DARK WATER
SYNOPSIS
Acclaimed director Walter Salles ("Central Station,"
"The Motorcycle Diaries") helms and Academy
Award®-winner Jennifer Connelly stars in DARK
WATER, a psychological thriller featuring a stellar
cast, including Academy Award®-nominees John C.
Reilly, Tim Roth, and Pete Postlethwaite, as well as
Dougray Scott and newcomer Ariel Gade. Based on a
film by the creators of the Japanese version of "The
Ring" comes this haunting, chilling film about a young
mother who goes to extreme lengths to solve a
mystery and protect her daughter. Dahlia Williams
(JENNIFER CONNELLY) is starting a new life; newly
separated with a new job and a new apartment, she's
determined to put her relationship with her estranged
husband behind her and devote herself to raising her
daughter, Ceci. But when the strained separation
disintegrates into a bitter custody battle, her situation
takes a turn for the worse. Her new apartment –
dilapidated, cramped, and worn – seems to take on a
life of its own. Mysterious noises, persistent leaks of
dark water, and strange happenings cause her
imagination to run wild, sending her on a puzzling and
mystifying pursuit to find out who is behind the endless
mind games. As Dahlia frantically searches for the
links between the riddles, the dark water seems to
close around her. But one thing trumps all others in
Dahlia's world: no matter what it is that's out there,
she'll stop at nothing to find it.
