Pretty Good
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Has anybody seen the DVD menu? whats up with that rock n roll music in it? i mean.. isn't it a drama or horror movie? and whats up with the trailers LOL IT MADE ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF and the angry girl showing her bloody teeth, i never saw any blood in the movie The script is somewhat fine. But this kind of movies make me laugh just to think its supposed to be serious.. Actually you should see the DVD, you'll have some fun for sure. just don't expect it to be a serious movie, because it ain't, if you're sarcastic and realistic. And it didn't surprised me that her husband was the bad one, whatever.......................................................
Right from its thrilling opening sequence,"Don't Look Down" managed to keep me engrossed all the way. The story, when everything is revealed at the end, is rather old stuff (many have called it predictable, though the ending is just one of several possible outcomes that cross a viewer's mind), but the movie is very well-shot, especially considering its made-for-TV "credentials", with a really committed performance by Megan Ward. Just try to forget that Wes Craven's name was in any way associated with it (which is what most viewers have failed to do, thus their disappointment); it is vastly different from his usual output.

What a waste of time!!!There are few movies around that are so bad that you feel disappointed for those who had to work on it. I rented this movie because the words "Wes Craven" were plastered all over the cover. I foolishly thought that this would be a genuine thriller but I was oh so wrong. What I saw was a dreadfully boring and completely un-needed piece of cinematic embarrasment.The movie is about a person with an extreme fear of heights due to the loss of her sister over a cliff... This "plot" plods through until about 10 minutes before the end when we get one of the worst and most innappropriate "twists" that makes one want to jump off a cliff also.I think the best word for this film is innappropriate, or even better, not-needed. My head explodes thinking of so many better ways that this money could have been spent. I put myself in the position of someone who was editing the film, I think I would have turned to the rest of the film makers and said "umm, guys, this really is umm ORDINARY, perhaps we should cut our losses and move on..."Seriously, I think it is time we had movie police, we should not have to waste our time and money on this crap. I am furious that I now have to go and pay for this movie and I now have a chronic fear of selecting movies.
When I first started watching this film, I thought "oh no, not another low budget, waste of time", but actually I changed my mind after about ten minutes. It was a good story (although very predictable), but one that you have to watch right till the end, just to confirm what you have already figured out. However, I do have to say that although I predicted everything about this film, much to my dad and sisters' annoyance, I thought the ending was good.
