EVERYTHING YOU FEAR IS UNDER THE SURFACE.

When the Wallers buy a new house, they soon learn that strange things seem to go in the pool, of all places.

A short film turned into a feature where the main problem is a degree of silliness that’s hard to avoid. What tricks will the haunted swimming pool play to hurt the family? You won’t be dying to find out. In spite of a willingness to create another Poltergeist (1982), it’s never scary or engaging enough.

Still, there’s an OK explanation and background story for the deadly pool.
