2015 ·1h 40m · ★ 6.1 (30)

A bullied loner finds solace in another boy's arms when they meet at a haunted swimming pool.

Why it matters

A tender and atmospheric queer coming-of-age ghost story that blends supernatural dread with adolescent longing.

  • Subverts haunted house tropes by centering a fragile, intimate bond rather than cheap scares.
  • Uses the eerie, abandoned pool setting as a metaphor for isolation and the murky waters of identity.
  • Perfect for fans of slow-burn hauntings and LGBTQ+ horror intersections, recalling the mood of films like *Let the Right One In*.
  • The film’s quiet melancholy and subtle visuals linger, proving horror can be as much about emotion as terror.
