Scary movies # 6 - Don't Look Now

Year: 1973 Director: Nicolas Roeg

A husband and wife grieving the death of their daughter in a drowning accident, relocate to Venice. A blind psychic informs them that her dead daughter is now "happy". The husband then begins to catch fleeting glimpses of his daughter, dressed in a red rain coat, in the streets of Venice.

Don't Look Now is top of the tree for sheer psychological terror. Adapted from the Daphne Du Maurier it makes for uncomfortably edgy viewing. The film is visually stunning -making the most of the labyrinthine back streets of Venice. The cast is faultless with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie giving perhaps their finest performances of their long careers.
