So, I just watched Dark Water on telly, which isn't bad, as modern horror movies go. Even if the three main messages of it seemed to be 1) "Hey, middle class people! Whatever you do, don't move to a poorer area and live in rented property, because Bad Things will happen", 2) "Unionised workers are at best troublesome, and at worst evil.", and 3) "The only things worse than unionised workers are people who are a bit overweight and eat sandwiches at their desks, gamble on horse racing, or go to cinemas alone".
The thing that alarmed me most of all, far more than anything to do with the Shining-style ghost-child, was the brief scene in which the mum has a naked bath with her approx 5 year old daughter, like it's the most normal thing in the world.
Is that sort of thing considered appropriate in the States? In fact, is that sort of thing considered appropriate anywhere?
