What’s in the pool? That might only be answered when Night Swim arrives in theaters on January 5, 2024. Nonetheless, the cast and crew behind the upcoming Blumhouse supernatural thriller tease what viewers can expect in a newly uploaded featurette.
In the clip, director Bryce McGuire revealed his team’s goal in producing the film: “ruin the swimming pool forever.” A horror feature with such a “brilliant concept,” as producer James Wan describes it himself, Night Swim follows a family of four who moves into a new home only to find out the backyard swimming pool is haunted.

Who will star in Night Swim?
Starring Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, the rest of the Night Swim cast includes Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) as Eve, Amélie Hoeferle (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) as Izzy, and Gavin Warren (Fear the Walking Dead) as Elliot.
The forthcoming horror film is executive produced by Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Ryan Turek, with Wan and Jason Blum serving as producers.
Based on the 2014 short film by McGuire and Rod Blackhurst, the official synopsis for Night Swim reads: “In the film, 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, teenage daughter Izzy, and young son Elliot. 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.”
