A Eurotrash slasher film with teenagers so lifeless, they didn't need to be whacked!
This is one of those recent attempts of late to make an American-style movie with European funds; pictures like ANATOMY, DEEP IN THE WOODS and LEGION OF THE DEAD fall into this category. THE POOL does a poor job of it. Tedium sets in immediately, and since the one good murder episode appears rather early in the film, you can shut it off fairly quickly. There's no excuse for a dull movie about teenagers getting sliced and diced (even WITHOUT an apparent motive)!
