Zwart Water - Trailer - Horror With its story of a young family moving to a big old house in the country only to discover a ghost in the attic - a ghost that preys primarily on the family's young daughter - Elbert van Strien's Zwart Water may seem a touch familiar. We've seen this basic story done many times now in locations all around the globe. But, really, when it comes to ghost stories it's all been done before meaning it's not so much about novelty any more, but execution. And Van Strien seems to be doing just fine on that count.
