The pool

About This Movie

So, 'The Pool' from 2022 is quite an odd little gem. It has this eerie, dreamlike quality that just lingers with you. A father and daughter on vacation, enjoying their time together, but then—poof—everyone vanishes. The atmosphere is thick with tension and isolation, which really draws you in. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the surreal vibe while exploring themes of loss and desperation. The performances are pretty solid, especially the dad, who really conveys that sense of panic and confusion. And, while it might not rely heavily on flashy effects, there’s something about the practical elements that just feels more grounded. It's a curious watch, definitely stands out in the fantasy genre.
