Dark Water Reviews
That fatal flaw that this shares with the original is the best part of the film being in the initial plot-revealing 20 minutes. From here, it fails to build on the tension.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2019
This dank, dark and disturbing psychological horror film is a remake of a Hideo Nakata chiller, but the film it most evokes is Roman Polanski's Repulsion, another tale of mental instability and bad real estate.

The supporting characters, in fact, are the most enjoyable part of the film, often more enjoyable than Connelly or Gade, each taking great advantage of their scenes to create real people in a short space of time.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 18, 2011
Evolves from a supernatural mystery to a truly sad tragedy...

Esteemed Brazilian director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") falls flat on his face on his first Hollywood outing with a horror movie that will bore you to tears.
| Original Score: D | Apr 16, 2009
Unfortunately, the supernatural element is underplayed to the extent that the story almost became nothing more than a domestic drama.

This murky urban ghost story about a possible haunted hi rise of horrors, basically lets the all-natural creepiness already native to its NYC landscape just do its deadly thing, likely intensified by 9/11's architectural carnage.

A moody, quirky movie that, although flawed, is worth a walk to the theatre in a gentle rain.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2006
The gore-free Dark Water tries hard to establish a creepy atmosphere, but instead winds up being slow moving with not much happening.
Full Review | Feb 14, 2006
A mature film about the courage it takes to survive in a mortal world that's dependent on temporary relationships.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 11, 2006
Equal parts quiet, creepy, tragic, and visually gorgeous, Dark Water might be one of the best movies of 2005 that nobody went to see.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 27, 2005
I found Dark Water slow and gloomy, with a lengthy buildup to a less-than-satisfying conclusion.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 22, 2005
Un filme bien hecho, mucho mejor actuado y que, a pesar de ser innecesario, logra firmemente su cometido.

A top drawer cast working with a bottom drawer screenplay confirms my distaste for Japanese 'girl, long black hair and water' horror movies.
| Oct 16, 2005
The movie isn't so much scary as it is unsettling, but the script lets viewers off the hook with a climax that's both incoherent and preposterous.

Se você valoriza a construção consistente de um clima de melancolia e tensão, dificilmente se decepcionará.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2005
[E]xecuted just about as well as it possibly could be ... 'Dark Water' sinks under the weight of its rampant and ... laughable predictability.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 2, 2005
A watered-down version of the Japanese original, Salles's remake is still an enjoyable, atmospheric horror flick, with strong performances from its cast.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 31, 2005
