Universal Pictures has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s new supernatural horror thriller, Night Swim. It features interviews with the cast and crew of the film, and they offer insight into the kind of creepy story that this movie is going to tell, and how after watching it, you’ll think twice before jumping into a swimming pool. The whole ambition behind the film was to ruin the swimming pool for everybody. The video also offers new footage from the movie.
Night Swim centers on a family who finds themselves dealing with a nightmarish supernatural presence that resides in the backyard swimming pool of their new home.
In the story, “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.”
The film is based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, and it 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 (Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle – The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren – Fear the Walking Dead).”
Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire and is produced by James Wan (Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring franchises) and Jason Blum (Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man).
Night Swim will hit theaters on January 5th, 2024.
