Dark Water
Stayed up late last night to watch another Hideo Nakata film. "Dark Water" is the fourth film I've had the fortune to see by the director of the original "Ring". The other's being "Kakashi", and "Chaos" ("Chaos" is still my favorite.)
Nakata is a master of the slow burn. As such his movies probably are not suitable for most western audiences, but if you have the patience to stick with it by the end of the movie you will be well rewarded. As my friend Tim says: "big payoff!".
The film is very reminiscent of "The Shining". Remember the twins? This movie ranks up there with "Ring" and "The Eye" as scary shit.
While I'm talking about scary movies have you ever noticed that most people don't know how to go about watching a horror film? You have to be prepared to allow the film to work it's magic. It's just not going to work if you don't:
- sit in the dark
- make sure you're not distracted
- turn off your cell phone (or watch late at night)
- give the movie your full attention!
Good horror movies are just not that easy to come across. Don't waste them.
