## Resource

Today Griffey and Dandino try to stay afloat in the 2002 J-Horror classic, Dark Water. We discuss the film's use of the horror of single motherhood, the comparisons and differences with Ringu, and how this little ghost's lonely backstory will break your heart. Synopsis: A mother going through a divorce moves into a run down apartment with her daughter. A persistent leak from above, visions of a missing girl, and other eerie phenomena become increasingly menacing as clues to a past tragedy come to light. Starring: Hitomi Kuroki, Rio Kanno, Mirei Oguchi Directed by Hideo Nakata Youtube: https://youtu.be/FIHbd-nW7Dc Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
