Dark Water
Last night, watching the original Japanese version of Dark Water (or if you prefer, Honugurai Mizu no Soko Kara).
Sitting on the couch with the lights off, and the house otherwise very quiet and still.
Watching the movie intently as the woman and her daughter's dingy apartment becomes permeated with dripping water, accompanied by a creepy little girl ghost.
DRIP!
"Oh my god, did you hear that?"
"I thought it was the movie?"
"No, it came from over there."
DRIP!
"There it was again! Pause the movie!"
DRIP!
"What is that?!?!"
"I dont know I don't know I don't know!"
DRIP!
"Find out!"
DRIP!
DRIP!
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!
[blind terror ensues]
Turns out the plant I'd watered about 20 minutes earlier began overflowing its tray, so that the water had began seeping out onto the bar counter, and little by little dripping onto the floor, in exactly the spot where, coincidentally, I'd left our little ceramic doumbek drum when I was tidying up some stuff before.
I couldn't have set that one up that well on purpose no matter how hard I tried. And of course, it didn't help that the Japanese version of the movie is about 50 billion times scarier than the sort of lame Hollywood remake.
