Dark Water from Japan. Young woman in the midst of a nasty divorce moves into a seemingly deserted apartment block with her six year old daughter (no one but they seem to live in the building)which is (of course) haunted. A six year old disappeared a few years earlier and both the woman and her daughter are haunted by her. Scares and tragedy ensues.
I know a lot of you really like it but I yelled at least three times at the screen: "why are you doing that you silly bitch!"-- yes it's creepy but not so much after seeing Ringu...too many similar elements as other Japanese movies of the genre (not surprising, as it's based on a story by the same author of Ringu).
Water and vengeful female ghosts with long hair. Feh.
Happier with Twilight with an all star cast including Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, Liev Schrieber, and Reese Witherspoon. A mystery with Newman as a former cop, former private eye, and former drunk who now resides with the couple for whom he took a last job--both are fading actors and absorbed in each other (Sarandon and Hackman). Some good characters, especially Gloria. M. Emmett Walsh, that old character actor who often plays private eyes gone bad, makes a (brief) appearance. Enjoyable movie. Part of my appreciate Paul Newman series ;-).
