At that time comparisons to Rear Window were the chief criticisms of the film, along with how it negatively portrayed women. I think the two films have similar elements, but Body Double is distinctive enough to not seem that way to me and as you mentioned.

Are you trying to find out if it's worth seeing, or you've seen it and are looking for other opinions on it?<br /><br />I thought it was worth watching, although it's nowhere near as good as Rear Window. And to be completely honest, I never even connected the two films until I read your question just now. Yes, both are about voyeurism where a man believes he sees a woman being murdered, but that's about where the comparisons end.<br /><br />There's a pretty much straight up remake of Rear Window for teens titled Disturbia (2007), but it's not worth seeing.<br /><br />And just to complete the list of versions I've seen, the 100th episode of the TV show Castle was a straight up homage/remake of Rear Window, but with elements specific to the show.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-27012374300367175612015-07-12T16:43:36.443+03:002015-07-12T16:43:36.443+03:00Not me for the simple reason that I have not seen ...Not me for the simple reason that I have not seen it.

It is grubby and gorgeous at the same time, and cleverly flips the traditional murder plot on its head.
