Jim's Review
In many cases make a short film is a good way to tease a concept of story and I have seen it done with Kin (2018) which was made from a short video called "The Bagman" Dust.
In this movie Night Swim was made from a short film Night Swim (2014) and I figured Blumhouse and James Wan get involved it would be cryptic and scary
It starts out very wholesome and interesting and by the 30 minute mark is where thing start to happen, yet the entire picture get clouded with insight as to who is the real target of the malevolent entity
Ray Waller ( Wyatt Russell) who has given up baseball due a degenerative illness finds the pool is helping with his recovery, even the doctor is surprised!
Eve Waller (Karen Condon) and his son Elliot Waller (Gavin Warren) and sister Kay (Jodi Long) started feel the bad energy coming from the pool and Ray Waller just dismisses them.
The climatic end the pieces fall together leading to a climatic end where everyone faces the wrath of evil in the pool.
6 out of 10 stars
Similar film The Unwelcome (2022) scary, horrific and little comedic at times.
Movie Plot
Forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, former baseball player Ray Waller moves into a new house with his wife and two children. He hopes that the backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for himself. However, a dark secret from the home's past soon unleashes a malevolent force that drags the family into the depths of inescapable terror.
