Well done,  Mr. King.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve significantly revised the review from the prior 2002  Fox DVD, and I\u2019ve also uploaded and expanded my review of Brian De Palma\u2019s<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=7332\">Body Double<\/a><\/strong> (1984), which previously  appeared in an issue of Rue Morgue.
