I saw Dark Water as part of a Horror Film retrospective as the NFT. Mark Kermode was co-curator and introduced a few films, including Audition which i saw a few days before Dark Water. I found Dark Water to be a much better and scarier film than Audition. The claustrophobic cinematography and the constant dampness and sense of decay of the building in which the action takes place, provide the ideal stage for this grabbing and chilling ghost story about motherhood.
