It’s best known for introducing us to the lovingly smashed … Continue reading
Dark Water is perhaps the scariest leaky ceiling movie ever made. This American remake of the ghost story from Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata (Ringu) stars Jennifer Connelly as a single mom dealing with an ornery ex-husband, a creaky new apartment, and an unsettled spirit who makes it rain indoors (probably making it difficult to get … Continue reading
