Thoughts?


P.S. I haven't seen it yet
Don't look Now is imo something of a hidden gem.Sutherland and Christie give powerfully emotional performances that are absolutely believable.Director Nicholas Roeg's movie is barely a Horror movie at all,more a psychological exploration of grief and the healing process.Visually the movie is full of flair,the cinematography is wonderful and the editing is perfect.The shocking moment you refer to does shock and does linger afterwards but thats due more to the build up rather than the scene itself.Great movie :)
