The Midnight Swim

This was 90 minutes of boredom saved only by the fact that the three sisters are very pretty and you wouldn't mind being stuck in a house with them for a long weekend. As far as any horror elements - I couldn't find them. This was a feminist romp through crazy town and that's pretty much it.

This movie was rooted in outstanding performances by the sisters. Lindsay Burdge is a flat out amazing actress and was maybe even out-acted by Jennifer Lafleur and Aleska Palladino. Their performances alone kept me watching.

However, I am not sure where are these reviews of "horror" and "haunting" are coming from. This movie baits you in to think there will be some bone-chilling climax, but never delivers. This may steer many people away that go into this movie expecting some chills. it is FLAT OUT not suspenseful at all.

This movie is a great story, it is mind bending, and thought provoking with some great acting...but that is where it stops. The story progresses slowly and never really capitalizes on the small moments that are set to build up suspense.

If you do watch, go into it as a short drama with good performances. Do not expect to be blown away by suspense or a thrilling plot.

June (Lindsay Burdge) with her half-sisters Annie (Jennifer Lafleur) and Isa (Aleksa Palladino) travel to the lakeside family vacation home. Their mother Amelia Brooks (Beth Grant) disappeared after going for a swim. Filmmaker June is filming their experience. Mysterious happenings send the girls to suspect something ghostly.

I expected more of a horror. It's trying to be spooky and atmospheric. More than anything, it's very slow. It's a mystery that comes to little. At less than ninety minutes, the movie is too long for its material. I do like the sisterly chemistry, but there isn't much else.

As the mother of 3 daughters I was very curious to watch what was under horror/thriller. It is neither, it is just a really bad movie. Boring but I hung in there waiting for something , anything to happen. Ya, nothing here in this movie, let me tell you my favorite part aside from end credits was how nice the strawberries looked at breakfast with the 3 sisters..skip this one !

If you're all about the feels and could care less about substance, you'll probably love this and coo about it to all your gal (and maybe certain guy) pals.

Solid film-making and acting are wasted.

For a better movie, with a similar concept, setting and an actual payoff, watch Honeymoon (2014).
