I know I’m in the minority on that one but it essentially turns into a haunted house movie with dinosaurs instead of ghosts at one point. And… I just realized you were pointing out I got the title wrong. Corrected.
I'm always up for a new take on the Alive saga, ever since the original book was read aloud in class by my sixth grade teacher. Good idea? Bad? Forget about it, it was the '70s....
Odie Henderson spent a good portion of the day mercilessly ripping on NIGHT SWIM on Bluesky. It's been much more entertaining than I imagine the film ever could be.
Swimming pool that eats people, blatant King aping... it's giving strong The Raft vibes. Strong contender for both best King short story and most malevolent wet garbage bag in the Creepshow 2 version.
I've gotta go back and rewatch Jurassic Park: Fallen World, because I don't think I've seen that one.

That one wasn't Jurassic World: Fallen Park was it?

Fallen Kingdom is indeed underrated. Those setpieces rip! It's the only Jurassic World film I like.
"McGuire busies himself by inventing a generations-long backstory about the origins of the pool water "
jeeeez. if nothing else in your review convinced me I didn't want to see this film, this line sealed it.
also: remember Short Cuts from the Dissolve days? any chance you two might revive the short film suggestions here occasionally? I loved that.

Kerry Condon! What the hell is she doing in that dreck one year removed from an oscar nom?!
I'm surprised you didn't credit Kerry Condon as BANSHEES OF INISHERIN's Kerry Condon...
Ye can't credit Kerry Condon as being from BETTER CALL SAUL! It isn't nice!
