A Kiss Before Dying Ratings & Reviews
Spotlight on Film
Diana Tuova
This is...a decent thriller with delicious moments of suspense, which undoubtedly paved the way for other quality films to come that centre on male psychopathy.

Sean Axmaker
Its very much a product of its time, handsome and smoothly directed in Technicolor and CinemaScope by Gerd Oswald with a modest style that anticipates the romantic thrillers of the 1960s...
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A silky-smooth adaptation of Ira Levin's first novel.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Based on Ira Levin's (admittedly superior) novel...
TV Guide
An excellent screenplay (unoriginal but full of tension), subtle direction by the overlooked and underutilized Oswald, and good photography help gloss over any weaknesses in the performances.
Variety
Variety Staff
This multiple-murder story is an offbeat sort of film, with Robert Wagner portraying a calculating youth who intends to allow nothing to stand in his way to money... Gerd Oswald's restrained direction suits the mood.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Oswald, who never graduated past B-movies and television, makes masterful use of the frame, pitting his dark thriller elements against a full-color, widescreen frame.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This psychological thriller is penned by Ira Levin, of "Rosemary's Baby" fame...
