Brian De Palma’s Stylish Thriller DRESSED TO KILL To Receive 4K UHD Release

Genre label Arrow Video has announced the limited edition 4K UHD release of thriller DRESSED TO KILL on 3rd March 2025.

Upon its release in 1980, Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill was as acclaimed for its stylish set-pieces and lush Pino Donaggio score as it was condemned for its sexual explicitness – but the glee with which the writer/director turns this material inside out is completely infectious, as he delves deep inside the troubled psyches of his characters to undermine expectations at every turn.

After sexually frustrated housewife Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) has a session with her psychiatrist, Dr Elliott (Michael Caine), she silently seduces a man in an art gallery – an assignation that ends in murder and the only witness, high-class prostitute Liz Blake (Nancy Allen), being stalked by the killer in turn.

One of De Palma’s darkest and most controversial suspense thrillers, Arrow Video presents this iconic neo-Hitchcockian masterwork in stunning 4K alongside a raft of archival and newly commissioned bonus features.
