I was not sure what to expect to see about this one. I did not like the original too much, I found it to be way too slow. This one was not too slow, it made more sense, and was very... Full review
Great Movie, Bad Advertising

I adored this movie. But I think that most people are mad at this movie because they were expecting a horror/thriller. This is because in the commercials/trailers they try to pull it off like it's a very scary movie. It's not.... Full review

This is a horror movie that is finally worthy enough to call a horror movie. The movie is very dark and let's in no type of humor, which is good. The story is about a family who moves into an apartment... Full review

Not worth the time or money! This movie was the least-scary thing I have seen since Pocahontas. I don't see how people are giving it such great reviews. I have seen way, way, way, WAY better horror movies. My gosh, I... Full review

I must say I utterly hate critics,who could possibly understand their logic? They give awful movies good grades like A's and B's like for instance "DARK WATER". And they give bad grades to the good movies,worth to see. Dark Water was... Full review
Dark Water Is Dark, Maybe Not Enough For Some

Don't believe the stuff in the trailers about Dark Water. Dark Water isn't a horror movie, it is a drama with supernatural undertones. On this level and probably only this level is where you can enjoy this movie. The story does... Full review

Unfortunately, "Dark Water" is totally dependent on atmosphere and an often-artificial tension that simmers on slow-boil for most of the filmand I mean ponderously slow. Jennifer Connelly is superb as the shell-shocked Dahlia, who has that visible numbness that affects people whose relationships have just come to a surprising end. ... Full Review
