10 More Horror Movies So Sad You Can Only Watch Them Once
9. Don't Look Now
Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now is one of the most ingeniously crafted and impressively experimental horror films ever made.
It's a film that begins as it means to go on, opening with the drowning death of John and Laura Baxter's (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) young daughter, firmly setting the bleak tone for what's to come.
Don't Look Now isn't merely an examination of grief, but also the impact that loss can have on a romantic relationship in particular.
There is much humanity to be mined throughout this film, but it is of the crushingly tragic kind, all the way up to its quite literally self-fulfilling prophecy of a conclusion.
It is a heavy, mature film that weighs on the soul, but thankfully a single viewing is likely to make such an indelible, potentially lifelong impression that you won't feel compelled to seek it out again - at least not for a damn good while.
