9. 1/10. One of De Palma's best outside of Carrie. Nancy Allen shows her potential here as the lead, pretty good. I found Dickinson amusing in that this 48 year old would be so careless and reckless in picking someone up at random. They at least showed what happens when you behave stupidly like that. Michael Caine's one of the only guys I know who can wear a dress and have a pretty good figure, just like Tim Curry.

Trivia: This film's ending mirrors that of "Carrie," another film that this movie's director, Brian De Palma, made; at the end of "Carrie," Susan Snell has a dream of visiting the wreckage of Carrie White's house. Then Carrie's hand pops out of the ground and grabs Sue's arm. Susan wakes up screaming and is comforted by her mother. This film ends with Liz having a nightmare about Robert escaping from the institution, coming to her home and killing her. Liz wakes up screaming and is comforted by Peter.
