Short description
Forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, former baseball player Ray Waller moves into a new house with his wife and two children. Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.
What's left behind the scenes
- In reality, there is no access from the house where the on-location shooting took place to the garage, and the pool is visible from the lawn in front of the house. The facade was constructed to make the pool invisible from the lawn.
- Children attend Harold Holt School (1908-1967), the seventeenth Prime Minister of Australia, who disappeared while swimming in the ocean.
- The entire mythology was invented and developed by director and screenwriter Bryce McGuire, although some of its aspects actually exist. The word “Temagami” sounds Japanese, but in reality it comes from the Ojibwe language (Ojibwe are a Native American people). It roughly means deep water, as Lucy, played by Jodie Long, explains in the film, but there are no Ojibwe legends about healing waters. McGuire drew on legends and tales of wells that grant wishes and keys that bestow healing. It is widely believed that if you throw a coin into a well or even into a fountain basin (in other words, make an offering or sacrifice), a wish may come true. While preparing for the film, McGuire studied various cultures in terms of their people's attitude towards water – for example, Celtic mythology and the legends of the natural well (cenote) of Chichen Itza in Mexico, where the Mayan god of rain was said to reside. Among other things, McGuire drew inspiration from the Bible – specifically the references to the healing properties of the Jordan River. He wanted to explore the aspect of the relationship with water based on sacrifice and receiving something in return, hence the premise that the pool will require something in exchange for a blessing.
