Universal Pictures is getting a head start on summer by releasing the horror film Night Swim for digital viewing. Now, you can enjoy this unique horror flick from the comfort of your home by renting or buying it on platforms such as Vudu and Apple TV.
The movie is inspired by Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst's short film from 2014, sharing the same title. It tells the story of a family facing terror from a malevolent swimming pool.
Bryce McGuire, making his debut as a feature film director, wrote and directed the movie. Jason Blum and James Wan produced the film through their respective companies, Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster. This film, which features a thrilling horror storyline, is the first one released by Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster after their merger on January 2, 2024. Even though the film made $37 million worldwide at the box office, it couldn't bag a positive review from the critics, with an average rating of 4.3/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Plot
Adapted from the well-received 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the movie features Wyatt Russell (known for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, who is a former professional baseball player, who is facing early retirement due to a degenerative illness.
Wyatt Russell, portraying Ray Waller, along with his wife Eve (played by Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon from The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (depicted by Amélie Hoeferle, seen in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), and young son Elliot (recognized from Fear the Walking Dead), relocate to a new home.
Ray, secretly hoping for a comeback in baseball, convinces Eve that the house's sparkling backyard pool will be enjoyable for the kids and aid in his physical therapy. However, a foreboding secret from the dwelling's history releases a sinister force, pulling the family into a horrifying abyss with seemingly no way out.
According to McGuire, it took him around three years to develop the story beyond the initial eerie pool concept explored in the short film.
