--------
No running. No diving. No lifeguard on duty. No swimming after dark.
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the producers of M3GAN, high dive into the deep end of horror with the new supernatural thriller, Night Swim.
Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, this fall’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead).
Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.
Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) and is produced by James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Jason Blum, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wan’s Atomic Monster and by Ryan Turek for Blum’s Blumhouse.

I gave this movie a little credit for turning a simple premise and running with it and for the camera work for the pool

Nice review man, I wasn't going to see this.

[@itsraeofsunshine]

Great review!! I was thinking about checking this one out but now I think I'll just wait and stream it if it ends up on a platform I have. 😂

I think some people will say its fine BUT for me its not movie theater expenses 😂😂 thanks for the comment!!

It's not my place to judge, but personally, I'd only give F grades to movies with absolutely NO redeemable qualities. So for me, this sounds like more of a D tier movie to me, since you said the acting isn't terrible. I would have my exceptions of course, like I would give Batman & Robin an F, even though Michael Gough's performance as Alfred is good, because the rest is so bad, that his performance doesn't fix anything. Idk if that makes sense lol

JACOB! I thought this movie was a big miss. Not scary, not thrilling, and the dialogue was laughable at times. Poor start to 2024. I do hope these guys come back with another movie that works better.

Hated this movie. The original short is literally 3 minutes long, this felt like it was straining so hard to get to 90 and I was bored out of my mind.
