I worked on this set during taping. It took 2 weeks to shoot this 81sec. (I was a electrian's grip) I always look to see if my shadow is in there.. It is not..

I did like the movie and I love the song. The scene is one of the greatest for me.

A sensational movie that made a breakthrough in Hollywood. A suspense thriller with unique atmosphere with actors living the part, not just acting and a brilliant scenario is the least i can say. The soundtrack could not be a better one than this song. Well it is my favorite movie of all time. I cant explain it but i just love it, its a masterpiece along with 'Color of night' with Bruce Willis. Next time someone that criticizes a movie better try to understand the inspiration first.

Okay. I had a visceral reaction to this movie, but it was an honest one. I hated it, and wouldn't hesitate to call it one of the ten worst. Objectively speaking, I'm sure there are many other movies that are worse, but I haven't seen them and so can't comment on them. I have a general impression of "me-too" tail wagging whenever lists of great and awful movies are drawn up. For instance, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is the considered the classic "worst movie." But it isn't my worst.

Please, goback.. I appreciate your analysis, but I think you are being a bit harsh. Certainly, no one compares to Hitchcock, in his own genre, but this film, was intented for a contemporary audience, and imho, fulfilled its purpose. It doesn't deserve a "worst ever" rating ... and I believe others would agree. Evafan, perhaps pinpointed your lack of insight. Granted, it's a cult film and should be perceived as such.

I've seen a few, but don't seek out bad movies deliberately. I remember this one, though. Truly horrible.

If Body Double is one of your ten worst films of all time, you obviously haven't watched many films.

When BODY DOUBLE came out, it was fashionable to compare DePalma to Hitchcock. This shows the naivete of viewers and critics, as BODY DOUBLE is, for my money, one of the ten worst films of all time, an absolutely sickening and thoughtless pastiche, without the kind of human feeling that Hitchcock was so good at capturing, even through all the nail-biting suspense.
