CGEM Talent star ELIJAH ROBERTS’ joins Blumhouse feature film, “NIGHT SWIM”
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, the film stars WYATT RUSSELL (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Overlord) 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, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), teenage daughter Izzy (AMÉLIE HOEFERLE, 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.
The stellar supporting cast includes JODI LONG (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), NANCY LENEHAN (Catch Me If You Can), EDDIE MARTINEZ (Justified: City Primeval), newcomer ELIJAH ROBERTS and RAHNUMA PANTHAKY (Modern Family).
