Well, it's January and the start of the bottom feeder movie season. While I'm still waiting for a great horror film to scare me out of my seat, this one will have to do for now.
Written and directed by Bryce McGuire, the film serves up a solid level of creepiness with a few good scares thrown in for good measure. What sets this apart from other horror films, is the idyllic setting of a backyard pool being the home of an evil entity. Pools are friendly and inviting, making this all the more unsettling as it goes on.
The film stars Kerry Condon (doing a great American accent) and Wyatt Russell as Eve and Ray Waller. Their kids are played by Amelie Hoeferle as Izzy and Gavin Warren as Elliott.
Things get more intense or sillier, depending on your tolerance for this story, but despite how you feel about the plot, the cast works hard to make you believers in the evil oozing out of their backyard. As silly as it may be, it's also unsettling and I, for one, will think twice now about swimming alone in a pool at night.
