What critics compared Greetings to
It’s like if “Get Out” got all mixed up with “Repo Man,” Robert Downey Sr. and scabrous early Brian De Palma satires like “Greetings” and “Hi, Mom!”
De Palma began his career with a pair of comic if slightly sinister tributes to the Peeping Tom, Greetings and Hi, Mom!, but The Fury introduces a souring on voyeurism in his work--the fear of seeing something un-unseeable is now taking precedence over the cheap thrill of spying--that will continue through the autobiographical Home Movies and reach its apex when John Travolta literally covers his ears at the end of Blow Out.
