Two Eyes Staring (Zwart water) (NR)

synopsis

The dark wave of ‘J-horror’ that started with The Ring and The Grudge quickly changed the face of Stateside chillers, and now European directors are discovering the power of clammy, damp nastiness. A grippingly confident psychological thriller about a young family who move to an old mansion in the Belgian countryside -- where 9-year-old Lisa befriends a little girl who ‘lives’ in the basement -- this outstanding Dutch example has already attracted remake queries from Hollywood. Real leave-a-light-on stuff.
