One horror movie to release earlier this year that didn’t particularly resonate with critics or audiences has finally found a streaming home now more than seven months after release.Night Swim, which starsWyatt RussellandKerry Condon, is officially streaming on Prime Video as of today after premiering in theaters on January 5. Although the film wasn’t particularly beloved by critics or general audiences,it did gross $32 million domestically and another $22 million overseasfor a worldwide total of more than $54 million, all on a reported budget of $15 million. In addition to Russell and Condon,Night Swimalso starsAmélie Hoeferle,Gavin Warren, andJodi Long, and currently sits at"rotten"scores of 20% from critics and 43% from general audiences onRotten Tomatoes.
Night Swimwas written and directed byBryce McGuire, who had previously only directed one other feature film,Unfollowedin 2018. He was credited as a writer on the screenplay forBaghead, the 2023 horror film that starsWitcherleadFreya Allan. McGuire managed to secure several big names for his second directorial outing withNight Swim, and although the film didn’t wow with review scores and won’t be taking home anyAcademy Awards, grossing north of $50 million on a budget of only $15 million is an appealing profit margin to many studios. He has been tapped to next directBad Bloom, but don’t be surprised if more McGuire movies are coming down the pipe.
