Uh-huh, he directed that film.
Josh YoungHOST
He also directed a film called Dark Water.
Josh YoungHOST
Have you seen that one? It's a horror film adapted from a Japanese horror film.
Josh YoungHOST
No, I don't think so.
Movie GuruHOST
A short film called Ring, set between The Ring and The Ring 2, was also released in 2005.

Brett TalleyHOST
And Dark Water often come to mind when thinking about J-horror.
Brett TalleyHOST
But what makes these films stand out from the list of scary movies filling our screens each October? Well, part of it is their reliance on psychological tension versus blood and gore.
Brett TalleyHOST
These movies create a building sense of dread.
speaker_4HOST
No, not at all.
David PaulidesGUEST
So one more pretty odd one, circumstance, coincidence, is that there's a website that drew a correlation between the facts of Elisa's case and a tank with a movie that was called Dark Water.
speaker_4HOST
Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind when I read about this case because I had seen that movie.
speaker_4HOST
Oh, well, tell us about it.
Kyle BirdHOST
We are doing our second episode of the night, and let's get through this thing.
Kyle BirdHOST
We are talking about Dark Water.
Kyle BirdHOST
So the last couple years...
Kyle BirdHOST
I've been kind of doing more efforts to get into more modern...
Kyle BirdHOST
And yeah, I think that Sort of after seeing how good the Ring movies were doing, Kadokawa was kind of like, okay, what else do we have? What
speaker_3UNKNOWN
else you
Kyle BirdHOST
got? And Dark Water is more or less the result.
Kyle BirdHOST
Has anyone read the short story? It's in a collection called Dark Water, but the story that Dark Water the movie is based on is Floating Water.
Alex DandinoHOST
The, it was, it w-
GriffeyHOST
Jennifer Connelly was in Dark Waters.
Alex DandinoHOST
Yeah, Jennifer Connelly was in Dark Waters.
Alex DandinoHOST
Kristen Bell was in the one where the, the internet overco- overtakes you and, like, makes you, like, I don't know, like, pulls you into the wall or something like that.
Alex DandinoHOST
I don't remember.
J.R.HOST
He also did Paranormal with the girl named Everybody Like, who's kind of skinny now.
J.R.HOST
She was in Dark Water.
J.R.HOST
She was in a bunch of movies.
J.R.HOST
With the blackout.
Josh AvesteHOST
That's what, that's what it's been told.
Josh AvesteHOST
That was what was alleged in the film anyway.
Joey KnightHOST
And is that some kind of sinister dimension?
Josh AvesteHOST
I don't know what sort of dimension it is, but it would transport you to somewhere else.
Josh AvesteHOST
Again, I wanna know the sort of the ghostly logistics.
Josh AvesteHOST
It's very difficult to ascertain that.
Josh AvesteHOST
And then finally, believers in the occult curse pointed to a bizarre, near identical parallel to the 2005 horror film called Dark Water.
Josh AvesteHOST
Now, Joey, have you seen this film?
Black Box NedHOST
And there is one final thing that I'll share with you guys, and that is that Elisa Lam, uh, went missing, and then she was found dead.
Black Box NedHOST
And a lot of people point to a film with Jennifer Connelly called Dark Water, and they're saying that this is a movie that really seems very similar to Elisa Lam's death, where a girl dies on the water tank, there's problems with the water pressure, the water turns black, and then Jennifer Connelly's character gets more or less haunted by a ghost.
Black Box NedHOST
And some people point out that the daughter in that movie is wearing a red coat, and Elisa Lam was wearing a dark red sweatshirt when she went missing.
Black Box NedHOST
And there's even one scene in the movie Dark Water where you can see the ghost behind a pane of frosted glass, and the ghost looks like it's wearing Elisa Lam's clothes, which is most likely just a dark, uh, red overcoat or some type of schoolgirl's outfit.
Black Box NedHOST
Of course, it's not really Elisa Lam's clothes.
Black Box NedHOST
They made that movie before Elisa Lam went missing.
Black Box NedHOST
But some people think that Elisa Lam took her own life because she was recreating a scene from the movie Dark Water.
Black Box NedHOST
I admit that there are similarities.
Andrew JupinHOST
Shot in the dark here.
Andrew JupinHOST
