Night Swim Ratings & Reviews
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025This is funny bad, so it wasn’t actually a terrible watch. Wyatt Russell as an actor, to me, feels like he’s far beyond this type of movies. Jump scares galore and not a single one works. This ones best watched at home drinking with friends or not at all.
- N8October 10, 2024This film about a killer swimming pool was so boring it almost drowned me in apathy. While the underwater cinematography was occasionally striking, and the actors did their best with the material, the script was as shallow as a kiddie pool.The film's biggest sin is its unwavering seriousness. A killer pool? This concept screams for the campy, self-aware treatment of a M3GAN or Malignant. Imagine the pool delivering sassy one-liners before dragging its victims to a watery grave! Instead, we get a plodding "real horror" movie that takes itself far too seriously. The pacing is also a major issue. The entire sequence with Kerry Condon researching the house's history could have been cut entirely. A tight 80-minute runtime would have made this a much more thrilling experience.The PG-13 rating further neuters the film's potential. The pool party scene, which should have been a bloodbath on par with Piranha 3D, is disappointingly tame. Imagine the terror if the pool mysteriously swallowed a dozen partygoers at once, leaving the survivors in a state of panic and confusion. Now that's a horror movie! Ultimately, this film felt like a short film stretched beyond its limits.
