    That's the way I ended up... Fury-ous! There are much better early De Palma flix - try Carrie, Obsession or Dressed To Kill. This seemed like a 2 hour setup for an exploding head.

    I guess this is one of those movies you either hate or love. There are outright comedic moments, and even the stuff that should be overly dramatic consciously evokes a kind of half-life (as in the superb ending, which will pretty much solidify whatever your feelings for this film were before). All in all, it's very entertaining, and worth a rent even if you end up hating it.

    Classic old school horror movie that plays out a little more like an action/drama. Great acting and some fun sequence of events. Give it a rent.
