James Wan and Blumhouse are teaming up for a new horror that definitely won’t be for those with a fear of water. Night Swim is based on the 2014 short film by writer/director Bryce McGuire, and stars Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Wyatt Russell (Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as a married couple who enjoy their nightly backyard swims in the pool, until they come under threat by a malevolent force.
Also in the cast are Amélie Hoeferle and Gavin Warren. James Wan, creator of Saw and The Conjuring Universe is aboard as a producer, alongside Blumhouse’s Jason Blum. Blumhouse’s horror rep speaks for itself, just as Wan’s does.
One of my deepest fears, one that I still have nightmares about, is drowning. I hate deep water in real life, video games, and especially in movies. This one’s going to be a tough sit for me!
Night Swim opens in theaters soon! Check out the trailer below followed by the synopsis.
