Night Swim, a terrifying aquatic horror film produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, will kick off in 2024. Based on the short film by Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst (the former of whom returns to direct the feature adaptation), Night Swim depicts a suburban family’s dream home transformed into a house of horrors. More specifically, the derelict pool the family inherits when they purchase the house has become the source of some strange occurrences, all linked to a mysterious ghostly figure living in the pool.
A traditional family of four is battling this demonic presence, with each member played by a talented actor. Read on to find out who will be in the cast of Night Swim 2024, one of the new year’s first horror films.
Night Swim Cast and their Roles
- Wyatt Russell as Ray Waller
Russell portrays former baseball star Ray Waller, who was forced to retire from the Major Leagues after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. The rest of his family hopes he’ll be able to move on from his career goals, as does Ray. However, a small part of him remains hopeful that he will be able to overcome his health issues and return to the major leagues.
Ray’s negative thoughts become more apparent when something supernatural begins to creep into the Waller family home—perhaps beginning to manifest when he cuts himself while restoring the derelict pool. Whatever dark entity presides over the pool starts to take hold of Ray, gradually turning him from a benevolent father figure into an unrecognizable monster that resents his quiet suburban lifestyle.
- Kerry Condon as Eve Waller
An acclaimed Irish actress, Kerry Condon, portrays Ray Waller’s better half. Eve has been by her husband’s side throughout his career collapse and debilitating illness, serving as a devoted mother to their children. When they get a new house with a fancy new pool, Eve likely sees it as an opportunity for the family to start over, putting their various hardships aside for a new life. Those hopes are dashed when Eve’s children tell disturbing stories about a creature related to the pool. When she notices her husband acting unusually cruelly, what initially appears to be children’s imagination becomes much more severe.
- Amélie Hoeferle as Izzy Waller
Amélie Hoeferle, a relative newcomer, will play the Waller clan’s eldest child. Izzy, who embodies the classic archetype of the rebellious teenager, does not always follow orders and occasionally goes against her parents’ wishes. A clear example is when Izzy decides to go for a late-night swim with a boy she has a crush on, even though her parents are unlikely to approve. She stays true to the film’s title by going for a night swim, where she first encounters the spirit that haunts the pool.
- Gavin Warren as Elliot Waller
Elliot, the Wallers’ fourth and final family member, is played by Gavin Warren, who also stars in First Man and Fear the Walking Dead. Like the rest of his family, Elliot was excited about moving into a new house with their pool. Like the rest, Elliot quickly realizes that there’s something wrong with the new pool they are excited about. Elliot encounters the mysterious entity closely during the day, just as the creature almost killed his sister during her nightly swim. When he notices something caught in the pool’s filter, the beast goes full Pennywise and grabs his arm. Later, he is also seemingly abducted.
