This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Night Swim has several scenes at nighttime where the light in a pool flickers, creating severe strobe effects. Important plot points happen during these scenes. Some video clips are shown with mild glitching effects.
Several scenes take place underwater or on the surface of the water. Two long shots, including the opening shot, use a slow rolling motion of the camera.
Flashing Lights: 9/10. Motion Sickness: 4/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: Late in the film, two people cough up a scary-looking fluid, with heaving motions and noises.
“Night Swim” was fine. It’s absolutely what you’d expect from an early January release horror movie. It at least tries, which does count for something. What ruins the movie is that it just isn’t that scary. Once you see the monster, it immediately loses steam since it’s one of the goofiest looking designs for an evil pool demon.
The psychology at work in a film like Night Swim deals with the fact that water can be inherently scary to a lot of people. Why is that? Kerry Condon, who stars in the film with Wyatt Russell, has her own theories about why a horror film about water appeals to some of our darkest instincts.
