Night Swim
Directed by Bryce McGuire
Forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, former baseball player Ray Waller moves into a new house with his wife and two children. He hopes that the backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for himself. However, a dark secret from the home's past soon unleashes a malevolent force that drags the family into the depths of inescapable terror. From TMDB

60 of 205 · most liked firstI have a high tolerance for bad horror films, but holy hell Night Swim was a stinker. It felt edited to hell, too, with huge chunks of the movie missing?
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched Night Swim, it's a decent horror movie about a haunted pool but I noticed early on it has the same problem as Shark Pool.
neutral · AI labelView post →You'd think after Imaginary and Night Swim that Blumhouse couldn't put out something worse but holy shit. Horrible, horrible film. There is so much generative images and there is no way that script wasn't written by AI, a fraud of a film.
negative · AI labelView post →Night Swim is not a good movie, which is so disappointing because a haunted pool is such a killer premise. Why will writers and filmmakers not learn from Christine (1983). Don't complicate things. The pool is evil. It wants to kill you. It WILL kill you. That's more than enough.
negative · AI labelView post →My favorite thing about the horror movie NIGHT SWIM is that it's about an MLB player with trash insurance.
positive · AI labelView post →My review of Night Swim for The Film Verdict: #filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →In January, they will be releasing NIGHT SWIM, the horror movie about an evil haunted swimming pool, just so we all know when the absolute nadir of horror movie logic is going to happen
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t gotten this silly with an article in a long time! Inspired by NIGHT SWIM, I ranked the “strangest killer obejects in horror” for @slashfilm. Yes, I made the header image. Yes, graphic design is my passion.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bailey and her boyfriend are on their way to go see that movie Night Swim. They're unsure what it's actually about (the previews aren't helpful), but she loves horror movies and he gets dragged along. She says her favorite is The Conjuring. I'm partial to The Descent. 5 ⭐

neutral · AI labelView post →This movie and Night Swim are neck and neck for the worst of 2024. I said what I said. I’d give it negative stars if I could. boxd.it/EgxO
negative · AI labelView post →I watched Night Swim on the plane, wondering how the hell that trailer can be for a feature length film but like it was more competently written than the Mario movie lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →Night Swim: Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon buy a house that has a haunted swimming pool in this deeply silly horror film, that often borders on being a self-parody of Blumhouse movies if it didn't take itself so seriously. Full of cheap, ineffective jump scares before becoming a Shining clone.
negative · AI labelView post →Learning about the Night Swim director’s previous film
neutral · AI labelView post →On second thoughts, watching NIGHT SWIM, a movie about a haunted swimming pool, was a bad idea for someone scared of water. But the bloke in the back row kindly broke the tension by taking a phone call during the tense climax, so... thanks I guess?
neutral · AI labelView post →i keep getting ads for this movie called Night Swim and i don’t want to look it up because i love that from what little i know about it, it appears to be about an evil sentient swimming pool or something. welcome to january, movies suck again
neutral · AI labelView post →Last year, my editor dared me to do a deep dive on “Night Swim.” I’m proud of the piece, as terrible as the film is. A big thrust was the observation “Night Swim” is about the death of communal spaces in modern America. Like “The Brutalist.” READ: www.patreon.com/posts/column...

neutral · AI labelView post →Today is #letterboxd #lastfourwatched! I finished my Halloween marathon! Watched Night Swim, which was... I rewatched Hellraiser with friends who had never seen it. On Monday, I watched Terrifier 3, had a lot of fun with that deranged movie. Then I rewatched Jaws in theaters, which was great!

neutral · AI labelView post →What song y’all been singing about Night Swim? For me, it’s been “lookin for a night swim baby this evening, i need a night swim baby tonight” (Y’all turn movie titles into song lyrics, right?)
neutral · AI labelView post →Is Night Swim, the haunted swimming pool film, silly? Yes. Did I have a good time watching it? Also yes. Sometimes competently made silliness is all you need.
positive · AI labelView post →The horrors don’t all happen at night and they don’t always happen when you’re swimming, but I guess the title “Deadpool” was taken. My review of the laughable haunted swimming pool movie NIGHT SWIM, which is almost campy enough to recommend, at The Wrap! 📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →I had fun but it was a bad movie. This was definitely not like Night Swim, where I didn't have fun, and it was bad. I lowkey want to sit down and maybe record my take on it tomorrow because it was certainly a movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →After reading Donato's review, I think NIGHT SWIM might honestly be the most the two of us have ever agreed on a movie. It's fine, surprisingly interesting backstory, some good visuals, needed to be weirder, cast innocent.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think we can all collectively agree that 2024’s worst horror movie is…. 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 Night Swim
negative · AI labelView post →put on NIGHT SWIM, which does, legitimately, seem to be horror movie about a murderous swimming pool. curious to see if they pull it off.
neutral · AI labelView post →Was aiming for a double-bill of ARGYLLE followed by NIGHT SWIM, but the audience at NIGHT SWIM was as noisy as a football crowd & even when the film began gave no indication they would ever STFU, so I walked out after a few minutes.
negative · AI labelView post →I love how @monagle.bsky.social and I came to essentially the same conclusions about NIGHT SWIM, but viewed the film through wholly different lenses. Me, using the “random killer object” genre of horror film, and Monagle, the analytical baseball fan perspective.

