As an after-Christmas movie we watched Dark Water, that is the US remake (as a pre-Christmas movie we watched the whole Lord of the Rings extended edition during three days). We loved the original Japanese version and as you might guess, this one didn't even get close.
The environment (Roosevelt Island in New York) was shabby enough and the water damage theme worked perhaps even better than in the original. However, they had reduced the horror and increased the custody fight so much I wouldn't even call the movie a horror movie. Psychological drama, yes, but no horror.
Stick with the original.
