“Dark Water” (search) is the latest American remake of a Japanese horror film hoping to scare up an audience this weekend.

As if the character played by Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly (search) (”A Beautiful Mind”) doesn’t have enough to deal with in a child custody fight, the divorced mom and her daughter move into a disturbingly spooky building.

“She’s faced with that sort of choice between her and her daughter’s being threatened, and she makes that choice — she’ll do anything to protect her daughter and to keep her safe, and as a parent, I think I absolutely recognize that there’s no question,” Connelly told FOX News.
