This movie seems likevit was based on a concept of a supernatural encounter in a pool. That is what the trailer shows. That is not enough to sustain a feature length movie, so backstories had to be written to prop up the pool scene.
The plot is supposedly about a pool built over an old wishing well. A wish or desire is sought, the waters in the pool grant the wish, but someone must die to make it happen.
This film looks like it was written backwards. The storyline doesn't stay true to the fable, and once the premise is not followed, the film deteriorates.
The writing is weak; some of the script is downright bad.
The child actors are poor.
And there it is. . . In the end credits; "Night Swim is based on a short film. . ." Sometimes short films don't translate to the big screen.
