Dark Water

Director Walter Salles surprises with his choice of genre, after his last movie (critically acclaimed "The Motorcycle Diaries" about the forming trip across south america that Che Guevara took). But he manages to deliver the same visual style in a more commercial film. The movie isn't much of a fright, but delivers as a drama with a supernatural twist. Jennifer Connelly shines and charms in a roll not very different from her performance in "The House of Sand and Fog" the little girl being the obvious difference. Overall a great looking picture that follows the rend of Japanese remakes, (The Grudge, The Ring, White Noise, etc.) original in it's own little way. A great DVD rental for a rainy afternoon.
