The Midnight Swim
Directed by Sarah Adina Smith
Eerie things start happening when three sisters return to their lakeside home and summon the spirit of a drowned girl. First dead birds start appearing on their doorstep, then other creepy happenings. What do these ominous signs mean - and what’s their connection to a local legend, their mother’s death and the lake which may be calling June towards it? Sarah Adina Smith’s genre-bending debut is an elegant mixture of psychological thriller, ghost story and POV horror. Though offscreen much of the time, Lindsay Burdge (THE INVITATION) gives a haunting lead performance.

A magnificent achievement in writing, acting, cinematography, and general filmmaking prowess, The Midnight Swim will, nevertheless perplex some members’ expectations regarding what to expect from a horror film in general, and from a cabin on a secluded lake type film specifically. Personally, I can’t think of a single way to improve upon the film that the creators came up with. Congratulations to everyone involved. I look forward to your next!
It’s true…you’d think something would happen at the end beyond the cultish origin. But the incredibly creepy and unsettling times set beforehand earn many skulls.
I mostly liked it while i was watching it, but it was surprisingly unsatisfying after. it's really pretty i guess.
Hard to immerse myself into this film. I was expecting it to be better
doesn't really go anywhere. ultimately kind of dull
