movie.
– Pauline Kael,
New Yorker,
28 May 2008
rotten:
With attractive leads and a stylish flair for suspense, De Palma misses sustaining involvement by his distracting allusions to prior films.

fresh:
This 1981 release is one of Brian De Palma's more interesting and better-made thrillers, though it's even more abjectly derivative than his Hitchcock imitations.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Perfectly contrasts movies that reveal the truth against those which avoid it - a blood-drenched yet stake-free slasher vs. the far more insidious horrors of all-American living.
