I literally fell asleep 10 minutes in, woke up 20 minutes before the movie ended and was told by friends i missed nothing.

When the daughter runs away screaming and the dad goes "Marco??" that made me laugh and so did when he goes "You're supposed to say polo!!" 😂

My favorite part is when they’re talking to the doctor and the dude like looks into the camera and goes “we got a pool 😀”

the concept gives more of a short film than a whole movie

the scariest jump scare of the movie was the man sitting next to me sneezing really loud

*SPOILER* I totally agree with the ending making absolutely no sense. I laughed when they were filling in the pool and saying they can never leave so it never happens to anyone else. But like???? The pool is gone? Why would it ever affect anyone else. Also I was laughing because how SUSPICIOUS it must have looked that their father suddenly vanishes and they next day they're filling in a pool... If I was police I'd be like did you guys kill him?!

Your most accurate review yet lmao for a movie about a haunted pool, there was SO much baseball. Thanks for the laughs!

I used to be excited that Blumhouse was credited in a film but now they’re a dime a dozen. They’ve got some incredible films but I feel like they’re pandering at this point. Thanks for watching this for us!

I think this could have been an interesting concept. We see how much the Dad is struggling with his disease, and then the pool spirit tells him if he sacrifices one member of the family to it he can get his health back. And at first he says "hell no" of course, but he keeps getting worse and the pool keeps showing him visions of the perfect, healthy life as a famous baseball player he could have and we follow him struggling with deciding if he wants to go through with it, and if so, who he would choose to sacrifice for himself. That would be way more intestesting than "whoopsie, I didnt realize I made a deal to sacrifice my son and now I'm possessed."

Ray's "is he okay?" delivery at the end made our entire row crack up laughing at it to the point where my boyfriend and i kept quoting it the whole ride home...safe to say we did not like it either lol

I love that Saw poster with my girl Amanda in the back

I don’t understand why this movie couldn’t have been worked on and perfected for a few more months and then released in the summer

Not a horror film, but I am telling everyone about Poor Things. Technically, it could be considered a stretch on Frankenstein. Emma Stone is GLORIOUS and will win the Oscar for this part. It is super quirky, both funny & sad at times. Most definitely not for children, just adults. I loved everything about it.

The new setup is really cool, it has a very unique angle!

Sarah, saw this with my girlfriend last weekend and we both laughed at the “is he okay?” line 😂😂 also laughed at the “YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SAY POLO!” line. What a mess 😂

I’m so mad Kerry Condon is in this movie. She was incredible in The Banshees of Inisherin. The paycheck had to have been massive cause she’s way too good for this.

Omg Sarah this review was hilarious 😂 thank you so much

For what it was I had fun with this movie I was very intrigued by the water and how it somehow tied to old folklore

I love Kerry Condon in The Banshees of Inisherin and Better Call Saul, so I hope she gets a horror worthy of her talent in the future.

When the title of the movie is Night Swim and you know it's about a pool but then there's "too much baseball in it", you know something went wrong at some point In all seriousness, this should have remained a horror short and nothing else

Dead Man’s Float episode from Are You Afraid of the Dark gets my vote for best swimming pool horror. It terrified and traumatized me as a kid lol

Blumhouse? More like Blahhouse (I'll see myself out)

Would love to see you list movies that have great premises but terrible execution, because there's a lot. Or bad movies with memorable scenes. Love your stuff!❤

Love that you’re doing a Saltburn review even though I didn’t feel like that film was for me. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on Godzilla Minus One? Actually horrifying in my opinion

I’m glad I’m not the only one who kept laughing at Wyatt’s line delivery!! Basically everything he said in the third act had me laughing out loud! And I was in a pretty full theater and didn’t really hear anyone else laughing…

oh I 100% agree with you that all of the horror movie output SHOULD be good but like 75% feels like throw away trash. Like at least in the older days when movie were cheap cash grabs they looked decent thanks to sets/practical effects/costume design/cinematography. Now we have like none of that and very weak scripts that could MAYBE be short films if they cut out a lot of fluff. I've seen so many recent horror movies that are like 80% melodrama and 20% horror to the point it feels like the horror was added in just to get sales/attention. Like I *want* to like more modern horror but I have much better luck with older stuff

I'm surprised nobody else laughed with you with at that line delivery because holy sh*t he had to be messing with us there

This movie that I still haven't seen makes me crack up. Because every single review the person is sporting the same face as if to say " sooo Not what I expected, or hoped for even"

9:50 this movie was made by the guy that made the Scooby doo cyber chase game. All about that baseball 😂

Horror as a whole is so profitable and popular right now but I kind of feel like Blumhouse is going to singlehandedly become the reason that it goes under again…just a factory pumping out mid quality movies every 1-2 months. It’s giving the slasher boom of the 80s all over again

I watched Fish Jelly's review and they absolutely called out how this movie was such a wasted opportunity. An evil wishing well that demands human sacrifice? The writers could have leaned into that premise so hard. The family could have gone all in. Invite over a school bully, a rival, a nasty coworker, an entire neighborhood pool party fakeout 😈 of will they won't they. This one needs a do over.

