Juonikuvaukset(1)
Wyatt Russell on Ray Waller – rappeuttavan sairauden vuoksi varhaiseläköitynyt entinen baseball-pelaaja, joka muuttaa uuteen kotiin huolestuneen vaimonsa Even (Oscar®-ehdokas Kerry Condon), teini-ikäisen tyttärensä Izzyn (Amélie Hoeferle) ja nuoren poikansa Elliotin (Gavin Warren) kanssa. Vastoin kaikkia todennäköisyyksiä Ray salaa toivoo voivansa vielä palata pelikentille ja vakuuttaa vaimolleen, että uuden kodin takapihalla sijaitseva uima-allas tarjoaa sekä hupia lapsille että fysioterapiaa hänelle. Kodin menneisyydestä löytyvä synkkä salaisuus vapauttaa kuitenkin pahantahtoisen voiman, joka raahaa perheen vääjäämättömien kauhujen syövereihin. (Finnkino)

The first mainstream horror film of the year and it is, as expected, a yawner. The haunted pool idea could have been original, but it's generic to the point of woe in every way. No atmosphere, the scares don't work, it's so light and soft in every way. I'm pretty sick and tired of genre flicks like this. Not fun. 4/10.

A generic January horror flick with zero ideas and even more lacklustre execution. It's like Jason Blum suddenly called out on a whim, "Make me... eh... a haunted pool movie in one week. Go!" It's all bland, cribbed from a blueprint seen a hundred times, devoid of any energy, devoid of anything memorable. No one here has tried to do anything more than make it at least visually look like a movie for the cinema. A puddle at the bottom of a real swimming pool is scarier and, unfortunately, more creative than this entire would-be horror film.

The premise with the mysterious and dangerous swimming pool is quite original, but unfortunately it doesn't provide enough material to fill the entire running time in any interesting way. It's an hour and a half long, and it's still too long. After half an hour, the escalating situations start to get repetitive and just boil over (sic!!), and by the last tense twenty minutes it starts to get ridiculous too, there's a lot of black liquid spitting and tearing, and the bland and young Wyatt Russell tries in vain to convey any emotion. Most of the time it didn't offend me with its stupidity, but I still don't understand the cinema release, this only belongs on stream. In the case of Kurt Russell, as well as, say, Clint Eastwood, it's true that their sons don't have much charisma or acting talent.
