Dark Water (2005) 6/10

Starring : Jennifer Connelly, John C Reilly, Tim Roth, Dougray Scott, Ariel Gade
Director : Walter Salles
Running Time : 104 mins

Dahlia Williams (Connelly) and her daughter move into a cheap new apartment following a messy seperation. The building is extremely run down, and there's a severe leak coming from the apartment upstairs. When her daughter starts to behave strangely, her teachers' saying she has a new imaginary friend, Dahlia becomes concerned that something about her new home isn't quite right, and begins to investigate just where the mysterious leak is coming from...

The Americans once again take a pretty good Japanese horror and give it their own unique treatment. Thankfully, this was better than The Ring, and still maintained at least some of the atmosphere of the original.
