Giving this an 7/10 rating
First horror of the year, and it's not a gory one, lots of some blood, but mostly dread and some good camera work here. Based on a short film now turned into a feature by Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst, it does the job of a good story, getting good use out of actors Wyatt Russell, Kerry Condon , Amélie Hoeferle.
The creature is an Undine, a water spirit, so it's all water based terror, which makes a change, the reveal at the last part of the film, you can work it out, if you know your creatures, the pool really does get some great use and shots too. It's not a massive horror stand out, but it's the first of the year and worth a look.
It's fine entertainment and Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon really do pull it off, the set pieces are simple, but done well, great stunt work and look overall of blues and greens and darkness.
