Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA color dye usually used in concentrated gels for soft drinks was added to the water to turn it to a dark color. Flat and expired soda pop was also used for dark and filthy water.
- Goofs(at around 1h 20 mins) A square hole is cut in the apartment ceiling to fix a pipe causing a leak. There is a shot from inside the ceiling, looking down to the floor past the pipe and through the square hole. Dahlia enters the room looking up at the newly repaired pipe. She is obviously barefoot. She hears a noise and we cut to a shot looking down a hallway where there are wet footprints and someone hurriedly clearing the hallway to turn right out of shot. Curious, Dahlia immediately follows the noise. She is now making shoe-noises as she walks and as she climbs some stairs we see she is now wearing laced-up running shoes when just a second before she was barefoot.
- Alternate versionsUnrated version adds one scene (dream sequence) but removes the dream/reality scene (where Dahlia dreams that her daughter returns from her father) and the scene where Ceci calls Dahlia. In the end the unrated version runs ca 1 minute shorter.

Featured review
Really dark...
"Dark Water" is a movie which has to do with a mother and daughter who are still wounded from something that happened and they can not move on with their lives. Another thing of this movie is that something were wrong with their apartment and water run-down on it.
I liked this movie because is a really different horror movie from all the other movies that I have watched. I also liked the plot and the whole storyline of it and especially the drama of this mother. I believe that Jennifer Connelly who plays as Dahlia makes a really nice interpretation as also John C. Reilly does. I think that Walter Salles did a really great job in the direction of this movie and this is something that is really obvious in whole of the movie.
Finally I have to say that the difference of the plot in this movie is something that makes "Dark Water" more epic.
