The Big Picture In 2014, directors Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst gave us a modest short film that sees a woman tormented by paranormal beings while swimming in her backyard pool. Not a lot happens, but it’s still an effectively frightening short, full of shadow play, distorted views, and the seemingly endless abyss of water. Like Skinamarink that would follow years later, 2014's Night Swim capitalized on a childhood irrational fear that many have shared.
Release Date January 5, 2024 Director Bryce McGuire Cast Kerry Condon , Wyatt Russell , Nancy Lenehan , Ben Sinclair , Jodi Long Runtime 118 minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Rod Blackhurst , Bryce McGuire Production Company Atomic Monster, Blumhouse Productions, Universal Pictures Blumhouse has had an unfortunate recent string of releases that have failed to bring anything new to the horror genre or been effectively scary.
'Night Swim' Has Too Much Drama and Not Enough Horror This isn’t to say that the whole family's backstory should have been cut. But the film neglects its horror aspects, offering cheap and derivative monster designs, the usual fake-out scares, and a pathetic attempt at lore. No stakes, no real sense of danger, and no fun. The only thing that might rival the ridiculousness of a killer pool is a killer doll, and after watching Night Swim you can appreciate M3GAN a lot more.
'Night Swim' Should Have Used More Pool Horror Close The film’s greatest strength, much like the original short, is the concept itself. McGuire’s direction does have moments to shine here, serving as a reminder of what could’ve been. Maybe if Blumhouse didn't get their greedy hands on this, and another house like A24 beat them to it, we would have gotten Skinamarink: Pool Edition.
