Year: 2002
Plot: “A mother and her 6 year old daughter move into a creepy apartment whose every surface is permeated by water.”
I have been wanting to watch this movie since I read The Ring by Koji Suzuki. This is of course based off Dark Water, one of his other books. I was finally able to see it, and I am happy that I got to. It turns out that you can really tell that it was written by Koji Suzuki.
This movie wasn’t scary in anyway. The thing is though that it really didn’t have to be for me. I had already expected not to be scared. Many people had already told me it wasn’t going to be, so I wasn’t too surprised. I was also told though that it was also a very slow movie. This one though didn’t really come into play. Sure it takes awhile to get to the resolution, but it certainly has a lot of things to keep you interested in what is going on. At no point did I consider turning off the movie because it was slow.
The ending to this was kind of sad actually. This isn’t something that is unheard of in Asian horror though. I wasn't as surprised to find a sad ending rather than those I am used to in many American horror movies.
I do suggest this movie to many. If you want something scary though, I suggest you save this for another time. It is a really good movie, but it lacks any real scary parts. This is one that you should watch when you just need something to occupy you, not something really scary.
