Night Swim
Night Swim is your typical run-of-the-mill January horror film. It takes its absurd yet admittedly fun concept way too seriously and turns it into a dull and cliche ridden drag; including flat characters, unnecessary lore and exposition, and tiring predictable jump scares. Poor <PERSON> is clearly above this material though she and <PERSON> do their best with what's given to them. 144
The opening sequence showed some promise and some of the nighttime pool scenes are shot nice, but that's as much goodwill found here. It might not be the worst when it comes to January horror releases but it's still a rough way to kick off this new year of movies. M3gan it is not. 269
