Dark Water Reviews

If I were to build a car, a gorgeous and solidly designed automobile and it didn't have an engine; then I failed in a fundamental way.

The acting was great, what little interest I had was carried by it's strong cast and I found myself caring more for the real-life drama more than the ghost. The supernatural was an interruption rather than what the film should have been about.

Bottom line, want scares? Well, you will find an absolutely none. Want a decent drama about a woman on her own? You'll find here and oh yea...there is this ghost problem.

Because it was a failure in what it set out to do, it wasted two hours of my life with it's utter dullness.( Made worse than normal since I was expecting a thriller.) Please Hollywood, stop lying in your advertising.

It is probably one of the most disappointing movies I have seen... Indeed, before watching this flick, even though I wasn't expecting anything amazing, I thought it would be, at least, a decent horror movie like 'The Ring', for example. Indeed, there was a terrific cast (Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Tim Roth, Dougray Scott, Pete Postlethwaite), a very good director (Walter Salles) so all the necessary ingredients were there for a good time. Eventually, it wasn't really awful, it was actually rather visually interesting but the whole thing was just really slow and honestly rather boring to behold. During the whole thing, I didn't care at all about the characters and what they were going through. Furthermore, I hoped during the whole thing to be a little bit scared but I was only hit by boredom... To conclude, in my opinion, it is one of the most disappointing horror movies I ever seen and it is not really worth a look, even if you are a fan of this genre.
