"Night Swim: A Murky Plunge into Disappointing Horror Depths"

'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.

"Night Swim: A Polarizing Plunge into Haunting Waters"

"Night Swim," a new horror film from Blumhouse, presents a unique and silly premise—a pool that devours people. Directed by Bryce McGuire, the film plays with suburban banality and ancient evils, creating tension through sound design and camera work. Despite some overreliance on jump scares and a less intriguing reveal of the entity behind the terror, the film offers laughs and features strong performances, particularly from Wyatt Russell. "Night Swim" is now playing in theaters, offering a blend of horror and humor with a touch of suburban critique.

"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.

"Night Swim's Murky Debut: High Hopes Dampened by Soggy Reviews"

"Night Swim," a supernatural thriller produced by the newly merged Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, is projected to make a $9-11 million debut at the box office. Despite lukewarm reviews and a typically slow January for cinemas, the film, starring Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon, hopes to capitalize on the lack of horror competition until the release of "Imaginary" in March. The film's performance will be closely watched as it's the first major release after the holiday season, which did not see a blockbuster capable of sustaining long-term ticket sales, with "Aquaman 2" underperforming and "Wonka" currently leading the box office.

"Night Swim: A Damp Dive into Poolside Terror That Flounders at the Box Office"

"Night Swim," a new Blumhouse production, is a horror film about a haunted swimming pool that fails to deliver genuine scares, feeling tepid and unoriginal. The film, which could have explored the psychological tension of a family dealing with trauma, instead opts for a less impactful story of a miraculous recovery linked to the pool's supernatural properties. Despite its potential, the movie is criticized for its lack of immersion and suspense, falling short of the eerie atmosphere it attempts to evoke.

"Night Swim" Makes a Splash with Mixed Reviews: A Box Office Dive or Horror Delight?

Universal and Blumhouse's horror-thriller "Night Swim" is expected to make a splash at the box office with a projected opening weekend range of $10M-$15M, targeting young adult audiences. Despite tracking softer than anticipated and facing minimal competition, it could benefit from Blumhouse's brand appeal and the extended school holiday break. Meanwhile, "Wonka" and "The Color Purple" are predicted to maintain their post-holiday momentum. The overall market is projected to see a decline from previous years, lacking a major event film to boost post-holiday sales.
