Nakata Hideo’s Dark Water is a more muted study in melancholy than Ring, which four years earlier had brought the director fame and ushered in the J-horror film invasion. Where the earlier film’s most indelible image is a lank-haired ghost girl emerging from a television set, Dark Water largely keeps its most spectral imagery in the background and slightly out of focus, evoking the slow-burn technique of John Carpenter’s Halloween.
In the midst of a difficult divorce, Matsubura Yoshimi (Kuroki Hitomi) is forced to move into rather dilapidated digs with her young daughter, Ikuko (Kanno Rio). During the course of a divorce-related interview, it’s revealed that Yoshimi spent some time in a mental facility before her marriage, owing to overwork as a proofreader of “brutal and sadistic” literature. This of course opens up the possibility that subsequent experiences of a supernatural kind may be attributable to her unstable personality,...

The live-action version of the manga of the same name, director Hong-Seung Yoon’s Knuckle Girl, is the story of a promising young boxer named Ran Tachibana, who gets into trouble trying to uncover the mystery behind her sister Yuzuki’s apparent suicide. The film follows the action thriller template and plunges into a world of crime where evil men won’t ever stop and corrupt cops mean they won’t ever be caught. In such a world, good people like Ran have to take up the mantle and decide how to fight them. The film is an immersive experience that tries to bring the manga to life, not only keeping us engaged through its vivid color palette and kickass action sequences but also delving into the philosophy of violence versus crime.
