Yoshimi Matsubara fights to gain legal custody of her five year-old daughter Ikuko while the two live together in a dark, sullen and musty apartment building.

Though she desperately struggles to find the strength within herself for Ikuko's sake, her horror intensifies as she comes closer to discovering the connection between these events, and is completely unprepared for the truth that lies ahead.

Dahlia Williams and her five-year-old daughter are ready to begin a new life together. But their new apartment--dilapidated and worn--suddenly seems to take on a life of its own.

Una mujer que intenta mantener la custodia de su hija de cinco años se traslada con ella a un modesto y lúgubre apartamento. Pronto comenzarán a suceder extraños fenómenos en los que el agua sucia parece cobrar vida propia. Detrás se esconde la terrible historia de la desaparición de una chica años atrás
Directed by Walter Salles Jr., this remake of Hideo Nakata's supernatural psychological drama Honogurai Mizuno Soko Kara revolves around the plight of a single mother (Jennifer Connelly) whose messy divorce and subsequent battle for the custody of her five-year-old daughter is taking a heavy toll on her emotional well-being. Ultimately, the mother and daughter are able to relocate to an apartment, which, despite its excessively dilapidated interior, seems to be an adequate location for beginning a new life. Before long, however, what appears to be the spirit of a young girl begins to haunt them. No stranger to mental illness, the wary young woman brushes the visions aside as part of the inherent stress of making the transition from housewife to working, single mom. As time goes by and the apparent haunting does not subside, the apartment's new residents are forced to examine the history of its former tenants. Dark Water also features performances from John C. Reilly, Tim Roth, and Dougray Scott.

"Gathering together the same team that lead to the enormous success of horror sensation RING, DARK WATER marks the director's first return to the horror genre in a number of years. The film itself, proving to be a huge success, was quickly snapped up by Hollywood into a remake starring Jennifer Connelly. From the strange knocking sounds in the rainwater tanks, creeping dark stains on the ceiling to the black hair flowing out of the taps, RING fans will certainly not be disappointed with this dark creepfest. The story follows a single mother, Yoshimi, who struggles both with finances and the custody of her 5 year old daughter Ikuko. They move into an apartment in an old run-down complex designed with complete "creep" factor in mind. Everything seems fine until she notices a mysterious stain growing across her ceiling. From that point on, Yoshimi starts seeing and hearing strange things around the complex. Is she simply losing her mind or is she able to unlock the secret that seems to lurk in the water?"--Container.
