Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA color dye usually used in concentrated gels for soft drinks was added to the water to turn it to a dark color. Flat and expired soda pop was also used for dark and filthy water.
- Goofs(at around 1h 20 mins) A square hole is cut in the apartment ceiling to fix a pipe causing a leak. There is a shot from inside the ceiling, looking down to the floor past the pipe and through the square hole. Dahlia enters the room looking up at the newly repaired pipe. She is obviously barefoot. She hears a noise and we cut to a shot looking down a hallway where there are wet footprints and someone hurriedly clearing the hallway to turn right out of shot. Curious, Dahlia immediately follows the noise. She is now making shoe-noises as she walks and as she climbs some stairs we see she is now wearing laced-up running shoes when just a second before she was barefoot.
- Alternate versionsUnrated version adds one scene (dream sequence) but removes the dream/reality scene (where Dahlia dreams that her daughter returns from her father) and the scene where Ceci calls Dahlia. In the end the unrated version runs ca 1 minute shorter.

Featured review
Loneliness is the main theme of this wonderful movie
I have seen Dark Water several times. I've always loved Jen Connelly's performance. This is NOT a real horror movie or better It's much more than this.
Loneliness is the main theme of this movie and this makes this movie both great and sad at the same time. Everyone in the movieexperiences loneliness and sadness for a reason or another. Frankly I don't understand some very low ratings.
