Reviews for Dark Water
Esteemed Brazilian director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") falls flat on his face on his first Hollywood outing with a horror movie that will bore you to tears.

Unfortunately, the supernatural element is underplayed to the extent that the story almost became nothing more than a domestic drama.

This murky urban ghost story about a possible haunted hi rise of horrors, basically lets the all-natural creepiness already native to its NYC landscape just do its deadly thing, likely intensified by 9/11's architectural carnage.

A moody, quirky movie that, although flawed, is worth a walk to the theatre in a gentle rain.

The gore-free Dark Water tries hard to establish a creepy atmosphere, but instead winds up being slow moving with not much happening.

A mature film about the courage it takes to survive in a mortal world that's dependent on temporary relationships.

Equal parts quiet, creepy, tragic, and visually gorgeous, Dark Water might be one of the best movies of 2005 that nobody went to see.

I found Dark Water slow and gloomy, with a lengthy buildup to a less-than-satisfying conclusion.

Un filme bien hecho, mucho mejor actuado y que, a pesar de ser innecesario, logra firmemente su cometido.

A top drawer cast working with a bottom drawer screenplay confirms my distaste for Japanese ‘girl, long black hair and water’ horror movies.

The movie isn’t so much scary as it is unsettling, but the script lets viewers off the hook with a climax that’s both incoherent and preposterous.

Se você valoriza a construção consistente de um clima de melancolia e tensão, dificilmente se decepcionará.

[E]xecuted just about as well as it possibly could be … 'Dark Water' sinks under the weight of its rampant and … laughable predictability.
