"Night Swim: A Deep Dive into Blumhouse's Latest Chilling Flop"
"Night Swim," directed by Bryce McGuire and produced by horror experts James Wan and Jason Blum, is a horror film that explores the dark side of suburban life through the lens of a family's backyard pool. The film starts strong with effective scares, particularly in scenes involving swimming at night, but later becomes muddled with too many horror tropes and themes, losing some of its emotional impact. Despite its flaws, the film is seen as a promising debut for McGuire and a decent horror flick for a winter release, giving pool owners a scare that might just linger until summer. Rated PG-13, "Night Swim" runs for 1 hour and 56 minutes and is now in theaters.
