I know someone's out there.

Hey there, listeners.

Welcome to Horror Movie Club, the show where two dudes,

who aren't quite nerds, but not quite nubes.

Choose a horror movie each week to rate and review.

I'm Oshvin, I'm on the phone with Brian, and this week we're talking about the 2024 film, Night Swim, written and directed by Bryce McGuire and starring Wyatt Russell and Carrie Condon.

In this film, a family moves into a house that has a swing pool with the haunted past.

If you are knee to our show, the top of the episode is going to be spoiler-free.

We'll just talk about the background of the film.

Then we'll take a quick break.

You'll hear some music, and then we'll jump into the plot, hit the spoilers, and review the film.

Brian, this is the first 24 horror film.

Were you excited to be back in theaters?

Yeah, a little excited to get back in the swing of things, but not particularly excited because I did not have high hopes for this movie,

because January is typically

a bit of a dump month for horror especially, but other genres as well. And Blumhouse has just

been kind of thinking it up lately. Just making really underwhelming movies.

Yeah, I think the trend with Blumhouse last year was like over promote and like try to build this hype and then you come in with these unrealistic expectations.

Night swim, I kind of feel like they might have done the opposite.

It's a time of year where you're right movies aren't supposed to be that great.

And I don't feel like they went overboard on promotion for this one, did they?

Yeah, the promotion did not, they didn't go that hard with it.
