Forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, former baseball player Ray Waller moves into a new house with his wife and two children.

The film drops significantly when the monster is fully revealed, with critics universally mocking the poor CGI design.

Night Swim starts with moderate effectiveness in its premise and family setup, maintains decent tension through the mythology reveal, but crashes hard when the monster design is exposed. Critics consistently praised the concept and cast while lamenting the generic execution and laughable creature effects.
