	Midnight Eye review: Dark Water (2002, Hideo Nakata)
		The book was Wang Shuo's "Don't Call Me Human"; I knew then that I had a ghost.
		In the program for Dark Water he states, "If you were to ask me whether I love horror from the bottom of my heart, I would have to say no." But there's no denying that he excels at making creepy films, Dark Water included.
		Dark Water is a victim of its good points.

	Dark Water - Suzuki Koji
		Water is the common element to all the stories in Dark Water.
		The use of water -- a drip in the ceiling, onto the stage, a leak and flood in the stories above -- is effective, a nice contrast to the open-sea stories preceding it.
		The open sea, dark cave-rivers, a water tower, or a simple bathroom leak: there's enough variety, used to different effect, to prevent the collection from becoming a mere set of variations on a theme.

	Dark Water (JAPAN 2002)
		That is definitely NOT the case in Dark Water, and the decision made in the climax may leave a few viewers puzzled.
		Dark Water is a very cathartic film and will probably have more of an emotional impact on viewers who come from divorced families themselves.
		Dark Water is an engaging and emotional thriller with a low body count and high intellect.

	Review: Dark Water (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Dark Water is the latest in the gaggle of Japanese ghost stories turned into major American motion pictures.
		Dark Water is slower moving than The Ring, but no less atmospheric and a lot less convoluted.
		The most effective aspects of Dark Water are the interactions between mother and daughter, and the scenes depicting Dahlia's struggle with her sanity.

		This was the case in Dark Water, made by Nakata in 2002 and based on a book by Koji Suzuki, who wrote Ringu.
		The real custody battle is with the child in the yellow coat, the malignant ghost who controls the dark water seeping in from all corners.
		A big water tank on the roof suggested a womb; the seepage became like amniotic fluid.

	Dark Water - original movie, book and ending theories - Page 2 - Snowblood Apple Forums
		I actually read the book first so was quite surprised when I saw the movie which differs quite a lot from the book, especially the ending.
		In the book of short stories, which I got a while ago, but wouldn't read till I had seen the movie (good move, the movie's stroy is so much better and conclusivce than the book's) the story is similar in places and a lot different in others.
		Dark Water in my opinion is extremely under-rated by a lot of people.

	Dark Water
		"Dark Water" is a remake of a 2002 Japanese thriller, which was directed by Hideo Nakata, who made the Japanese films that "The Ring" and "The Ring Two" movies were based upon.
		Platzer is his name, and his faltering, questionable work habits (he appears to work out of his car) are against type for his portrayer, Tim Roth, who’s usually the bad guy and in complete control.
		Strong supporting performances run throughout "Dark Water." Camryn Manheim ("The Practice") is a concerned teacher at Ceci’s school and provides a bright spot in the story.

		The bottom line is that this book is not intended as a textbook, nor is it meant to be a "definitive" accounting of Beatles history (as was the Bob Spitz book, for example), nor is it advertised as such.
		this book is really good from start to finish....the only thing i can say is that i pity the author....no one will ever really know what she went through unless they experience it for themselves, but you cant help but pity her...she has no sense of identity or self-respect.
		His book is memorable because of its touching portrayal of his relationships with his father, his mother, and the rest of his large and loving extended family.

	Dark Water (2005): Jennifer Connelly, Ariel Gade, Dougray Scott, Pete Postlethwaite - PopMatters Film Review
		The more anxious Dahlia becomes, the more she fears that she is unable to "handle it," the more the dark, soppy, unruly apartment resembles her state of mind.
		Dark Water hits this dysfunctional mother nerve more than once, particularly in her spats with Kyle, which insinuate an awful marital history even as they suggest that it's her perspective shaping the scene.
		Being a horror movie (and a very good-looking one, even for all its tricks and annoyances), Dark Water can't grant her a solution, or even much of an objective correlative for her suffering (Platzer is more a distraction than a plot mechanism).

