Brian de Palma’s Dressed to Kill coming to UK Blu-Ray uncut; new trailer for release

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Our friends across the pond are in for a real treat next week as Brian de Palma's classic erotic thriller DRESSED TO KILL is set to hit UK Blu-Ray in an uncut edition for the very first time from Arrow Video on July 29, and today we have a cool new trailer for the release as well as the specs for the disc.

Starring legendary British actor Michael Caine (GET CARTER) alongside Nancy Allen (CARRIE, BLOW OUT) and Angie Dickenson (POINT BLANK), DRESSED TO KILL begins as sexually frustrated housewife Kate Miller (Dickenson) consults her psychiatrist about her husband’s lacklustre performance in the bedroom. Following the session with Dr Elliot (Caine), Kate silently seduces a stranger in a New York Art gallery, before going back to his place.

Upon leaving the man’s apartment, Kate is brutally murdered in the elevator; the only witness is high-end prostitute Liz Blake (Allen), who is in-turn accused of the murder. 

One of De Palma's darkest and most controversial suspense thrillers, DRESSED TO KILL was as acclaimed for its stylish set-pieces and lush Pino Donaggio score as it was condemned for its sexual explicitness and extreme violence.
