Being a huge Far Eastern cinema fan, especially when it comes to horror, I’ve seen the original Dark Water a number of times and quite sincerely rate it over Ringu, so it’s with great interest I’ve been watching the news of the US remake (one of many remakes of perfectly brilliant eastern horrors). Well now we have some news, Script-o-rama directed me to the trailer for the movie. Take a look.
Have you seen the original? How do you think this is going to compare? I thought the trailer showed a lot of promise with similar visuals and ideas. Sript-o-rama are quite scathing about the idea of being involved in the movie and are quite hard on both director and star, Walter Salles and Jennifer Connelly respectively.
I’d tend to disagree, if they do this well, they could have another major hit on their hands, and if it’s anything like the original, something that’s off the beaten track for Hollywood. Please, if you get a chance, see the original first.
