How may movies has Don't look now influenced?

After seeing this movie I couldn't help but think this must have been favorite movie for many other cult directors. Dario Argento for example. The overall stylish cinematography and building of suspension etc. Even that scene in the end with "child facing the corner" was pretty much 1:1 on end climax of phenomena.
Even the whole premise of movie resembles Lars Von Triers Antichrist movie.

Am I totally off the tracks here? Any other movies that clearly got some influences from dont look now? Anyhow this movie seems bit underrated considering it was made 1972 and still holds up pretty well. Way ahead of its time. (unless you have attention span of gerbil whom hollywood bockbusters are made these days)

The most famous examples are Out of Sight which copies the fragmented sex scene and Flatliners which exploits the Sutherland connection but there are many others which Wikipedia has fully documented: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Look_Now#Influence

Hahah, I just read the wiki article, funnily enough In Bruges was the first film I thought of! As well as the reference in the script and the other bits cited in the article there's also the ending with the "dwarf-mistaken-for-child" theme which makes Ralph Fiennes character shoot himself.

"The Comfort of Strangers" is very heavily influenced by Don't Look Now.

That rings a bell, strongly, will look it up on here and see if I have, as I believe, actually seen the film....Yes! long time ago but I definitely have seen it, as soon as I read Christopher Walken was in it, and it was a Paul Schrader film, I thought: "yup, that's the one!"
Will hafta rewatch it thanks so much for the reminder! All the best!

Cronenberg's 'The Brood' is a different film all together, but it has the same evil one under the red hood, in numbers as well, and it seemed like a clear reference to this film.

Re: How may movies has Don't look now influenced?

Sam Raimi's film The Gift and his quick cut editing style in general remind me of Don't Look Now. He also cast Roeg's widow Theresa Russell in one of the Spider-Man films. I'd say he was a big fan.

Roeg (as of this writing!) is still alive! Didja mean ex-wife?!

Alice Sweet Alice (1976), Eyeball (1975) and Saw (2004)

Natural Born Killers is another one which appears to have been influenced by this, with the quick cutting and dissolving

Flatliners.

Kieffer Sutherland (Donald'd son) has visions of being stalked by a boy in a red hoodie!
