Dark Water (Unrated

Great movie 🎬

Faithful remake of Hideo Nakata's J- Horror original is to my mind the better film.A separated mother and her young daughter move into a dingy apartment on the forbidding Roosevelt Island, New York and are soon being "visited" by the daughter of the previous tenants of the apartment directly above them. Brooding atmosphere,excellent performances, well paced and directed with sensitivity by Walter Salles this is a fine example of the "ghost story". People of limited attention seem unable to differentiate between a well told story and ..hey when's the next death.This is the former.If you are not touched by the ending then you are either dead, 16 or really don't get movies.

Ok, it's a modern ghost story about a little girl who was abandoned, drowned, in a New York apartment block, and returns to haunt the new tenants. But it's Jennifer Connolly at her best; and it's entirely set on Roosevelt Island, which sits in the East River facing Manhattan, but is shunned by New Yorkers because it has nothing but project housing (council blocks) and once had an asylum or leper colony on it; and you get to it by the funicular from Manhattan, which is the opening shot. Beautiful, sad film; and a little-known account of New York.

Very well acted. Never quite sure because of the mother's terrible childhood whether she is really seeing supernatural manifestations or just imagining it. Also we don't know what her pills are for. I thoroughly recommend this.

I enjoyed this! It was different to your average supernatural horror. The actors were good (how do they get children to act like that?!) I also loved the setting. Worth a look.....

a mother in the beginings of a divorce moves to a bad block of flats where the water is always leaking and the daughter has an invisible friend,which as time goes by the mother has a dream and goes on the roof to find the little girl that went missing some time a go drown in the roof water tower,but the mother has to make a gruesome choice as the spirit of the girl is drowning her daughter the mother chooses to be the girls mother for life,leaving her daughter behind,a good film

I have given this DVD 5 stars because it is a really enjoyable movie. It starts off pretty slowly, however, you get gripped in the storyline. I would highly recommend this DVD.

Was agift for my daughter so can’t give any feedback sorry .

excelente pelicula de terror, creo que me gusta mas que la japonesa de donde sacaron la historia para hacer estya nueva version

Très bon film, jamais vue la version originale du Japon. Mes la version américaine est vraiment exelent, et me rappelle de très bon souvenirs.

When beautiful Dahlia (Jennifer Connolly) goes through an ugly divorce and custody battle with ex-husband Kyle (Dougray Scott) over their daughter Ceci (Ariel Gade), she decides to move to Roosevelt Island in order to live closer to the best school for their daughter. Kyle doesn't care for Dahlia's decision but is unable to stop her from moving into a horrid and weirdly disturbing rent-controlled apartment complex, sprawling and psychologically dark. John C. Reilly plays landlord Mr. Murray, an overzealous and officious man who prefers to avoid problems with the large complex once pushing the hard sell to its tenants. He repeatedly passes off Dahlia's problems to the building's super, Mr. Veeck (played by Pete Postlehwaite), a cantankerous old man without an ounce of friendliness and more than a little odd. In Dahlia's tiny, dilapidated apartment, in spite of recent paint and both Veeck and Murray's promise of considerable work done, the ceiling in the bedroom begins leaking dark and murky water. Veeck blames it on two juvenile delinquents who break into the empty apartment above and vandalize it. Then Ceci's new teacher (played by Camryn Manheim) informs Dahlia that Ceci has an 'imaginary friend' and is becoming antisocial within the classroom. Ceci's behavior inside the darkly unsettling complex becomes more and more bizarre, leading Dahlia to discover an unlocked door to a roof without a railing and a rusted water tower menacing the filthy rooftop. Dahlia starts to wonder why she is having dark dreams, dreams of her own childhood, and why Ceci is infatuated with 'Nastasha', the girl who lives upstairs. But the apartment upstairs is empty and flooded with gruesomely fetid water, the same water leaking into Dahlia's apartment, so Dahlia forces Veeck to tell her the truth about the absent family from above. 'Dark Water' is a very good psychological thriller. The performances of Jennifer Connolly and Dougray Scott (two of my favorites), along with Pete Postlethwaite, Camryn Manheim, and John C. Reilly are exceptional, their talents bringing justice to the dilapidated and unforgiving eeriness of the apartment complex. The nastiness of the unclean water is presented so expertly that I could actually smell its foulness. Dahlia's slide into depression and anxiety is very well portrayed as she questions her own sanity in the mess that has enveloped her and Ceci's lives. The overall creepiness of this movie definitely deserves five stars, along with the photography, script, editing, and director Walter Salles. 'Dark Water' is not the fast paced gore-fest us horror aficionado's enjoy, but the stealthy and creeping terror of unstable minds, decrepit architecture, a slow slide into madness, and the unworldly forces of the dead pushing their way into our lives. A nice surprise awaits you at the film's conclusion, also. I definitely believe this movie is worth a purchase. Enjoy!
