Dark Water (Hollywood remake)
-
From the poster babe with thick eyebrows to a powerhouse of an actress, Jennifer Connelly delivers a performance as good as Kuroki Hitome in the original Japanese movie. And the little child actress who plays her daughter in this one has a sweeter and sunnier disposition than her Japanese counterpart.
Director Walter Salles, fresh from "The Motorcycle Diaries", gives this remake a more credible plot, but the creepy feeling I had when watching Nakata's original was no longer there. Maybe it is the music. Maybe it is the raincoat.
Horror fans looking for heart-stopping moments may be disappointed, but personally, this dark movie was still better than Nakata's recent Hollywood remake of his own sequel to "The Ring". -
wow, Jennifer Connelly. any ideas when it will hit our shores?

From the time it took "Samara" to reach Singapore, 1 to 2 months maybe?

The little girl played by Ariel Gade:

Mother and daughter
Mother and janitor

As a drama movie, the strong cast would have made the movie a compelling watch. As a horror movie, the movie just didn't seem creepy enough. When it comes to recent movies, so far only "The Sixth Sense" was able to deliver on both accounts. -
will hit our shores on 29/9.
