Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
I’ve noticed that a lot of modern directors, especially in mainstream horror, seem to struggle with really capturing what makes a movie scary. It feels like the art of truly terrifying people is fading away, and movies just aren’t as frightening as they used to be.

Take Night Swim, for instance. The concept caught my attention, the technical work is solid, and the cast does a good job, but it still didn’t leave a strong impression on me. I think the problem lies in the direction. It felt amateurish and completely missed the mark on how to handle the core idea and really make the audience feel that fear.

What surprised me even more is that James Wan, a big name in horror, is one of the producers, along with Jason Blum, who’s also pretty well-known among fans.
