I hadn't watched it in ages until picking up a copy of that DVD and was really impressed by De Palma's bravura filmmaking in this film. As she slowly takes on more public appearances, the risk of discovery become higher and her own sense of who she is begins to shift. Both revolving camera scenes with Deborah Shelton and Melanie Griffith are at its best, mixed with the scenes music. Sam had set up Jake as a witness to Gloria's murder so that Sam would have an alibi. As Jake is being buried alive, we suddenly see Jake "below ground" on the set of the porn film like at the beginning and unable to do the scene when he's below ground.
That's the mission of great horror movies: to shatter decorum and transgress societal standards. Wow. De Palma is either ironically commenting on the state of movie-dom and 1980s Hollywood; or just cravenly "peddling" viciousness and misogyny. I do not do S&M or any variations of that particular bent, no water sports either. The story sounded intriguing. The term stunt butt is also attested,[2] as is stunt cock.

The killer is revealed to be Maura's younger brother Samuel (their father, Elijah, had died prior to the murders for which Amalathea was caught—due to a gas station's security video). Sam and dog go over the edge of the reservoir into the water below. An extensively used body double, especially when used in cases where the credited actor has died, is known as a fake Shemp. This was such a weird book! During this time, our main character thinks, rehearses, watches videos, reads, and occasionally eats. And the other side of the coin is that the men have to come off as blameless and superior. I'm such a sucker stories about the dark and depraved side of celebrity. A girl is hired to serve as a celebrity's double in the public eye. Eventually, when the kidnapper gets close, Mattie stuns him with the batteries (which she has wrapped into a sock) and flees into a toolshed; when the kidnapper pursues, she hits him again with the battery-filled sock and stabs him with a screwdriver.

What I like is that he leaves it up to the viewer to make up their own mind.And I know a lot of people went crazy over Melanie Griffith in this film but I always found Deborah Shelton much more attractive in this one. Or is violence against women acceptable (and not anti-woman in nature) when orchestrated by a female director?Furthermore, when Jones has a woman with a machete chop off the killer's drill/phallus, -- thus metaphorically castrating him -- in Slumber Party Massacre, is she being anti-man?
