Horror Vault's take

Amid the stress of a bitter divorce and custody battle, a mother moves with her young daughter into a rundown apartment block where something feels deeply wrong. Water seeps and spreads in ways that defy explanation, and a growing sense of dread hangs over every dripping ceiling and flooded hallway. Director Hideo Nakata crafts a suffocating ghost story that uses mundane domestic anxiety as its true horror. The film is as much an emotional portrait of a struggling mother as it is a chilling supernatural mystery.
