Don't Look Now
"Don't Look Now" has been much admired by and an influence on subsequent filmmakers. Danny Boyle cites Nicolas Roeg as a key influence on his work and counts it amongst his favourite films, considering it to be "one of the masterpieces of the last century". Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, and Jeremy Dyson drew upon "Don't Look Now" considerably for their television series "The League of Gentlemen"; Pemberton ranks it among the top three British horror films of the 1960s and 1970s, and says that he wants things he has written to make audiences feel the way he felt when he watched "The Wicker Man" and "Don't Look Now". Similarly, Ryan Murphy considers his TV series "American Horror Story" to be a throwback to '60s and '70s psychological horror, citing "Don't Look Now", "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Shining" as particular examples. Thematic and narrative similarities with Lars von Trier's "Antichrist" have also been observed, with "Antichrist's" cinematographer, Anthony Dod Mantle, commenting that he has watched "Don't Look Now" more times than any other film. Fabrice Du Welz, whose film "Vinyan" has often been compared to "Don't Look Now", has stated that it is a film he is "obsessed with", and one of his favourites, while Lynne Ramsay cited it as an influence on "We Need to Talk about Kevin", which incidentally is also produced by Roeg's son, Luc. Ami Canaan Mann has also acknowledged she was influenced by atmospheric thrillers such as "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and "Don't Look Now" while directing her debut feature, "Texas Killing Fields", and Ari Aster acknowledged that it was a key influence on "Hereditary".
