SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
De Palma’s sleek, voyeuristic nightmare shares Body Double’s elaborate visual set-pieces, erotic anxiety, subjective suspense, and knowingly Hitchcockian games with audience identification.
02
Why this pick
Its isolated protagonist turns obsessive observation into danger, with the same virtuoso camera-and-sound craftsmanship, paranoid momentum, and heightened Hollywood-thriller atmosphere.
03
Why this pick
A lush, knowingly artificial erotic thriller built around surveillance, doubles, seductive surfaces, and audacious visual misdirection—very much in Body Double’s flamboyant register.
04
Why this pick
This sharp neo-noir offers the same adult, dangerous playfulness: a sunlit world of sex, deception, manipulation, and characters constantly performing versions of themselves.
05
Why this pick
Its Los Angeles movie-industry setting and acidly self-aware storytelling complement Body Double’s show-business artifice, while keeping the viewer alert to shifting roles and hidden motives.

01 / THE STORY
Jake Scully (Craig Wasson) is a struggling actor who has lost his role as a vampire in a low-budget horror movie after his claustrophobia thwarts shooting. After returning home to discover his girlfriend (Barbara Crampton) cheating on him, he splits and is left without a place to stay (the residence belongs to her). At a method acting class he meets Sam (Gregg Henry) who closely monitors Scully's revelation of his fears and the childhood cause of his claustrophobia. They go to a bar where Scully is offered a place to stay; Sam's rich friend has gone on a trip to Europe and needs a house-sitter for his ultra-modern home in the Hollywood Hills.
