black dahlia submitted by hcf on July 30, 2014, 4:35pm disturbing story.

Visually stunning submitted by mandevil on December 23, 2018, 11:57am Visually stunning but emotionally empty. Incoherent storyline.

I borrowed this DVD only because it was a Brian De Palma movie, but.... submitted by Tassos on December 2, 2019, 12:53pm I borrowed this DVD only because it was a Brian De Palma movie, but it is TERRIBLE. PHONY photography throughout in a lame effort to create a late 40s atmosphere, and TERRIBLE acting and script. I will try to finish the POS tonight and will finish this review tomorrow.

Update. Tried to see the special features first, and was really turned off. DID NOT finish the STUPID movie.
