Thinking about watching this one, is it worth seeing? I know it was a really early attempt by Brian DePalma to emulate Hitchcock.

In my opinion, it's definitely worth seeing. It basically put De Palma on the map and set the pattern for many of his subsequent movies. He did a great job creating some bizarre, hallucinatory images.

I liked it. It has an atmosphere to it that I like. Visually it's quite nice. It has a colour scheme and a quiet intensity to it that reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show when the mood changed upon ascending to the laboratory after The Time Warp.
Maybe I missed it, but I'm not sure which Hitchcock film this one tried to emulate. Either way I liked it on its own.

I guess if you squint. I wonder of that's hindsight of his much more overt Hitchcock homages talking. It felt like Cronenberg to me, before Cronenberg was really a thing.

I believe it also has a touch of Spellbound.

This was a really creepy psychological horror film. Yes, the film appropriates Hitchcock's visual and narrative style, but Brian De Palma adds his own unique and sinister approach that it makes it enjoyable in its own right. I was a little upset the murder wasn't directly solved but it's known the victim's body is hidden inside the couch. Lastly, I found it improbable the crime scene was cleaned up quite nicely after all that blood splatter. I liked it. It has an atmosphere to it that I like. Visually it's quite nice.

Maybe I missed it, but I'm not sure which Hitchcock film this one tried to emulate. Either way I liked it on its own.He emulated several Hitchcock films such as Rear Window with Jennifer Salt's character seeing a murder from her apartment window, a corpse stored inside some furniture from Rope, hypnosis from Spellbound, and the use of a knife as a murder weapon and split-personality disorder from Psycho. There's surely more allusions, but those are the four that come to mind.

That sounds less like emulating and more like cutting and pasting.
