Part of the “It’s weird I’ve managed to go this long without seeing this movie” collection. Brian will probably be surprised.

Some thoughts:

  • This was a good movie to watch wearing headphones.
  • Jessica Harper is 25, but looks like a 35 year old who looks 25.
  • Brian De Palma sure does love his split screens.
  • Faust wasn’t enough story, so they threw in The Video Tape of Dorian Gray.

This feels like someone like a stage production of The Rocky Horror show but didn’t want to pay for the film rights.
