Film Description Japanese king of horror Hideo Nakata delivers another bone-chiller. Gripping and terrifying, nothing is taken for granted and like Ringu, certain scenes will leave you quivering.

Review by Barry Forshaw on 4th December 2003 In spine-chilling Dolby Digital 5.1; and DTS Digital Surround 5.1 this is a powerful dose of Oriental horror from the director of Ring, as disturbing as the many other entries we’ve seen in this burgeoning field. There’ll be a dud Hollywood re-make (as with Ring), of course, so this is the way to see it. Yoshimi loves her daughter, Ikuko, more than life, and will battle her husband in court to keep her custody. They plan a fresh start in a new apartment until water mysteriously starts to seep through the ceiling and flood their lives with the constant drip, drip, drip of fear. With constant rainstorms outside, they are in danger of being drowned out by the building’s terrifying secret. Director Hideo Nakata has chilled spines internationally with the horror classic Ring and has injected new imagination into the horror genre. Dark Water delivers a genuine frisson.

Review by Graeme Hobbs on 4th December 2003 This might well go against the grain but I just don't think that real psychological fear can take place in oh-so-carefully composed widescreen with the music on the soundtrack giving us cues about when to feel scared. I watched the last half of the film on 4 x zoom and suddenly all the edginess of Ring was back; I had the feeling that something was lurking off-camera (admittedly it probably was) and the character's faces told me far more about fear than the fact that the picture composition was balanced. Suddenly it was an interesting film again. View more reviews by Graeme Hobbs
