Dark Water - Comments & Tips

**The Good**: + The final 5 minutes of **Rafael Edholm's** horror thriller are actually well done and, well, thrilling - but it is too little and definitely too late. **The Bad**: - The cheap and horrible soundtrack playing in the background almost continuously - it feels like a nasty headache that never goes away. - The supposedly inventive shots that in reality are distracting and pretentious. - Several sweeping shots that never serve a purpose in telling the story. - The acting is below all standards - and **Helena af Sandeberg** is usually good in most of her roles. - The terrible, terrible, terrible fake jump scare sequences that NEVER suit a serious horror movie these days. - Probably the most idiotic script I have ever come across; terrible dialogue (it is obviously never taken seriously by any of the actors), and a plot that is empty and pointless from beginning to end. - Lifeless and unlikable characters without backstories. - Sloppy production and no real grip on the direction - more of an insult to the audience. - The ending has no point whatsoever. **Verdict**: Do not bother.