neutral · AI labelView post →I am also possibly the only person on Earth who thought about the terrible 2024 horror movie “Night Swim” while watching “The Brutalist.” Particularly given that Van Buren won’t let Tóth build a communal swimming pool. (“I don’t swim,” he explains.) But let me explain.

neutral · AI labelView post →2024 watch #45: Night Swim (2024) Woof. Even Kerry Condon can't save this. They already made the only movie about scary water we need and it's called Jaws. I would just pour a shitload of chlorine in the haunted water, but I'm built different. 💅
negative · AI labelView post →Wait, NIGHT SWIM is a real movie and not an elaborate bait and switch for something else?
neutral · AI labelView post →“It may be damning with faint praise to describe Night Swim as a solid movie, but horror fans know just how dark and deep the bottom of their genre can be.” NIGHT SWIM is fine and that’s fine.
neutral · AI labelView post →everything rotten about the state of cinema in one swoop: you called your presumably bad movie NIGHT SWIM and it's then made abundantly clear you should have called it THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE POOL.
negative · AI labelView post →And then there’s horror. What set this off was three trailers I saw this week. The non horror but violent Silent Night. The wretched looking Thanksgiving. The wretched looking Night Swim. A movie about a killer swimming pool can get made but I can’t go see a movie with actors I like.
negative · AI labelView post →Night Swim (2024) For a Blumhouse horror film it is pretty decent, it has all elements, being creepy, eerie with strange things happening. An easy watch, not necessary a standout. 6/10
neutral · AI labelView post →Thought I'd give Night Swim a go. Five minutes in and they've cast able-bod Wyatt Russell as someone with MS. If I finish this film, the review will be murderous.
negative · AI labelView post →I saw a movie years ago through a test audience service. It was one of the most generic found footage horror movies ever. It still hasn't been released yet and the director ended up making Night Swim
neutral · AI labelView post →Imagine having the new movie from the director of PARASITE and releasing it at the same time of year as movies like M3GAN and NIGHT SWIM. And that’s no shade to those movies, but there’s a reason easy horror gets slotted there.
neutral · AI labelView post →Night Swim - 1.5 / 5 2024 - Peacock Fatally flawed concept. Fundamentally misunderstands why people pick the horror movies they do. If you want a movie about a killer swimming pools, you don't want what this was (a halfass Blumhouse Shining). #horror #horrorreviews letterboxd.com/jame0123/fil...
negative · AI labelView post →Ok so anyway Night Swim is such a terrible movie 😭 ik that's the general consensus too but I laughed way too hard during it's runtime even though it wasn't even going for (or reached) so-bad-it's-good
negative · AI labelView post →And bad movie talk is back! @jckdvnprt.bsky.social and I have fun attempting to fix Night Swim (2024), the recent flop from Blumhouse. Spotify - open.spotify.com/episode/27nKfn… YouTube - youtube.com/watch?v=JjOV_6
neutral · AI labelView post →Night Swim in with an early running to be the worst film I've seen this year but I have no doubt it won't be by the time December rolls around. Still, a what a mess. 🎥 boxd.it/5N0tCT 🎥
negative · AI labelView post →Jem Cohen's Nightswimming might have made a better feature film than Bryce McGuire's Night Swim. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZ4...
neutral · AI labelView post →First cinema trip of the year and just saw Night Swim. Was a pretty good and tense film. 🏊♂️😱
positive · AI labelView post →My review NIGHT SWIM (my first of 2024) is up on InRO. Seems designed to disappoint both fans of trash cinema expecting something like DEATH BED as well as more casual fans expecting the campy-horror of M3GAN. It is, for better or worse, a rather earnest haunted swimming pool movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seeing NIGHT SWIM tomorrow and I am just warning everyone right now: if they say the title in the movie I'm going to sing "deserves a quiet night" immediately after. Unavoidable.

negative · AI labelView post →2) Night Swim STUPID!!!! Why did James Wan and Jason Blume decide to turn this mans 5 minute short film into an hour 30 minute snooze fest about a haunted pool??????? Wyatt Russell what are we doing here???
