Not gonna lie Mike I remember The Buttercream Gang from school and I found it on KZbin a few months ago and tried to have my son watch it and he was like dad this isn’t good 😂 I said son there’s a message in the movie that you should be good or whatever and he was like dad I don’t like it 😂… Anyway man awesome video and I LOVE YOUR F****ING FACE 💪🏼 WWAM FOR LIFE BABY 🫡

And people still think that we are crazy for saying things like "movies arent the same kids!", ahah i hate sounding like an old curmudgeon but with flix like this, i can barely endorse any new movie, my recommendations dont go past the year 2004 most the time.

Dude I just found your channel this morning and been binging all day. I love the way you express yourself, it’s so funny and refreshing to have someone with similar vernacular and not the usual movie reviewer. I haven’t laughed so much in a while. I’m curious about the patreon.

This is everything. Mike I haven’t laughed out loud like this in a long time …..so thank you . Best review ever 😂 One of your best mate . I agree with everything.

Blum house sucks. I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Halloween. It caused me to check out Rob Zombies films and realized they’re really scary and brutal. I no longer hate RZH2. I pray Jason never gets ahold of Elm St or Friday.

[@Fit4Freddy]

I just went to the theater to go see this. Within 5 min the movie broke and they couldn’t get it working and offered a refund. Lol. I guess that was a good thing. And that’s how I stumbled across this video. I’m sure this video was more entertaining than the movie. Never look back! 😂 Thanks for the review & laughs.

[@WyattAtlee]

It wouldn’t be so bad if most Blumhouse films didn’t feel like a cash grabs most of the time, but this film feels no different. There was no need for this film at all. Like, the horror genre would be perfectly fine without it. Thanks for taking on for the team here, Mike, lol. It’s so sad that we are in 2024 & we are still saying that most horror films feel soulless & empty.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

1000% man. They really don't seem to care an ounce anymore/

[@hollyroxy25]

You’re totally right. Imo the first & most important motivation for making a movie should be that they have an interesting story they want to tell but unfortunately it seems as though they’re only motivation now is money. I understand it’s ultimately a business but money shouldn’t be the ONLY goddamn reason because then what starts to happen is what’s happening now, the audience stops trusting you & guess what?? After they’ve been bamboozled a few times in a row they eventually say F this & they stop going to the theater to see their shit movies. I don’t understand why this concept seems so hard for Hollywood to grasp 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@WyattAtlee]

@@hollyroxy25 I couldn’t have said it any better myself! At the end of the day, when I see a film from any genre, I want to feel passion &originality. I want to feel like the people working on the film cared about the project being made. What these companies have to understand is that the audience is not stupid. The audience knows whether or not there was an effort being put forth in set film. We are not dumb. Movies like this really makes me wonder how these films were made & given the green light to be released. Gosh, I hate being this negative, but some films deserve it. 😂 I’m sorry about the rant here, you don’t have to read it all, but I am in 100% agreement with you. I’m just SO tired of these companies settling for average films & thinking it’s ok.

[@hollyroxy25]

@@WyattAtlee no apology necessary, I 1000% agree with you! It pisses me off too & I’m sick of it. Most of Hollywood is guilty of it but with Blumhouse in particular, they literally don’t give af because they make their shit movies for so cheap, they’re like “ah f**k it, we’re guaranteed to make profit”. Honestly I think the only way they’ll stop this bs is for everyone to stop giving them their money. If they start actually losing money you can bet they’ll reassess & change their shit model. Audiences have to demand better & the only way we can make them listen is with our dollar.

[@BraxtonWages]

This “movie” reminds me of the American Dad episode about the killer hot tub that was voiced by CeLo Green lol

[@visualpr3cision]

I just got back home from the theatre..... Empty....Soulless.....MASSIVE TURD. This film did a fantastic job making a very fun trailer but (spoiler alert!!!!), it was incredibly misleading. Looked like a 7-8 outta 10 Horror-movie but.......Definitely NOT how I wanted to start my 2024 in the theatre. Then again, I can’t be selfish, 2023 was INCREDIBLE for film and movie theatres. A concept centered around a haunted pool would always be a challenging task for a movie, and ‘Nightswim’ is proof of that. While it’s made competently enough, it’s so tepid and mundane that you almost zone out many times. There are hardly any real scares or thrills, and the movie struggles to maintain any kind of tension, despite the cast trying their best to keep some interest alive. It has a very direct-to-video feel as well, as the movie does the bare minimum without going for the jugular and providing an unhinged, bonkers experience. 2.4/10 ⭐️ #nightswim 🚨 EDIT: the special effects and “monsters” were the worst IV ever seen in a longggggg time!!!!!! 🚨

[@PrintLUK]

Amityville horror was the perfect movie analogy for this movie lmaoo

[@Getguti]

Well articulated review! When words can’t express cursing and cussing are all justified! I call night swim just Amityville pool at this point ha

[@LemonPressProductions]

This is sad... One of my anticipated movies of the New Year. Well, I'm honestly not too surprised. Movies, nowadays, tend to strike out more than they hit home runs. When I saw the trailer for Night Swim, I was honestly wanting demonic entities in the pool - creatures with an art design similar to We Are Still Here or The Fog (original). When you talked about the ending, I had honestly thought of a few that would be better than that. In my choice ending - mind you I have not seen the film - I would have ended it with the "possessed" father trying to pull his family down, into the depths to drown them. The mother saves her kid(s) from the dad, kicking him in the face to get away. And as the mother pulls her kid(s) to safety, they look back to the pool to see the "possessed" father standing on the floor of the pool, just staring straight up at them in a creepy, make-your-skin-crawl type of way. The pool lights do their thing and flicker until they suddenly go out and the pool is just completely blacked out. The scene dissolves into the next day where the mother gives an exposition dialogue about how "the pool gets what it wants..." Then we see the concrete truck filling up the pool to seal it off. And just as the film is about to end, we do a slow zoom on the pool's vacuum port where we hear a hushed whisper say, "baseball stuff..."
