Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Wes Craven's name is prominently displayed on the promotional material for Don't Look Down, but the veteran horror filmmaker did little beyond executive-produce and lend his marquee value to this 1998 made-for-TV thriller. It's too bad, because Craven might've made something from this bland creepshow; in its current form, it's competently made but completely forgettable. Megan Ward stars as Carla, who is left with a crippling fear of heights after her sister falls to her death from a cliff. To combat her phobia, she joins a controversial support group, but soon after, members of the group begin dying in mysterious falls. Carla believes that she might be the next victim and suspects that the killer is her sister, returned from the grave to avenge her death. Decent performances and direction can't overcome a surfeit of red herrings and false scares, and Don't Look Down is best reserved for non-discerning suspense/supernatural fans. Artisan's full-screen DVD offers no extras. --Paul Gaita

DON'T EVEN BOTHER.......2005-11-07
WHAT HAPPENED TO WES?? POOR WES CRAVEN.. THIS MOVIE IS BAD LIKE A TOOTH ACHE..
Dont Watch It...........2005-05-31
Megan Ward (PCU) and Billy Burke (Along Came A Spider) stars in this totally dry, empty horror...hey I shouldnt even say horror, because it's neither scary nor suspenseful, its just plain dull to the bone. While posing and taking pictures by a ledge, a girl falls over but Ward catches her and then the girl suddenly cant hold on any longer, so the girl slips falling to her cheesily constructed death scene. Soon after, Ward starts to suffer from fears of heights. Looks like one of those afterschool teen movies kinda with the sploppy camera work and acting as if rubbing two pieces of sand paper together by ones ears. Not much here really and the very disappointing thing is that Wesley Craven put his name on the title. Craven, tsk, tsk, oh well, I can forgive him...he however went on to present a much more better movie then this called Dracula 2000 a couple years later.
Awsome!.......2004-04-03
A different Craven movie is a thriller and not a horror movie has almost no gore.
DIZZYING FILM.......2004-03-17
Poor Wes Craven...since his main claim to fame is the Freddy Kruger series, you'd think he'd try and do more on his own, instead of adding his name to films to obviously attract his fans. Fans of Craven certainly won't enjoy this "suspense thrilelr", as there is hardly any gore, no demons in the night. However, if Craven had taken this on himself and had a higher budget, and a more fitting cast, DON'T LOOK DOWN could have really been an effective shocker.
As it stands, Billy Burke steals the show as Megan Ward's sympathetic husband, who is trying to help his wife through a devastating fear of heights, caused by the untimely death of her younger sister. Megan Ward is reminiscent of a high school thespian, using overblown theatrical gestures and speeches to play Burke's wife. However, for a made for t.v. thriller, it's entertaining and particularly chilling to those with a fear of heights.
as good as it can be.......2003-11-04
