Can anybody think up of some more films that closely resemble Don't Look Now? I don't particularly mean horrors so much as I don't think Don't Look Now is a horror. Film's like Solaris (1972) Does that film resemble Don't Look Now? What other films are there??? I'm thinking of films which match in story, photography, cuts, colour, acting, music etc.
If its a foreign film the better.
I don't think Don't Look Now is a horror.
The early films of Roman Polanski (Repulsion, Cul-De-Sac)
The early films of Peter Weir (Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Last Wave)
David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Inland Empire, and maybe Eraserhead
Peeping Tom
The Wicker Man
Jacob's Ladder
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
^ all horror films, btw
I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food.
The two films closest to Dont Look Now like someone already suggested are Profondo Rosso and Suspiria both by Dario Argento. Especially Profondo Rosso which is produced in Rome and has the same feeling like Dont Look Now.
After that you can watch The Tenant by Polanski which is an excellent psychological thriller but little bit different and more complicated.
I was just about to say what Michael Galiatsos said above...
The movie which MOST reminded me of this was The Tenant by Polanski. similar haunted vibe, ambiguity, grungy European setting, etc.
As well as Argento's stuff. Thats a bit obvious actually.
The classic avant-guarde short film "Meshes of the Afternoon" is the grandaddy of all "see them only out of the corner of your eye" specters. I am sure the mirror faced aperation in that film is an influenced on the red jacketed dwarf in this.
And its weird, In Bruges was mentioned above. I thought a few scenes reminded me of that as well. Not sure if that has anything to do with the content, more just the setting i think.
Forgot to add the recent indie film "The Oregonian" deals with some similar material.
shareFirst thing that comes to mind for me is Alice Sweet Alice. Both movies feel like living nightmares, they're so surreal.
Recently viewed films:
The Tall Man (7/10)
Martyr(s) (4/10)
Resident Evil: Retribution (3/10)
Lars von Trier's Antichrist
The Shining
Flatliners
The Changeling
Who Saw Her Die?

I'm going to say Santa Sangre, as far as tone is concerned. I had the same disembodied sense of sadness watching both these films
Robert Altman's Images definitely belongs on this list...

clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...
Try Zentropa (aka Europa)
shareThese don't *closely* resemble it, but these films somewhat resemble it, remind me of it, or else I think people who like this film may like them. I don't think these have been mentioned already.
The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane
Wake Wood
Audrey Rose
Diabolique (Personally I like the 1955 French version, but the remake isn't bad)
Bunny Lake is Missing
Dark Water (2002, the Japanese one)
Also Lost Highways and Mulholland Drive are not like this movie, but if you like the other movies on the list in the second post, you might like them too.
Lake Mungo resembles Don't Look Now with regards to the theme of a death forewarned and a family coming to terms with grief.
The suggestions from other people show how wide the influence of DLN is....
In being dreamlike weird and disquieting I would say:
- La casa dalle finestre che ridono
- Zeder
- Teorema
- Il giardino delle delizie
- La proprietà non è più un furto
- Le orme
- Sans mobile apparent
- Il sorriso del grande tentatore
- L'uomo, la donna, la bestia
- Arcana
Also, the far inferio Chi l'ha vista morire (out one year earlier) has the Venice setting and much of the atmosphere in common, as well as the weirdness of secondary characters, which is a landmark of Italian giallo in general
