Their A.D.D.-addled brains couldn't sit still long enough to decipher the complex plot points or to appreciate good character-building (something sorely lacking from movies nowadays.) Comparing this movie to "The Ring" is like comparing "Godfather" to "Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer." The movies are in two completely separate genres.
And if you do have those preconceptions and are unwilling to give them up, the movie will drag on mercilessly for you.
As I left the theater, all the adults (most of whom didn't know each other) were talking about what a great movie it was as we filed out the doors.
DarkWater is the American version of a film with the same English title from 2002, written and directed by Hideo Nakata, and based on the novel from Koji Suzuki, the author also responsible for the "Ring" novels.
Water is seeping through the ceiling in her bedroom, water from the faucets turns dark in color, and the landlord (Reilly, The Aviator) insists that a plumber isn't necessary, having his super (Postlethwaite, The Lost World) perform some shoddy patchwork to remedy the situation temporarily.
DarkWater is one of those movies where, even if you were to suspend your disbelief about the existence of supernatural events, it has an implausibility factor in the common things that mars the ability to properly enjoy it on its own simple terms.
