Night Swim (2024)
8/10
Solid TEEN horror film
31 January 2024
Yes when the rating is capped at PG 13, that means it is the intended audience. Everyone commenting is upset because they didnt get a bloodbath or disturbing like Hereditary storyline. But what would YOU expect from a PG 13 horror film?

I (unlike other reviewers) seem to understand the limitation of modern horror films especially when not Rated R. And achknowledging this, I see the film as good.

I believe the trailer was misleading, I was ecstatic to find the majority of the movie does not take place in the pool. This is necessary to build characters and also worked to drive the tension when pool scenes finally come around.

The movie had fantastic shots where the "creatures/ entities" are quitely in the corner of the camera frame. I absolutely loved this, creepier for those not on their phones who noticed.

The movie does have some bland parts , of course, but add to the story. Except I dont believe the mother is in her mid 30' like the movie states.