So happy that you’re back! The unintentional break was well deserved regardless! 🖤

LETS GO I'm so glad you're back! Genuinely was so happy to see this video in my recommended

happy to see a new video from you! i had a feeling this movie wasn't gonna be that great and thankfully your review has saved me from the time i'd waste watching it lmao. i cannot wait to see your review of Saltburn!

20:25 😂😂😂 I was so enthralled in your video that when you said that I had to rewind and laughed hard, then you hilariously and subconsciously right after talk about the hose and her mouth right after 😅 keep up the great vids, welcome back, recover well, and don't sweat that silly stuff, your audience is here to enjoy your horror reviews and not make you worry about silly things

It's a Blumhouse horror movie that's being released in January.....of course it was terrible lol.

I’m excited for you reviewing Saltburn! I watched when it came out before it got trendy and recommended to you🙌🏻🙌🏻

i missed you! hope you continue to feel better

11:45: “you could probably come up with a better ending…” *Drain and fill the pool.* 18:20: 😀👍

yes lets move on ... cant wait for Saltburn!

Blumhouse movies feeling like a cash grab is nothing new to me. They've been making the same safe, generic PG-13 movies that are cheap and appeal to dumb teens who want to see nothing but pointless jumpscares, for at least 10 years, now. It doesnt matter what the quality of the film is to them. There's no artistry. It's just another product on the conveyer belt. Im surprised people are just now realizing it.

Welcome back 😊

Happy new year!🎉

Omg I’m so happy you like Saltburn and I look forward to that video!! It’s my newest obsession 😂

Love the new setting and your outfit. 🤘🏻

Happy New Year Sarah 😊😊😊😊

They should have made this like Paranormal Activity, but with a pool.

Good review and cool video Sarah!👉🙂👈

Love your analysis! Regarding the baseball plot (huge baseball fan so loved that element) this is Wyatt Russell’s second film where he’s a baseball player (the Linklater comedy Everybody Wants Some! was the other) so I’m guessing that Wyatt Russell may have some early baseball experience pre-acting. I wonder if the baseball focus was added into Night Swim because he could pull off those scenes? Glad you’re feeling better!! ❤

Haha, we love a Sarah rant 🤣 the best start to the new year

I think the first synopsis you read from IMDb was a summary of the 2014 short on KZfaq on which this feature-length movie was based. The short is just the woman terrorized by the spirit. 😮

If you’re looking for a supernatural water movie there’s one called “the drownsman” ! i watched it years ago and really enjoyed it!

my sister and i have been quoting “😐 is he okay” to each other ever since we saw this 💀💀

I hadn't even realized it was a horror movie until after it came out. I didn't see the trailer and I'm aware of a mystery/thriller book by that name, so I assumed it was an adaptation. (The poster looked ambiguous.)

3:58 yes! His line “ Marco” when he was chasing his daughter was so funny when I know the editing was trying to make it scary

Love the hat and shirt!!! 💚

I’m catching up on videos and your mimic of the conversation between the mother and daughter made me think of Madelane Petsch in The Strangers 😅

this movie only worked for me bc I'm disabled, chronically ill, can't swim and afraid of water lol, that's a lot of conditions for ur movie to be scary

Loved the dramatic sarah. So fun to watch😂

the bloated water demon made me laugh so loud in theatures. also the “you’re supposed to say polo” ….really 😭😂

Production companies have been making throwaway cash grab movie for a looooong time now. Nothing new

It is actually was the daughter said "That Dad It Didn't Want That" and the son says "Going to happen someone else" and then they cover it.

Her t shirts are always top notch! I love the green and purple on this 😍

✊”I should not do that” 😂 omg so glad you left that in..just spit out my coffee

really stoked to hear your thoughts on saltburn

I like the new video angle and big saw poster!

“Next critique: characters are STUUUUPID” had me CACKLING😂😂

When it comes to Blumhouse movies as a whole, I love the fact that they’re not afraid to make a movie even if it might not be a strong movie which is the main reason why I love Blumhouse because they’re original, obscure, weird and out there! From The Black Phone which ended up being one of my favorite horror movies along with The Purge and Get Out!

