Review

I think it is bad luck that ȭon't Look Now" was released in the same year as "The Exorcist" or else this might be a better known and more appreciated one of a kind masterpiece.

ȭon't Look Now" is an horror movie but not one like you would expect it to be. It isn't a movie that scares you with some scene's it is a movie that gets into you and just won't let go and builds up a nightmare like tension. The atmosphere is fantastic and gives the movie a haunting feeling. Venice really works as the perfect backdrop for this movie. The best movie set in Venice ever Even though there aren't any scary sequences in the movie the ending is really horrifying it really freaked me out the first time I saw it I think 5 years ago. On my second viewing not too long ago I was prepared for the ending but it still was a very scary thing to watch!

The storytelling might seem slow but it works perfect for the movie and its tension. There are some brilliant moments in the movie that all come together once the ending approaches. The editing and cinematography are perfect as are the performances by the cast.

And what is a decent comment without mentioning the famous love scene Ah yes the love scene it really is one of the best love scene's ever. It is brilliantly filmed and even more brilliantly edited. Quite Stylish as is the entire movie.

This classic masterpiece certainly deserves more recognition!
