Review by: Michael Phillips - The Chicago Tribune
As supernatural thrillers go, “Night Swim” is a quick dip — persuasively acted and quite effective in its first half, scattered and woozy in its second.

For the most part... this feature version of “Night Swim” further demonstrates the truism that longer is rarely better when it comes to movies. The original was short, sharp and shocking.

Something is missing from Night Swim, nothing up on screen to insist this as anything else but more-of-the-same first week filler. Pool empty.

Night Swim keeps muddying the waters by throwing in clichéd elements lifted from other, scarier movies like It: Chapter One and The Amityville Horror, and it ends up drowning in its own detritus as a result.

Night Swim eventually runs out of places to go, but not before it weds some sneaky character development to a few good, solid jump moments. It might not find an audience, but it deserves one.

While diverting enough for its forgiving 98-minute runtime, Night Swim neither sinks nor floats. It just wades in the waters of “whatever.”

I can think of many, many better ways to usher in a new year than the very damp effort that is “Night Swim” — aren’t wet ghosts inherently more sad than scary? — but you play the hand you’re dealt.

Review by: Matthew Monagle - Austin Chronicle
It may be damning with faint praise to describe Night Swim as a solid movie, but horror fans know just how dark and deep the bottoms of their genre can be. We’ll take what McGuire has to offer every day of the week.
