The Pool (2018)

Directed by Ping Lumpraploeng

Horror is in a bit of a weird spot right now. Movie theatres are closed and even though my preferred chain is set to open in mid-August I have no expectations that it will actually do so. Regardless of all that, horror movies are still going strong with many new releases opening successfully in Drive-Ins and Video On Demand, and it truly warms my heart. The film I’m looking at today was not recently released but it did just find its way stateside thanks to the fine folks at the horror streaming service Shudder. It does feel very timely though because it deals with contemporary issues like isolation, despair, and social distancing. In this case, someone is socially distancing with a crocodile but I think my point still stands.
