Night Swim (2024) – Movie Review
“Night Swim” may scratch that itch for horror fans who need a jump scare, but it certainly won’t start off the year on a high note for Blumhouse like “M3GAN” did.

While “The Book of Clarence” may seem potentially controversial because it contains Jesus of Nazareth, outside of some of the conversations it could start, it is tame to the point of being boring.
Between the music and performances, the 2023 version of “The Color Purple” does enough to stand out, but it sometimes falters if you compare it to the 1985 movie.
In “Anyone But You” two people find themselves in a push and pull situation as they fake a relationship they realize might be just what they needed.
A murder accusation leads a woman to try to work with a corrupt cop for her freedom or suffer jail time.
“Poor Things” is a bizarre dark comedy featuring a coming-of-age story and the sexual awakening of a woman given a second chance at life.
“The Iron Claw” may not go far enough to push any specific actor into an accolade conversation, but there is no denying this movie can drive you to tears.
Timothee Chalamet, in channeling the light, curiosity, and silliness of Willy Wonka, brings the more lovable side out of the iconic character.
“How I Learned To Fly” is weighed down by focusing heavily on the struggles of its lead characters for too long before giving us a silver lining, levity, or some sign things are going to get better.
“Monster,” as it shifts perspectives from one character to the next, pushes you to ask who the real monster of this story is.
“American Fiction” may not have anything new to say with its social commentary about media, but it still is able to deliver laughs, touching moments, and a handful of frustration.
In this disaster movie, instead of action stars, we get leads known for their dramatic abilities who are tasked with surviving apocalyptic situations with none of them playing the role of the world’s savior.
While Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman face off in ways that remind you of their most wicked characters, Charles Melton, trapped in the middle, finds room to have a remarkable performance, likely to shift his career.
“Wish” seems like it was made for Disney Plus as part of Disney’s 100th anniversary celebration, but someone had enough faith in it to garner a theatrical release.
“Retribution,” without question, is very on-brand for Liam Neeson, but with his character stuck in a car and not fighting anyone, he channels his trademark intensity in a different way.
“Birth/Rebirth” in using death as the villain, and humanity as morally grey, gives you an engaging horror film that isn’t dependent on blood, guts, and violence to keep you watching.
While “Mad Fate” is bizarre and makes an effort to keep up a high level of energy as you are led to wonder when, or if, its lead may snap and kill again, after a certain point, it becomes a bore.
A mother starting over after a divorce finds herself enamored by a young girl with a heartening story who is homeless. Thus she takes her in and finds a renewed energy in her household.
“Passages,” on the surface, can seem like a narcissistic man trying to have his cake and eat it too, but the deeper it goes, the more you see how relationships were long troubles before social media and app dating.
Similar to the Spiderman franchise, it seems all the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” franchise needed was to be rebooted enough times to recapture the magic.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
