So, we'll call this one a review in progress as I might come back and add some things.
I must say that after about ten minutes of watching, I was ready to call this like a lot of reviews I've read - rubbish. But once the first incident or two happened in the pool, it started to grab me. The family characters are for the most part not very special or rememberable, but the dad (Wyatt Russell) is alright. It's his baseball injury that is of course tied into what's happening in the pool.
Or is it the water? I leave that anti-spoiler with you for now, I enjoyed this flick for the most part. Not essential really, which is unfortunately where we wind up. Not anywhere near as good as Megan, sorry.
For what it's worth, I found the dialog a little hard to understand, it was a much more enjoyable view with captions.
If anything else I find on subsequent viewings sticks out, I will add to this. For now, simply put - an adequate entry in the supernatural horror genre. But certainly in need of some missing ingredient and I have no idea what that is. Thumbs up on the cinematography though. 2.75 stars/5
Night Swim just went on sale for first time. The rental price is still top tier, 5.99. But you can purchase it on Amazon only for 7.99. Same thing with Five Nights At Freddy's, a much better film.
