'After DUEL but before JAWS.'
Summary Stephen King shares a glowing review for a recent horror film, Night Swim, referencing Steven Spielberg's breakout film, Duel. Marking the feature directorial debut for Bryce McGuire, based on his 2014 short film of the same name, the horror movie follows a family who moves into a new suburban home and discovers the backyard swimming pool is haunted by a malevolent force. The cast includes Wyatt Russell , the Oscar-nominated Kerry Condon , Amélie Hoeferle , and Gavin Warren .
The acclaimed horror author and frequent film critic "loved" Night Swim, and says it's "like a lost, low-budget film from Spielberg's early period...say, after DUEL but before JAWS." Check out King's full comments below: Though King "loved" Night Swim and was inspired to share a glowing review, the critical response has differed drastically. Reviews were mostly negative, resulting in Night Swim's Rotten Tomatoes score sinking to an abysmal 22 percent, with a Critics Consensus that reads, "Despite a promising start and a handful of solid scares, Night Swim is undone by a premise that just isn't strong enough to support a feature-length film.
