This film just doesn't blend in with other Wes Craven films. While it has a nice story line, minimal blut & guts, I do not think this is what true Wes Craven fans were thinking when they happened upon this. I saw the blood on the front cover & read the back and thought it would be a "normal" Wes Craven film, such as others with blood & gore, a decent plot, but all the horror I look for in a Wes Craven film. I was greatly let down & would like to let people know if you are looking for a horror filled flick, this is NOT the film for you. This has minimal gore, minimal violence and a high ability to bore you if you are seeking horror. However, if horror is not your thing and a good plot with some mild depressing losses (the loss of a sister) is what you are looking for, then here is your film!

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.

This movie is where Wes Craven's name was abused to the fullest. I saw the box, said to myself "Wow, a Wes Craven production I never knew about.." and promptly rented it. To my horror, I saw a movie that not only had the cinematographic quality of a Porno movie, but the acting was comparable as well. The plot and characters were pretty much a blatant rip off of an episode of any daytime soap opera. Why would anyone do something that lame????
The soap opera cliche' plot is this: A girl, her sister, and her husband are taking pictures at a beautiful overlook and her sister falls off the cliff, and begs her sister to save her .... blah blah..... dies.... blah blah...... surviving sister becomes afraid of heights..... blah blah...... series of murders she thinks the ghost of her sister is behind....... blah.... sorry excuse for a plot twist..... blah blah blah....bad ending. There is no point on earth to EVER EVER EVER EVER see this horrible piece of cinematic excriment. I am thoroughly saddened that Craven even let his name be soiled by this movie, and I almost cannot like him subconsciously because I can't think of his name anymore without thinking of that movie. I WISH there was a way to remove the memory of DON'T LOOK DOWN from my head, and I urge you to avoid this movie at all costs or it will cause you to have uncontrollable narcicistic rage for the rest of your life.

i love watching movies had to check this one out yet again billy burke was in it.

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.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WES?? POOR WES CRAVEN.. THIS MOVIE IS BAD LIKE A TOOTH ACHE..

A different Craven movie is a thriller and not a horror movie has almost no gore.

THIS IS THE BEST WES CRAVEN MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT HAS MINIMAL GORE AND RELIES MORE ON STORY AND ACTING.
THE STORY IS VERY GOOD AND THE MOVIE KEEPS YOU ON EDGE.
THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE ONE CAN ASK FOR!!

i liked this movie but it was boring. nothing special.
