Eerie Drama

What Dark Water lacks in thrills, it does make up for in mood and wonderful performances, especially from Jennifer Connelly as the stressed out single mother trying to keep her wits about her after learning her apartment is haunted by a child's ghost. Expect less of a horror film and more of a drama and you'll be in the right headspace.

Tension builder

All through the movie I was never really sure if the main character was actually crazy or if there was really something supernatural happening to her. Once the reveal is shown as to what is actually happening you definitely get a fake out for a soft ending. Then once the actual ending comes I was left speechless because in my mind that is not how I wanted the movie to end. All in all it was a very good movie and very good acting. If you haven't seen it give it a watch.

Not Scary In the Least, but Well Done

It's easy to understand why so many people appear to have issues with Dark Water. For a film billed as a horror film right during the huge glut of Asian ghost movie remakes, it doesn't have a single scare that works. What it does offer are strong performances by the entire cast, but especially Jennifer Connelly as a struggling single mother who moves her and her young daughter into a trashy apartment building that's haunting with the spirit of a vengeful little girl. If you look at it as more of a tense psychological drama, you might be more apt to enjoy it for what it is.
