Question
I'm trying to remember the title of a film I saw exactly once on The Movie Channel around 1984-5.

The plot: A professional photographer begins having nightmares that he is murdering his (usually alluring, often scantily clad) model subjects. Then, the women turn up murdered as he dreamed. In one scene, he's shooting a trash bag advetizement, and he convinces the model to look inside the bag. He then closes it -- not only does she begin to suffocate, but there's a poisonous snake inside who badly bites her face.

THE ENDING: The man's (twin?) brother did it to frame the man after his brother began confessing his nightmares to him.

I have not seen nor heard of this film since the one time I saw it as a child. Any idea what it is or who was in it?

Thanks!

Hey, Confused...

Relax... you saw "Double Exposure," made in 1983... it starred Michael Callan and Cleavon Little. It's one of the great guilty pleasure movies because it has gratuitous violence, nudity, and Pamela Hensley, the hot "bad girl" from the "Buck Rogers" TV show, all in one package!

Sorry it took so long to answer you... holiday weekend went a bit long... you can find the movie pretty easily on Ebay and Amazon... go get you copy and relive the good old days!

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
