Night Swim with TWDU actors Kerry Condon, Wyatt Russell & Gavin Warren on VOD
By Renee Hansen
The swimming pool horror film, Night Swim, produced by Jason Blum and James Wan in their first project since the merger of their Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster banners. The critical reception was less than favorable but had a decent box office run. Now you can watch the movie from the comfort of your home.
Night Swim is a supernatural horror that was written by Byrce McGuire, who also directs, as a short film he created with Rod Blackhurst. The movie is McGuire's feature directorial debut, which stars Kerry Condon, Wyatt Russell, Gavin Warren, and Amélie Hoeferle as the Waller family, who discover that having a backyard swimming pool isn't worth the trouble.
The first horror release of 2024, Night Swim follows the Waller family as they move into a new home. Ray, a professional baseball player forced into early retirement due to a degenerative illness, is excited about the prospect of a pool. He can use it for PT and it can be a great recreational activity for the family. But the pool, inhabited by an supernatural presence, has other plans.
The movie became available digitally on January 23, after its January 5 theatrical release, where it debuted second behind Wonka, which was released in mid-December 2023. Night Swim can be rented or purchased on Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu, and more.
