De Palma’s Dressed to Kill gets remake
Posted by Matt Holmes
MGM and Hyde Park Entertainment believe that we all want to see a remake of Brian De Palma’s early 80’s movie Dressed to Kill.
The remake is part of MGM’s newly formed project where they will release 12 or films a year, most of which will be remakes of popular films and tv programs for our viewing pleasure.
I like the original Dressed to Kill but in truth I love most of Brian De Palma in that era.
With this movie, I thought he was just plain out…having fun. This was his Hitchcock homage movie and he is one of the few directors in the history of cinema who have done so and truly got away with it with a good film. And Michael Caine was at his funniest in this.
12 or more remakes a year going straight to DVD? Who buys this crap?

A knock-off of a movie that was a knock-off of Hitchcockian cinema. Forget about 80’s cartoons getting turned into movies (I’m sure after we all see what a steaming pile of dogsh*t Transformers is, we’ll want to) THIS is the kind of movie Hollywood needs to stop making: the remake.
I’m so sick and tired of it.
