- A TRUE classic for TRUE horror fans!
I endorse everything said by previous reviewers in acknowledging the power, beauty and sheer creepiness of this film classic, hence the 5 stars. Equally, I am appalled at this new DVD version that can offer such poor quality sound and would give it only 1 star if it were possible to rate the sound separately. The earlier release from Warner in 2002, though not brilliant sonically, is still preferable to this travesty. The message is - if you have the previous version, hang on to it. If you haven't, ...

- Completely ruined by the soundtrack
Well this classic thriller certainly looks good, the editing is crisp and the mood sombre and threatening BUT, and it's a huge but, the film is completely ruined by the appalling soundtrack: only one word in ten is clear. The actors' words swoop, boom and drop to an inaudible whisper. It sounds as if it was recorded on a faulty dictaphone in a public lavatory. No reputable company would release this and expect people to pay good money to buy it. I cannot imagine what Nicholas Roeg's reaction would be ... Read More
Rating: - Gothic Masterpiece
Hitchcock used an example to explain the difference between surprise and suspense. If people are seated at a table and a bomb explodes, that is surprise. If they are seated at a table, and you know there's a bomb under the table attached to a ticking clock, but they continue to play cards -- that's suspense. There's a bomb under "Dont Look Now" for excruciating stretches of time.
I was expecting this slow-moving movie to descend into routine shock and horror movie,but it doesn't. ... Read More

- what the hell happened to the soundtrack?
A classic film, doubtless. But as for this DVD - well, the picture quality is lovely, but the sound is AWFUL - harsh, trebly, distorted! Is that really the best available audio track for this film?! What went wrong? It really is poor enough to make the dialogue hard to understand at times - and to make things worse, the DVD has no subtitle option.
Rating: - Definitely Do Look Now
Why Don't look now is frequently referred to as a horror film is something I've never understood. "Psychological thriller' is perhaps more accurate although the horror of losing a child, which is the basis for this superb film, is indisputable. The director Nicholas Roeg referred to it as 'an exercise in film grammar', and that is probably the most accurate description.
This film had a profound effect on me when I first saw it on release and its power has never left me, in fact it's still up therre ... Read More
