Don't Look Up (女優霊, joyū rei, lit. Ghost Actress) is a 1996 Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata. The film is set in a film studio where a war film is being made.

The film was made by Hideo Nakata while trying to fund production for his documentary film about director Joseph Losey. It was not a success in Japan, but prompted an English-language remake in 2009 which was directed by Fruit Chan. The film also influenced the creative choices Nakata would have for his popular film Ring in 1998.
