Part of De Palma.
While staying at the home of a friend (Los Angeles' singular Chemosphere), an unemployed and voyeuristically-inclined actor (Craig Wasson) uncovers a violent conspiracy that threatens to take everything away from him—including his life. In homage to Hitchcock, De Palma nods to VERTIGO and REAR WINDOW, while adding a few grotesque touches all his own. With Melanie Griffith as Holly Body.
