Don't Look Down
After a terrible accident, Carla develops a debilitating fear of heights. She joins a counseling group headed by Dr Paul Sadowski, an unconventional therapist who presses people to confront their fears. However, his methods come into question when his patients begin to suffer mysterious accidents.
Why it matters
A tense psychological horror that explores fear as both a crippling force and a weapon, wrapped in late-90s paranoia about therapy and trust.
- A slow-burn atmosphere thick with dread, anchored by strong performances that sell genuine terror without cheap scares.
- Dr. Paul Sadowski’s unorthodox methods tap into the era’s fascination—and fear—of psychotherapy gone wrong.
- For fans of character-driven suspense and the “therapy as horror” subgenre, echoing the likes of *Session 9* and *The Sixth Sense*.
- Practical effects and cleverly staged accidents build tangible menace, avoiding overreliance on CG that dates other late-90s thrillers.
