The Pool

2018 · 91 min

A sweaty, claustrophobic endurance test that traps you in a drained pool with mounting dread and grisly consequences.

Tagline
No water. No ladder. No way out.
Overview
Left alone to clean up a 6-meter-deep deserted pool, Day falls asleep on an inflatable raft. When he wakes, the water level has sunk so low that he can't climb out on his own. Stuck in the pool, Day screams for help, but the only thing that hears him is a creature from a nearby crocodile farm.
