Blumhouse Horror: Everything You Need To Know About New James Wan Thriller ‘Night Swim’
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse have teamed up again to see if lightning can strike a second time. On January 6, 2023, they gave us M3GAN, which danced her murderous way into our hearts. However, on January 5, 2024, they are back with a different vibe for the PG-13 horror crowd via Night Swim. If you are unfamiliar with this disturbing title, let us dive into the deep end together and check out the trailer down below.

Per the official synopsis:
Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) 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 (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, this fall’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead).
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.

Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead). This is McGuire’s second time directing a feature-length film, with his first being 2018’s Unfollowed.
I am rooting for the movie only because I am tired of people sleeping on January horror movies. Scream (2022) and M3GAN made it their New Year resolution to slay the box office. We are better off for knowing them both too. Things are clearly starting to turn around, and hopefully, this will be the last year of people pretending we are not getting the goods all year round.
Are you ready to test the disturbing waters of Night Swim? Then let me know at @misssharai.
