Regardless of whether we’re supposed to chuckle at our hero’s crumbling sanity or empathize with his strife, it’s empty-calorie viewing designed for viewers to either mock or embrace its hijinks.

What could have been a deliciously dark satire, instead remains in the liminal space known as aggressively average.

The red herrings don’t net much of anything, except making us realize that Prinze Jr. and Potter deserve better than this.

The Girl in the Pool is bad, but bad in a fun sort of way. I’m not saying, “It’s so bad it’s good,” but director Dakota Gorman has accidentally found her way into getting something workable.

Rated: 5/10

If ever a film leaned into being so bad it’s good, this is certainly a contender.

Rated: 2/5

Good amount of suspense for a glorified Lifetime movie with some small twists but not the big twist that was expected.

Thought it might be an interesting movie before heading to bed. Started out ok enough but just got cheesier as it progressed. Thought acting would be better as well. Also got worse as it progressed. As I watched more and more of it, I was hooked to see how it could possibly end within the time frame left. JMO, but pretty bad overall. Went to bed thinking of justified budgets?

Would have served better if were for a dark-comedy and it was because of a birthday party surprise prank with hallucinogenic drugs . . in the vein of Scooby-Doo (2002)

This movie was so absurdly terrible that I thought it must be a parody or a dark comedy. But no. It’s just a really bad movie.
