There’s horror and then there’s psychological horror. I find the latter to be the most delicious kind. The trailer we spotlight today on BSC is the sort of psychological horror that would make Vincent Price roll over in his grave and grin ear to ear. The French language film is called Don’t Look Back. It features a Jekyll and Hyde story that is something much more subtle, something much deeper and more terrifying. A beautiful wife and mother portrayed by former Bond Girl and Braveheart flame Sophie Marceau is seeing someone else in the mirror lately. She’s seeing another beautiful woman, as portrayed by Monia Bellucci (The Matrix: Reloaded & Revolutions).
Don’t Look Back is directed and written by Marina de Van (8 Women, In My Skin) with the help of Jacques Akchoti. Believe it or not, the French have a proud history when it comes to horror, even if many of the best known projects are more blood and guts and less psychological. Some of the most memorable include 2005’s Cache, 2004’s Saint Ange (House of Voices) and 2001’s Brotherhood of the Wolf.
