Double Exposure

About This Movie

So, 'Double Exposure' from 1977 is one of those films that sits in a curious place—part thriller, part sleazy drama. You’ve got James Compton, who gets wrapped up in a scandalous affair while trying to capture his subject, the alluring Simone. The atmosphere feels gritty with a touch of the experimental, and it really explores themes of obsession and betrayal. The pacing can be a bit uneven but that adds to the tension. There's something about those practical effects that just feels raw and visceral. And while the performances may not be Oscar-worthy, they suit the film’s vibe, creating an oddly compelling watch that lingers in your mind.

This film has had a somewhat limited release on various formats over the years, with early VHS editions being the most common. However, it’s not exactly abundant, which adds to its charm for collectors. Interest has spiked slightly due to its cult status, though it remains relatively obscure compared to other thrillers from this era. If you find a copy in good condition, it’s worth grabbing, as it doesn’t come up often.
