Night Swim is a 2024 supernatural horror film directed by Bryce Mguire in his directorial debut, based on his 2014 short film of the same name. The first film to be released by Blumhouse Productions after merging with producer James Wan's Atomic Monster production company, it stars Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon.Ray Waller is a baseball player who was forced to retire due to an illness. While Ray and his family (consisting of wife Eve, daughter Izzy, and son Elliot) are house-hunting, they come across a house that has a pool in the backyard. As they settle in, mysterious and strange happenings start to occur, and it soon becomes clear that there is something in the pool…

comment
Kick the Dog: The pool ghosts take out the family cat, for no reason other than For the Evulz, as it seems far more interested in human lives for the sacrifices than animal lives. Poor thing.

Rule of Pool

comment
Rule of Pool: Multiple. Besides the casual dives, the pool also drags people into it. And cats, unfortunately.

Bittersweet Ending: Eve, Izzy, and Elliot are able to survive the pool; however, this comes at the cost of Ray sacrificing himself to it. Fortunately, the Wallers make sure that no one ever falls victim to the pool anymore by staying at the house and covering it up.

Would Hurt a Child: The pool's victims are not limited to adults – Kay Fuller sacrificed her daughter, Rebecca, to the pool, which resulted in her son Tommy being healed. Not to mention, the pool tries to sacrifice Elliot when possessing Ray.

Night Swim Equals Death: Clearly. However, while many scenes (including the climax) do happen at night, some horrors also happen in the daytime.

Healing Spring: Where the pool gets its water from. For someone to be healed, someone else has to be sacrificed.

Addictive Magic: Here, the magic is the pool's healing ability. Ray ends up addicted to it after his wound disappears.

Evil Is Petty: Possibly the only reason the pool murders the cat. There is no way the cat is somehow an adequate sacrifice when it's been taking humans as tributes instead.