Did anybody really expect “Night Swim” to be good? Let alone with a concept this unbelievable or tricky to pull off? In practice, it’s made even worse partially because the film can’t pick a tone and stick with it (whether to be drastically dire or absurdly silly) and mostly because the premise is way too restrictive and the film has to break itself into pieces to condense it for a full 98 minutes. There are only so many times you can disguise how little something happens while you wait for the disconcerting smoke and mirrors drop. Going for the jugular and providing an unhinged, bonkers experience was probably the better move here, especially since it never does effectively exploit those primal fears around water. And yeah, those jumpscares were garbage. The rest of the elements at play here barely matter. Cinematography is on the drab side, editing is clunky, special effects are embarrassing when you notice them, the pacing drags the otherwise acceptable runtime out to an obscene length and none of the characters stand out. Acting wise, the kids do the best with what they’re given but everyone else might as well be sleepwalking.

I LOVE UR SHIRT OMG WHERE DID U GET

YESSSS SALTBURN HAS REMINDED ME WHY IM PASSIONATE ABOUT FILMS

Thanks for saving me $7. Also, obsessed with your shirt!

I felt the same, I said to my mam leaving the cinema " it's a really good idea but the film feels a little half baked" also the scene where he's possessed and shouts " YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY POLO" Had me laughing😆

"I wish this movie was simpler" yes! I like your ideas and you should have written Night Swim

Idk but blumhouse just knows how to always miss, I can’t really think of any movie of theirs I really like, A24 on the other hand is always a banger

i could never pin point it but now that you said the serious or not comment about Wyatt Russel it made so much sense! I also felt the same about Black Mirror and also on Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier! thank you for putting into words what I always felt, ahahahaha

REM: Night swimming deserves a quiet time. Evil Spirit: NOOOOOO IT DUZZZZZZNT.

the episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark, with the haunted pool was one of my favs!! so this is so disappointing!

*Idea for the background:* Would be cool if you had a green screen the size of a movie poster where the Saw poster is…and you green screen in the poster of the movie you are reviewing on it.

You should watch Deep End. It’s a short here on KZfaq, it’s the same concept as night swim, but the execution and originality is on a whole other level. That short has more depth and plot potential in 4 minutes than this movie in its whole runtime.

😂😂😂 "shh, don't do that." 😅😅😅 I loved this review and you made me lol.

Omgggg the “is he ok” got me too 😂

You literally made me laugh out loud when you did your hand gestures while saying "THEY DID THEIR RESEARCH" XD. Anyways. Totally 100% agree with you on this review. Bad movie. A total taco bell shit of a Blumhouse film. James Wan and Jason Blum should be ashamed to have their names tied to this one.

I’m not gonna, this is my favorite movie review ever! Very informative and entertaining 😂

spoiler/theory i think because the dad sacrificed himself, the possessed water wouldn’t try to come for the family again, but if a new family moved in without knowing, they would be possessed from the water in the house. my theory is that the water that goes to the whole house was possessed not just the pool ? i only assume this bc the dad was acting all possessed when he was taking a shower.

Nothing to say about night swim but I'm sooo excited for the Saltburn review 😅

Man i thought it was just me: Wyatt Russell just always lands so weird for me. In this film, To the point where it was so odd to me that before he was even possessed I was like what’s wrong with him?? LOL😂😂😂

I’m obsessed with Saltburn too,so looking forward to your video about that movie. I’m going to pass on this one. Maybe a late night watch but honestly I can find something better.

I always expect Blumhouse films to be a dumpster fire at this point

The new setup is giving Anthony Fantano

This is a movie I knew I never needed. Saw the first trailer when I went to Saw X and my immediate thought was, "Who wants to see this?"

This movie is literally the storyline of The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon, but the main characters are different.😂

I was fortunate enough to see it with a friend, which made for a fun viewing experience even though the movie was a snoozefest. I gave it 3/5 stars because I had a lot of fun laughing at it and making jokes with my friend. I honestly don't know how I would have felt watching this alone.... probably bored af. It's the kind of concept that makes for a great short film (which it originally was), but can't really be... expanded into a feature length film. ANYWAY, it's okay. Fun to throw on for a watch with friends. Nothing memorable. Your review was spot on

Yay can’t wait for saltburn!! Watched it last night… have been thinking about it ever since. Also big Jacob elordi fan now 😛😅

I mean you have Kerry Condon fresh off an Oscar nomination and this is what you give her.

Blumhouse has done some of my favourites: Get Out, Run, Soft and Quiet, Creep... but also some of the worst; the main problem with them is inconsistency

I have this on my list to watch. Guess I’ll be sailing the seas for this one.

well blumhouse is contract with universal for 10 years. which this year is the end of the 10 year first look. hopefully the movies for the rest of year are better. I'm actually excited for a lot of the movies this year. night swim was okay. too much baseball for me.

“Too much baseball” BASED >>>>> 😂 I agree

The baseball bits alienate me even more, since we don't have it in England
