CARRIE is a horror classic but no one ever really talks about the other film DePalma released that same year OBSESSION. DePalma was quite cleary still in his HITCHCOCK KNOCKOFF phase, but he did it with such style. But CARRIE had something OBSESSION did not, Sissy Spacek.
Marcus,
I saw “Obsession” ages ago. Can’t remember much about it.
I know that “Dressed to Kill” is your favorite De Palma flick. Mine is something completely different: “Phantom of the Paradise.”
I find that one of the best films of the 1970s. And no one talks about it, either…
Amy Irving looks great!
