A family learns they’ll need more than pool noodles and floaties to survive a dip in their backyard swimming pool in Night Swim. Based on Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire’s short film, Night Swim‘s first trailer shows a nighttime swim and an innocent game of Marco Polo quickly devolving into a terrifying fight for survival.
Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), Amélie Hoeferle (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), and Gavin Warren (Fear the Walking Dead) star in the supernatural thriller from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse.
Bryce McGuire wrote the screenplay and directed, with James Wan (The Conjuring franchise) and Jason Blum producing. Blumhouse’s Ryan Turek and Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear and Judson Scott executive produce.
“Night Swim is a very spooky haunted pool movie,” said executive producer Turek in a recent interview with EW. “Because it was developed by Atomic Monster, it’s got all of the heart and soul that comes with a James Wan film and a lot of underwater nightmare imagery that I’m excited for people to see.”
Night Swim will open in theaters on January 5, 2024.
The Plot, Courtesy of Universal Pictures:
Wyatt Russell stars 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 concerned wife Eve (Condon), teenage daughter Izzy (Hoeferle) and young son Elliot (Warren).
Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.
