Impressively boring for a film about a killer swimming pool. It had some nice shots in the pool and the acting was decent but the script was just so lame.

I think the biggest issue is that it took itself way too seriously. The concept is so absurd that it should've been campy and fun, like M3GAN or Malignant, but this was clearly trying to be a Real Horror Movie for the most part.

It's also padded to shit. This could've lost 20 minutes and been a tight 80 minute movie and been all the better for it. By the time Kerry Condon is googling the past of the house I was just totally checked out.

PG-13 rating also made it feel very tame. The pool party scene should've been like the climax of Piranha 3D with just a bunch of gory kills in the pool with people unable to escape, or even PG-13 it would've been interesting if the pool just disappeared a shit ton of people at once and the surviving families were left to make sense of it, but that's probably a totally different movie.

Also the Marco Polo scene was laughable. Girl, the second the music cuts out and the pool starts flickering (she would've been able to see that through her eyelids), I would've opened my eyes.

Some short films should just stay short films.
