When I saw the trailer for the film, I was drawn in. Final Thoughts If you like underwater, claustrophobic horror thrillers, then this is your film. The only qualm I have about the film is that Tobin Bell as McGradey is barely in the film. Estranged already, we learn of a bitterness between them stemming from years of opposing paths begun by a tragedy in their youth that haunts them to this day The muted blue tones of the pool help keep some desperation and the dialogue, which is crucial since there is—by extension of the premise—nearly no action, is mostly compelling, though the entire setup edges a little too close to metaphorical. Bree Nora-Jane Noone and Jonna Alexandra Park have had a hard childhood with an abusive father, but more is explored as Jonna has had some problems with drugs while Bree has had a better life with her fairy-tale fiancé. Also, the relationship between the sisters was written beautifully.
In the film… Sisters Bree and Jonna get trapped beneath the fiberglass cover of an Olympic sized public pool after it closes for the holiday weekend. These amateur ghost hunters get much more than they bargained for when the power goes out, they hear unearthly noises and discover demons lurking in a hidden basement deep beneath the cold, stone structure that now. Official Synopsis: Inspired by true events, two sisters are trapped under the fiberglass cover of an Olympic sized public pool and must brave the cold and each other to survive the harrowing night. I think he is probably in it for a total of 10 minutes. The story works, even with it being based on true events. This film, for me, was a thrill ride; it takes a look at what would it be like to have to not only fight for your life but fight to stay alive.
If you saw the trailer and are expecting Tobin Bell to pull off a Jigsaw spin-off, then you are going to be sadly mistaken. I definitely was pulled in by the acting and the tension. When in a situation where you are probably going to die, you have an epiphany of your life. Four paranormal research students are sent to an abandoned complex to conduct an investigation into strange occurrences that the locals feel are the results of demonic possessions. Summer is here, and with it, some summer horror flicks that will make you never want to go in the water ever again.
A very interesting and original little thriller. Was following the sister's journey and hoping they find a way out. . They find themselves at the mercy of the night janitor, Clara, who sees the trapped sisters as an opportunity to solve a few problems of her own. So dive in with us as I take a look at this underwater horror. Alexandra Park, Nora-Jane Noone, Diane Farr and Tobin Bell star.
It makes good use of the limited set, the pool and the small gap of air between the surface and the pool cover provide plenty of chilling close-ups of the women's failing faces as they come to grips with their surreal reality. Thousands of gallons of water. . . .
