Former government agent Peter Sandza (Douglas) searches for his son, kidnapped by a complex government agency hoping to exploit the young man's telekinetic powers for their own ends. Meanwhile a young woman, Gillian (Irving), begins to display her own psychic abilities and goes to live at a mysterious research facility. Gillian and Sandza team up to find his son before the evil conspirators (led by a ruthless John Cassavetes) make him one of them. One of Brian DePalma's most kinetic movies includes elements of thrillers and horror movies combined into a satisfying visual feast. [More]

a pointless but exciting mishmash of action scenes and psychic effects, supported by a cast of reliable and attractive performers.

This more streamlined thriller about another telekinetic girl (Amy Irving) has few supporters, but it revealed further development in De Palma's storytelling skills.

The movie that draws the deepest line in the sand between De Palma apologists and De Palma maniacs.

An often overlooked De Palma effort. A highly entertaining supernatural thriller with a number of visually stunning set pieces and an unforgettably explosive finish.

One of De Palma's flawed-yet-fascinating early experiments.

De Palma's follow up to "Carrie." Look for Darryl Hannah in her first role.

Disappointing as a follow-up to Carrie, but not bad on its own.
