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
This is a Remake of the 2002 Japanese Horror Movie. The plot is pretty simple , a mother who is fighting custody over her daughter moves with her to a new apartment. The people in the building are strange, there's are leakage in their room and her daughter finds an imaginary friend soon....
The good aspects of the film is that it doesn't have any CGI ghosts or any evil looking spirits and yet it has an creepy feeling throughout. It is slow moving yet engaging. We have real middle class people with real problems which gives it more of a human drama than a typical horror stuff. Performances are good . There's more emotional connect than scary scenes. However the film could have been short, some scenes are absolutely no need especially the dream sequences are very unnecessary. There's not much to complain about ....it not an awesome film but it's pretty good for what it is and what it tries to be and is definitely an underrated horror drama .... Definitely worth a watch...
