Review of Dark Water

Dark Water (2005)
2/10
Why? Why? Why???????
13 July 2005
I cannot figure why the trend to re-make another Japanese horror flick. Okay, The Ring was good, Ring 2 okay, but the trend is getting ridiculous. I give Dark Water a 2, only, because Jennifer Connelly is a good actress, otherwise the film should have been named Shallow Water. The plot has no depth, the threat is minimal, and the characters are depressing. Has the film industry forgotten how to create a good horror flick that they have to borrow movies from other countries? And they are not even that great of movie. I know I own some of them. Recently, I heard that once again they are coming out with another re-make, this one called The Ghost. I can only imagine. My girl friend after viewing Dark Water, looked over at me and said, "Do you think I could get a refund on the last two hours of my life?" I think it's time to step up to the plate and start putting out some quality horror/supernatural films. Jennifer Connelly, we love you, but the film stinks.
