This was one of the strangest horror film I ever watch. I really didn't get it. I think this movie could've done better then it did. I think Jennifer Conelly did a good job, but the movie wasn't good.

Dark Water is a very realistic,believable and emotional story that is absolutely fantastic.It is more of a ghost whisperer type of flick and not really much of a horror.Amazing performance by Jennifer Conelly who puts so much emotion into this film.The situation and storyline is very well put together.Each character is easy to buy into and understand.The film doesn't have many scares but a very good storyline and great acting makes that issue unimportant.I see a lot of similarities to The Ring and so will you.Dark Wateris better than The Ring though because Dark Water is easier to believe.If anyone likes either The Ring or Ghost Whisperer then Dark Water will completely please you.It's a brilliant drama with a supernatural twist.

This is a dull movie. Sorry, but there really isn't much to the story. Almost immediately the whole tale is spilled like a broken water main because it's so cliche that it's obvious. The only saving grace was the hope of a secondary story that involving Jennifer Connelly's past, but that story never reaches any fruition, expect to be a pain in her side when dealing with her divorce.
Pete Postlethwaite and Tim Roth good. John C. Reily, is getting typecast, I'd like to see him do something different, but that said, he's good here. Jennifer Connelly's breakdown is the best part of the movie. Ariel Gade is very good, there were a few genuine moments for her.
In my opinion the direction is too fast paced, the creepy slowness of the story should have been played out slower, with less dialog and more just plain eerie events.
