Movie Review
Stephen and I rented the DVD Dark Water last night and I have to say:
Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What a boring movie! The plot was boring, the characters were boring and the scary music was even more boring. I'd seen the ads on TV for the movie while it was in theatres and it looked great. Really scary, which I love. But the truth was that we were almost to the end of the movie and I still didn't know what kind of "scariness" we were dealing with.
You know what I mean? Usually, you get some kind of idea whether you're watching a movie with an actual scary-killer bad guy in it, or perhaps demon ghosts, or maybe even the wacko hallucinations of a screwed-up main character. Not this film. Instead, I ask Stephen if perhaps I'd dosed off and had missed a huge chunk of it or something. Nope, just a shitty movie.
The scary bits weren't that scary and the rest of it, story-wise, was very reminiscent of The Ring. You know, creepy young female character... lots of water, death and drowning.
Been there, done that. And The Ring was way better.
