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

I was horribly disappointed when I went to watch this movie and it was not at all what critics had said. This movie was written by the authors of the ring and they were too similar. The Ring and Dark Water... Full review

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

Ceci's new imaginary friend adds to Dahlia's woes, and when things get nasty in the custody battle, she gets herself a lawyer (Tim Roth).
Dahlia Williams (Jennifer Connelly)'s strained separation from her husband (Dougray Scott) disintegrates into a bitter custody battle.

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.
