Well I never had much hope once I learned that they were going to make Dr Doom into the jilted third party in a love triangle with Sue & Reed, instead of the nefarious ruler of Latveria who dabbled in the occult and melted his face off.
Tonight my mother-in-law baby sat, so Christina & I saw Dark Water. It's not nearly that bad & manages to create a real pervasive sense of dread without cheating too much. Good acting pretty much across the board, from John C. Reilly, Pete Posthelwaite, Tim Roth (nicely cast against type) and not least Jennifer Connolly & the young actress who plays her daughter. The ending leaves a bit to be desired, but up until the last 15 minutes there are still numerous ways in which you can imagine the plot going & you'll probably guess quite wrong about it if you try.
I didn't read any reviews until just now, after returning from the film, and to my astonishment Mick LaSalle has written a review that I agree with nearly 100%. Seriously, if you like his review you will enjoy the movie.
Is this a sign that the apocalypse is upon us?
