Join Jason Blum and James Wan in the deep end for a look inside #NightSwimMovie.
Only in theaters January 5.

No running. No diving. No lifeguard on duty. No swimming after dark.
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the producers of M3GAN, high dive into the deep end of horror with the new supernatural thriller, Night Swim.
Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, this fall’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead).
Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.
Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) and is produced by James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Jason Blum, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wan’s Atomic Monster and by Ryan Turek for Blum’s Blumhouse.

00:02 We all have this inherent fear of being in the water.
00:06 I think we should put in a pool cover.
00:08 Even though in your mind you understand that the pool
00:11 is only a few feet deep--
00:13 Marco?
00:14 --Polo, when the lights go out, anything could be beneath you.
00:27 This is a story about a family who, seeking a better life,
00:31 moves in this house with a backyard pool,
00:36 wanting fun and time together.
00:41 Maybe we should have the cookout or something.
00:43 That's a great idea.
00:44 [INAUDIBLE]
00:47 And what they get is a terrifying secret
00:51 that is hidden beneath the surface of that water.
00:53 [SCREAMING]
00:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:57 What do you want from me?
00:59 Why don't you run from me?
01:01 What are you wondering?
01:03 What do you know?
01:04 [SCREAMING]
01:07 It's important for me to find the next generation
01:14 of filmmakers who have what it takes,
01:16 but may not have the platform to be seen.
01:20 I was substitute teaching elementary school,
01:22 and I was writing.
01:25 "Night Swim" is about how I felt when I was a kid,
01:28 in a pool by myself, convinced that there
01:31 was something beneath me.
01:34 You saw something in you.
01:36 James Wan and Jason Blum made some
01:41 of the most iconic horror films of the last decade and a half.
01:45 You team up, and it's a roller coaster ride.
01:49 With Bryce, we were completely won over by his passion
01:53 and vision for the movie.
01:55 I want people to be holding their breath in the theater.
01:58 It's like edge of your seat biting your nails.
02:00 [GASPING]
02:02 There's something beneath the water.
