Dark Water

• Directed by Walter Salles
• Starring Jennifer Connelly
• Based on a film by the Japanese creators of "The Ring", this is the story about a newly-divorced mother and her 5-year-old daughter. They rent a cramped and worn apartment in Roosevelt Island and hope to start a new life, only to find that there is mysterious "dark water" in the apartment. Despite the fine performances of Jennifer Connelly and other casts, this ghost movies is not so haunting. One of the reasons, I guess, is that the ghost in this movie is a young pretty girl. There is no creepy ghost or ugly corpses like in "The Ring" movie.
