Dark Water

I watched Dark Water last night. If you like Hitchcockian thrillers in the vein of Vertigo, rent it. Apart from a couple of moments that made me say “what? as if that would happen!”, it was a very enjoyable 105 minutes. The pacing was good, and the fear of protagonist Dahlia (played by the ever-beautiful Jennifer Connelly) was palpable. Not a fan of the ending, which seemed a bit grafty, but it doesn’t take much away from an otherwise great film. Put out the light for maximum effect. 7.5/10.
