NEW UK/US TITLE: Dark Water Dual-Format Blu-ray and DVD

One of the very finest and most unsettling contemporary Japanese horror films.

Pre-order your UK copy direct here: Dark Water Dual-Format Blu-ray & DVD
Pre-order via Amazon.co.uk: http://amzn.to/29Tf5wx

Synopsis:

After terrifying audiences worldwide with the blockbuster J-horror classic Ring and its sequel, director Hideo Nakata returned to the genre for Dark Water, another highly atmospheric, and critically acclaimed, tale of the supernatural which took the common theme of the “dead wet girl” to new heights of suspense and drama.

Based upon on a short story by Ring author Koji Suzuki, Dark Water follows Yoshimi, a single mother struggling to win sole custody of her only child, Ikuko. When they move into a new home within a dilapidated and long-forgotten apartment complex, Yoshimi begins to experience startling visions and unexplainable sounds, calling her mental well-being into question, and endangering not only her custody of Ikuko, but perhaps their lives as well.

Beautifully shot by the same cinematographer as Ring and Pulse, and featuring an especially unnerving sound design, Dark Water successfully merges spine-tingling tension with a family’s heart-wrenching emotional struggle, creating one of the very finest and most unsettling contemporary Japanese horror films.

As far as I am aware the original Blu is still in print too.
They are probably classing the DVD as the 'new' bit, which is a bit weird.

It was originally released on DVD at the same time too though, if I recall correctly. The only difference seems to be a new extra and a booklet. It's not even a new scan.

I'll keep my eye on the Amazon exclusive and see how much it comes down but it's a big investment. In the time being I'll go and buy The Burning with my points

Yeah, I'm really tempted but don't think I have the excess cash to spend on such a thing sadly
