Reviews
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Michael Ledo Mark (Billy Burke) takes his wife Carla (Megan Ward ) to a remote look out to photograph her. Carla's sister Rachel (Tara Spencer-Nairn) tags along and ends up at the bottom of the cliff....watch that first step. Carla develops severe acrophobia and joins a special group that forces people to face their fears. Members in the group start to die and it appears Rachel's ghost may be responsible.This was a made for TV film with the thrill and suspense of a Lifetime adventure. It was certainly more drama than horror and even with the Hitchcock twist, I was still board. Too long for too little. We see little of the action.
blanche-2 Let me start off by saying I am not a Wes Craven fan nor a fan of the horror genre, so I can't judge this in terms of Wes Craven. I do know it's atypical of him, having sat through half of one of his films which is now banned.Spectacular scenery highlights "Don't Look Down," about a young woman who witnesses the horror fall which results in the death of her beloved sister. She joins a group to get over her resulting fear of heights. Unfortunately the members of the group start ending up dead.The denouement of this film was guessable from the first frame. The performances are decent and the setting is truly gorgeous. It's certainly entertaining. I caught this on Lifetime where I've seen much worse. I think with films like this, it makes a difference whether you see it in a theater, rent it, or catch it for free. I say wait and catch it for free.
TheDeaderman I recorded this way back then on ABC and all i have to say is:WHY WES? Why make this cliched piece of drivel? Makes you glad he did the Nightmare movies. And especially the villian of this movie. WAY over the top.
Manna-2 Wes Craven's Don't Look Down (1998) on VHS? Okay. We found this rare nugget for sale on the internet for a mere four dollars and despite our previous review, decided to waste the money. This film is still as crappy as it was when it premiered on Halloween 1998. Scaled down to 89 minutes (aren't all television movies 93 minutes after they've been edited?) and boasting the traditional (what else?) unrated logo, this piece of garbage is destined to go down in the annuals of Shock Video Magazines as an even more embarrassing to Wes as his most current movie offerings. The traditional who-done-it with terrible acting, and an even worse storyline. This leaves us wondering, why would Wes put his name on this awful movie? The logical answer would have to be the obvious: money. Run from this mega-professional LP Speed video now!
