About This Movie

So, 'Pool' from 1993 is this curious little film that seems to float in a space of its own. The atmosphere is kind of haunting in a way, almost like you're submerged in water the whole time. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but there’s a certain charm to its rawness—it’s not trying too hard to impress, which is refreshing. The themes of isolation and introspection are palpable, and while the director’s identity remains a mystery, the practical effects have this gritty authenticity that’s quite striking. Performances are understated but resonate on a deeper level, making you think about the complexities of life and relationships. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.

'Pool' has a bit of a cult following among collectors, mainly because it's one of those obscure titles that doesn’t pop up often. Various formats have circulated, but good luck finding a solid copy; most are pretty worn out. Collectors appreciate its uniqueness and the mystery surrounding its production, making it a sought-after title for those interested in hidden gems of the early '90s cinema.
