**_Who’s killing alluring women in early 80’s SoCal?_** A photographer in Los Angeles (Michael Callan) has troubling dreams as he juggles visits to a shrink (Seymour Cassel), dealing with his amputee brother (James Stacy) and establishing a new romantic relationship (Joanna Pettet). Meanwhile a serial killer is on the loose. “Double Exposure” (1982) is a psychological murder mystery with some slasher elements. Think of movies like Shatner’s “Impulse,” “The Centerfold Girls” or “Haunts” mixed with a little “Nightmare” from the year prior. It’s basically a quasi-remake of Callan’s own “The Photographer” from eight years prior. The quality cast is rounded out by the likes of Pamela Hensley, Cleavon Little, Robert Tessier and Don Potter with the female cast highlighted by Misty Rowe (Bambi), Debbie Zipp (Toni), Sally Kirkland and Victoria Jackson (her cinematic debut in a bit part). It runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, and was shot in the Los Angeles area, including Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks and Tarzana, Burbank and Santa Monica Beach. GRADE: B-
