"Night Swim: A Murky Plunge into Disappointing Horror Depths"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Ringer
'Night Swim,' a new horror film produced by James Wan and Jason Blum, explores the terror of a haunted swimming pool, tapping into irrational fears much like classic horror films have done with other phobias. The movie, which is based on a short film of the same name, follows a retired baseball player with multiple sclerosis and his family as they encounter supernatural events linked to their new home's pool. Despite some creative moments, the film struggles to balance its absurd premise with a serious tone, ultimately failing to fully embrace its potential for campy horror.
