Review of Dark Water (2005) by Craigb. — 22 Aug 2005
To start with, the camera work was awful. Cuts were clearly visible and the 'purpose' cuts added no effect whatsoever. The acting from Jennifer Connelly was atrocious, such a poor performance from who I believed was a quality actor.
With the director attempting to create a build up of tension and suspense by delaying a "jumpy" bit for a long while. This however backfires, with the audience I was with getting restless, waiting for something to happen.
Where is the point in having a 'ghost' who does nothing but leave a few taps running? There is no fear generated by this mystery person. The plot itself is very poor. The 'little girl with imaginary friend' movie has been done so many times, so in order to be good, it must be very good.
Im going to leave my rant here, but I recommend you do not see this movie.
