Terrible

The dialog and the acting are both terrible. I couldn't finish watching it.

Its an intriguing film.

De Palma is a flawed director but hardly awful.

Its that man again!!

Opened this thread expecting an explanation but instead nothing. Care to elaborate on why you thought it was terrible?

It is definitely not for everyone but I liked it. Different.

I really liked it....probably because i saw it at just the right age.
I was around 14 when I caught this on late night cable....and it was GREAT!

Obviously, I really liked the amazing T&A.
But also, it was captivating.

That super cool house.

The music.

The creepy villain.

The murder. (Spooky)

It was all rather surreal. I had never seen a movie quite like this one. I'm not sure why people find funny parts in it. To me it was kinda like a sexy, stylized noir film. There was a lot of suspense and eroticism....but definitely no comedy.
