Critical response

Lee Pfeiffer of Cinema Retro called the film "generally engrossing and well-made", though he wrote that the film's "ending veers into cliched 'woman in jeopardy' territory and the final few frames of the movie, in which the killer is unveiled, boasts some fine acting but disintegrates into a confusing and frustrating scenario in the last hectic seconds."^[3]

Home media

In April 2017, Double Exposure was restored in 2K and released on DVD and Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome,^[3]^[6]^[7] both as a standard edition release and as a limited edition release with a slipcover.^[8]
