PLEASE WATCH "DARK WATER" JAP VERSION UTBE, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN AT HOTEL CECIL W ELISA LAM

EVEN THE ELEVATOR SCENENS ARE EXXACTLY THE SAME.
SAME ANGLE AND EVERYTHING.

SHE CANT GO UP OR DOWN, CANT CLOSE THE ELEVATOR,
SAME SHIT.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

IT LOOKS ALMOST IDENITCAL TO THIS MOVIE.

I'M NOT SAYING 'GHOSTY SHIT" WENT DOWN THERE,

BUT THERE IS SOMEONE FOLLOWING THIS SCRIPT VERY CLOSELY.

Haven't seen it but want to now, good call op

cant watch it now

is there other crimes that happen in the movie
was there a reason....what there a disease like tb in the movie..

NO. but the mother does die when she discovers the truth about the little girl in the water tank.
no happy ending here.

there is some vague part about the dead girl tho.
the school officals said she might have been abducted by
"PERVERTED INDIVDUALS"

and one of the floors in the hotel is named after
the mother's ex husband,
who desperately wants custdidy of the mother's little girl.
like they are subly saying the father is a pervert and killed the other little girl.(but they dont really go into this)

the message is:
if you find out the truth,(girl in the water tank)
you will die.

Thank you for the summary in both your posts.
Sounds creepy for sure.

I generally prefer to avoid casual man-hating stuff. As well as casual anti-white racist stuff. It's so common, so I don't watch a lot of stuff.

But oddly I don't feel I am missing anything, other than aggravation.

The film opens in 1974, as a young girl, Dahlia, stands outside after school in the rain, waiting for her mother.

Flash forward to 2005, we see a grown-up Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly) in the midst of a bitter mediation with ex-husband, Kyle (Dougray Scott), over custody of their daughter, Cecilia (Ariel Gade). Kyle wants Cecilia to live closer to his apartment in Jersey City, but Dahlia wants to move to Roosevelt Island, where she has found a good school. Kyle threatens to sue for full custody because he feels the distance is too great. He also claims that Dahlia is "mentally unstable."

Dahlia and Cecilia see an apartment in a complex on Roosevelt Island, which is just a few blocks from Cecilia's new school. The superintendent of the dilapidated building is Mr. Veeck (Pete Postlethwaite). The manager is Mr. Murray (John C. Reilly). During the tour, Cecilia sneaks to the roof where she finds a Hello Kitty backpack near a large water tank. They leave the bag with Veeck, and Murray promises Cecilia that she can have it if no one claims it. Cecilia, who had disliked the apartment, now wants desperately to live there. Dahlia agrees to move in.

Shortly after, the bedroom ceiling begins to leak dark water. The source is the apartment above, 10F, where the Rimsky family lived up until a month ago. Dahlia enters 10F and finds it flooded, with dark water flowing from every faucet, the walls and toilet. She finds a family portrait of the former tenants—a mother, father, and a girl Cecilia's age. Dahlia complains to both Veeck and Murray about the water, but the former does little about it despite the insistence of the latter. Dahlia soon has dreams of a little girl who appears to be Cecilia returning from a visit to her father's home, but the girl's appearance changes every time Dahlia looks away, so that she looks like the girl in the portrait in 10F.

Cecilia has started school, but according to her new teacher (Camryn Manheim), she isn't fitting in and is spending too much time with an imaginary friend, named Natasha. A psychologist is recommended, but Dahlia declines and tells Cecilia to ignore Natasha. Although Veeck had said it was claimed, Dahlia discovers the Hello Kitty backpack in the laundry room's garbage. Cecilia later finds it in the elevator. The name in the backpack reads "Natasha Rimsky".

The ceiling, shoddily patched by Veeck, leaks again. At school, Cecilia appears to get into a fight with Natasha, who appears to control her hand while painting. She's taken to the girls' bathroom where she passes out after dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. Dahlia, who is meeting with her lawyer, can't be reached, so Kyle picks her up and takes her to his apartment.

Dahlia breaks down when she can't find her daughter and has strange dreams. These lead her to the roof and up the ladder of the water tank, where she finds Natasha's body.
