Body Double (1984)
This very ’80s take on voyeuristic movies, this Brian De Palma cult classic pays tribute not just to Hitchcock’s Rear Window, but also to the master’s Vertigo.
When struggling actor Jake Scully (Craig Wasson, pictured) gets the chance to housesit at a fancy home in the Hollywood Hills, he learns that the job comes with a creepy side benefit: through a telescope, he can watch a neighbor get undressed each night.
But soon, an act of violence leads Scully to start to question everything, and take a journey into L.A.’s adult underworld that brings him into contact with actress Holly Body, played by a magnetic and charismatic Melanie Griffith.
