Dark Water (2002)

The place: A run-down tenement block in Japan

Des Res?: OK, we’ll admit the setting is not the most luxurious, and the apartment is a teensy bit on the damp side, but it’s probably the best we have available for the budget-conscious single mother.

The Eek Factor: It's hard to know what's more upsetting: the stories about a girl disappearing or the building's plumping problems.

There’s no stopping that water getting in and by god it’s vile stuff: filthy brown gunk. 

You certainly might want to check the water tank on the roof before you drink any of it.
