About

'The ambiguity of Dark Water is in determining whether a true haunting is being witnessed or whether we are seeing the mental decline of a struggling solo mum going through a messy divorce. Even without seemingly supernatural occurrences, the apartment block they move to looks like it belongs in an outer circle of hell. Yoshimi had a prior breakdown working as a proof-reader of violent and sadistic horror novels - her husband is on the lookout for any reason to get custody of Ikuku. Dark Water is an adaptation of a novel by 'the Japanese Stephen King', Koji Suzuki, who also wrote the Ring films.' Melbourne International Film Festival
