If the trailers to the new Blumhouse horror flick Night Swim had you screaming "Girl, just open your eyes!" during that nonsensical Marco Polo scene, you're apparently not the only one. Reviews for the pool-focused supernatural thriller on the 2024 movie schedule — which hits theaters nationwide on Friday, January 5 — are officially out, and they are less than thrilling.
Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the upcoming horror movie stars The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Wyatt Russell as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his wife Eve (Kerry Condon) and their two children. However, it seems like there's not just chlorine and rogue leaves in their new backyard swimming pool, but a malevolent force lurking beneath its surface.