		I haven't even read the book yet, and can't wait to, but having read "Same Blood" by the author, I recognize that the main character is one of the characters from that book.
		Be advised that the book slows down about a third of the way through it; I had to put it down for a while.
		Although Blakeslee hits the target in the second half of In Dark Water, her consistent effort to embody the plot in needless details made me "suffer through" the first half.

		Japanese director Hideo Nakata put himself on the map when his movie version of Kôji Suzuki's book, the Ring (which had previously been adapted into two TV shows) was released and became a cult horror hit.
		The movie is set in the middle of a messy divorce as the highly strung Yoshimi Matsubara (Hitomi Kuroki) fights for custody of her five year old daughter Ikuko (Rio Kanno).
		But Dark Water is still head and shoulders above most Western movies in terms of plot depth, atmosphere, acting and shockingly original scenes.

	Metromix. Movie review: 'Dark Water'
		Connelly, as she also showed in "House of Sand and Fog," is expert at conveying this kind of modern isolation and familial breakup and dread.
		Dahlia's hardships are so real and "Dark Water" is shot in such an intensely subjective style that the mounting fears are accentuated, doubly disturbing.
		"Dark Water," far more mainstream, shows again what a superb director he is of naturalistic, socially conscious, humane and sensitive cinema.

	Dark Water (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		[Spoiler Warning] Ultimately, Dahlia discovers that the cause of the mysterious dark water that saturates her apartment is a young girl named Natasha who was abandoned by her parents and accidentally drowned in a water-storage tank on the apartment's roof.
		In addition to her command of water, Natasha also has power over the apartment's elevator, which she uses to bring people to the abandoned top floor of the building.
		Even as Ceci convinces her skeptical mom to rent a dark, dingy apartment, we're internally screaming, "Don't do it!" We don't know, exactly, what's going to happen, but we know whatever is causing such mysteriously massive leaks of brackish water can't be good.

		But things start going wrong when water begins leaking in from the apartment above, which is supposed to be vacant, despite the footsteps she and Ceci regularly hear.
		In one of the many interviews on the disc, one of the movie's producers describes Dark Water as a "Roman Polanski movie," and he's right: Both here and in Rosemary's Baby, we're given a heroine about whose mental state we're not completely sure until outside events begin corroborating what she thinks she sees.
		If nothing else, when you learn that Connelly had to loop all her lines in that final scene because of the noise of the water around her, it gives you a better appreciation for what these folks went through making this movie, and greater appreciation is what this movie needs all around.

		Nakata certainly can't be blamed for going with what works, but if Dark Water seems at first like a cynical recycling of a successful formula, its director has developed into enough of a formalist to at least make it reasonably compelling.
		After massive success with the "Ringu" movies, Hideo Nakata tackled another of Koji Suzuki's novels: the dark, dank horror novella "Dark Water." While the acting is top-notch and the direction is pretty good, the film has some of the worst dubbing I have ever heard.
		Its only flaw is rotten drinking water and a leak in the middle of the bedroom ceiling.

		Dark Water is Hollywood’s third attempt, after 2002’s breakout hit The Ring and last year’s maladroit The Grudge, to adapt a popular Japanese horror film for American audiences.
		The first Dark Water was no great shakes, but its director, Hideo Nakata (who also helmed the original Ringu) has a genuine knack for off-centre compositions.

	SoundtrackNet : Dark Water
		Alejandro Amenábar's The Others might have raised the bar a little and James Newton Howard's The Sixth Sense and Signs certainly qualify as intricately laced suspense works making use of subtle themes and interesting progressions, music which can be appreciated outside of the scenes it accompanies.
		Angelo Badalamenti's work on Dark Water sadly does not hold to this kind of scrutiny and falls short of interest.
		And, obviously, one cannot ignore Hans Zimmer's beautifully restrained work for The Ring, a movie with obvious stylistic and literary ties to Dark Water.
