Does it bother anyone else that Jennifer Connelly seems to have been airbrushed to look exactly like Jennifer Love Hewitt on the poster/cover art for this movie? I love Connelly and like the movie, but the fact that they airbrushed her to look completely different bugs me.

Before I saw the movie, I had to double-check to make sure that the role really was being played by JC & not by JLH. Silly producers must have thought that JC didn't have enough name recognition to put butts in the seats.
Update
If I want your opinion, I'll GIVE it to you.
Ha I was wondering about that
shareThis is funny because it's true. I used to work at Blockbuster, so I've seen the cover a thousand times, and I just became interested in the Elisa Lam case, so when someone said that it was like that Jennifer Connelly movie Dark Water, I immediately thought of the movie cover with Jennifer Love Hewitt that I've seen so many times. (I never actually saw the movie)

I know exactly what you're talking about with the Elisa Lam case! Some say she played "The Elevator Game" and that's somewhat how she died.
sharePeople have been coming up with a lot of fantastical theories. She played the elevator game and went to another dimension, probably hell.
This movie seemed to predict Elisa Lam by years.
The timestamp had been obscured.
There's seconds / minutes / hours / decades edited from the video.
The video was edited by staff / cops / CIA.
There's a third foot in the video.
The window / wall turns red at the end.
She died before the elevator video, and the video shows her ghost.
There was someone outside holding the elevator button.
The "TB" test was called "Lam-Elisa" to test others for whatever mild-altering disease she had... or to actually test people for TB after drinking the water she had been floating in.
Her face morphs and her eyes and mouth turn black.
She bends her hands and feet in impossible ways.
The person in the video and the person in the tank were two different people.
There's a weird mist and weird shapes in the video.
She was attacked by the ghost(s) of murderers, victims, or people who committed suicide over the years at the hotel.
The hotel seems to change names all the time.
She had multiple stalkers.
There were multiple sex offenders at the hotel when she was there.
She was bi-polar.
Her internet sites seemed suicidal.
The clothes she was found with were / were not the ones in the video, or were men's clothes.
She had blood pooling in her prolapsed rectum.
The cause of death on the autopsy report changed over several days.
Her phone went missing.
Her Tumblr had been updated after her death.
There was a police coverup.
She's breaking her fingers in the video at one point.
She could / couldn't open / close the hole to the water tanks.
The doors to the roof supposedly were locked.

She was just a druggy schizo who hit the "door hold" button.

She bends her hands and feet in impossible ways.
She bent her hands in impossible ways, so that's partly true.
She was just a druggy schizo who hit the "door hold" button.
If she was holding the "door hold" button then she wouldn't have been able to be outside the elevator. Not only that, but the door doesn't close until after she ran away nearly five minutes after it arrived.
She was quite bendy, but not impossibly so.
In hotels, the "door hold" button keeps the door open for minutes on end in order to load luggage. Note that she presses lots of buttons at the beginning, then again a couple of minutes later.
She walks in, hits all the buttons in the line of buttons, the elevator processes all of it and almost closes, but then opens back up because one of the buttons was the door hold button.
She probably started to freak out because she didn't know why the door wouldn't close, because she didn't know about this button, like a lot of the people on the internet.
Then again, maybe there was no Door Hold button on this elevator. There is insufficient data to come to any conclusion.

I don't know. Do older hotels have door holds? This is a pretty old hotel we're talking about.
shareThis particular hotel does, indeed, have a "door hold" button. It can be seen on this video at the 14:26 mark.

No, as I don't see that at all. I've found JLH to be a beautiful, adorable, voluputuous and sexy woman from the first movie I saw her in and just looking again at the poster for this film, Jennifer Connelly looks just like Jennifer Connelly. Another beautiful woman in a completely different way.
shareI sometimes confuse this movie with 'Hide & Seek' cuz Famke Janssen is in that and she's vaguely similar to Jennifer Connelly.
