The Pool (2014)
7/10
Vanishing point
28 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A horror film from the Nether-lands...sounds scary in itself. Len (Gijs Scholten van Aschat) and Rob (Bart Klever) have been downsized from their banking jobs. They plan to discuss a new consulting business on vacation where they drag their unwilling families into the woods. Len decides they need to trespass to get to a good spot, one near a mosquito breeding ground, or pool. While at the pool, secrets are revealed, things rot and decay at accelerated speeds and emotions run high as the siren/witch/spirit of the pool doesn't allow anyone to leave unless...

There are a number of films where people are trapped and they always circle around to where they started having to finish a task to leave. This is another one except it has English subtitles. We get a glimpse of the event that happened to cause a curse, although no real explanation was given, it was up to the viewer to figure out. The film has a descent into madness scenes to make things interesting.

Fairy decent horror.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity...perhaps that was supposed to be blurred rear nudity in one scene.
