DEBUTING AS A LIMITED EDITION 4K ULTRA HD™ STEELBOOK SEPTEMBER 24TH

SYNOPSIS

Brian De Palma invites you to witness a seduction… a mystery… a murder. It’s BODY DOUBLE — a
spine-tingling look at voyeurism and sexuality from the modern master of suspense. Jake Scully (Craig
Wasson), an unemployed actor, is asked to house-sit at a luxurious hillside apartment. As a bonus, the
home offers Jake a telescopic peek into the bedroom of Gloria Revelle (Deborah Shelton), who performs
an arousing striptease. When Jake discovers another man is also spying on Gloria, he begins an
obsessive surveillance of her. Soon a grisly murder leads him into the world of X-rated film where he
meets adult film star Holly Body (Melanie Griffith), who is a key to the crime. De Palma has created a
gripping adult thriller of eroticism and horror!
