Double Exposure is a 1982 American horror film written and directed by William Byron Hillman, co-produced by Michael Callan, and starring Callan, Joanna Pettet, James Stacy, and Seymour Cassel.[3] It is a loose remake of the 1974 film The Photographer,[4] which was also written and directed by Hillman, produced by Deming, and starring Callan. The film follows a photographer who starts to experience dreams in which he murders the models he photographs.
Scorpion Releasing issued Double Exposure on DVD on February 12, 2012.[12]
In April 2017, Double Exposure was restored in 2K and released on DVD and Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome,[4][13][14] both as a standard edition release and as a limited edition release with a slipcover.[15]
Reception
Mike Mayo of The Roanoke Times panned the film as "cliched, chaotic, pretentious, confusing, and boring."[11] Ted Mahar of The Oregonian felt that the film's pacing was clunky, writing: "It's curious and slightly depressing to see Little and Pettet grinding away in this minor offering."[9]
Lee Pfeiffer of Cinema Retro called the film "generally engrossing and well-made", though he wrote that the film's "ending veers into cliched 'woman in jeopardy' territory and the final few frames of the movie, in which the killer is unveiled, boasts some fine acting but disintegrates into a confusing and frustrating scenario in the last hectic seconds."[4]
Paul Mavis of DVD Talk praised the film for its "exceptional" cinematography and music.[12]
