Don\u2019t Look Now! It\u2019s The Ghost of Donald Sutherland\u2019s Daughter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more week has passed, moving us one step closer to that holiest of holidays, the day to which we\u2019re counting towards: Halloween. Last week<\/a>, we started with the most ubiquitous of horror films in Stanley Kubrick\u2019s adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s \u201cThe Shining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, I\u2019d like to take us down a darker, more abstruse path with a somewhat little-known film by once famed cinematographer turned filmmaker Nicolas Roeg<\/a>. The film in question is the Donald Sutherland-Julie Christie starring psychological horror film \u201cDon\u2019t Look Now.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tNow, if you\u2019re saying to yourself, \u201cI\u2019ve never heard of this movie, why should I care?\u201d I have one thing to share with you: this movie has one of the most frightening, surprising, goosebump-inducing endings in horror movie history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, despite its relative obscurity, the moment in question ranked number 22 on Bravo\u2019s list of \u201c100 Scariest Movie Moments,\u201d<\/a> beating out scenes from \u201cPet Sematary,\u201d \u201cRosemary\u2019s Baby\u201d and \u201cNosferatu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tNow, I\u2019ll be honest, I picked this film because it is one of my favorites. It\u2019s beautifully filmed; Roeg, the film\u2019s director, cut his teeth as a cinematographer for the likes of famed \u201cbad filmmaker,\u201d Roger Corman\u2019s Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, \u201cThe Masque of the Red Death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
