After terrifying audiences worldwide with the J-Horror classic RING and its sequel, director Hideo Nakata returned to the genre for this atmospheric tale of the supernatural. Based on a short story by RING author Koji Suzuki, DARK WATER follows Yoshimi (Hitomi Kuroki), a single mother struggling to win sole custody of her daughter. When they move into a new home in a dilapidated apartment complex, Yoshimi begins to experience startling visions and unexplainable sounds, calling her mental well-being into question and endangering not only her custody case but perhaps her and her child’s lives as well. Beautifully shot by Junichiro Hayashi (RING, PULSE) and featuring especially unnerving sound design, DARK WATER merges spine-tingling tension with a family’s heart-wrenching emotional struggle.
