Blumhouse's Killer Pool Movie Gets a Genuinely Terrifying New Trailer

The first trailer for the new James Wan/Blumhouse production, Night Swim, already creeped us out. Two teens playing Marco Polo in the dark and a demon joins in? Freaky. Now, the full trailer is here and it reveals that the teaser was just the tip of the iceberg. What hides beneath the surface is far, far more terrifying.

Written and directed by relative newcomer Bryce McGuire, Night Swim stars Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon as parents who buy a new house with a pool. A pool they fix up with horrible, violent results. Check out the new trailer.

Night Swim | Official Trailer 2

I knew this trailer was gonna work when it started with the most evil part of the entire pool: the skimmer. Anytime you put your hand in that thing, it feels like it’s going to get sucked up. From there though, the trailer goes places and shows things I totally wasn’t expecting. Wyatt Russell gets possessed? This is Kerry Condon’s movie? Those things are very intriguing!

Even if Night Swim only partially works in terms of being a scary, creepy horror film, it will be a nice way to kick off the new year. This past year surely proved, once again, the power of horror at the box office--and 2024 is sure to continue that trend.

Co-starring Amélie Hoeferle and Gavin Warren, Night Swim opens on January 5.

While we count down the moments until the Emmy-winning series returns on June 20, we thought we’d also look back on season four, highlighting 14 of our favorite and most memorable moments (in no particular order... though we do have one very top favorite, as you’ll see) involving mostly Rick and Morty—but also Summer, Beth, Jerry, and Rick and Morty ’s creatively deployed guest stars too. “Why can you talk?” Screenshot: Adult Swim The A-plot of episode four, “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty,” follows the adventures of Rick, Morty, and Summer as they attempt to rescue Morty’s “slut dragon,” Balthromaw, from an evil wizard. ...

Loki: Chris Hemsworth Records New Lines for Throg Role

Chris Hemsworth is Thor Image: Marvel Believe it or not, Chris Hemsworth appears in the latest episode of Loki. Well, his voice does. The Kate Herron directed-episode titled Journey into Mystery , takes place in a location at the end of time created by the Time Variance Authority called The Void. It’s in this void that viewers see Throg (a version of Thor in Frog form from Earth-97161) trapped inside a bottle deep underground as he tries to break out to reach his Mjolnir. When Herron was on the ForAllNerds podcast last Friday, she revealed that Chris Hemsworth is the voice of Throg. You don’t hear the Frog say any dialogue, but the scream it lets out is by Hemsworth . Herron had him record new lines and sounds strictly for the show, and she kept it a well-hidden secret. “Throg, getting him in [was fun],” Herron said on the podcast. “We recorded Chris Hemsworth for that, by the way. I haven’t told anyone that yet, by the way, but we recorded him for that, so that’s a new record...
