00:01There's a pool.
00:03I always wanted a pool.
00:05Y'all ready?
00:13You need to say something back.
00:21I can hear you.
00:24Why aren't you saying anything?
00:30The movie opens in 1992.
00:48The water in the pool ripples and a toy boat emerges from within as its motor whirring.
00:53The noise wakes Rebecca, who spots the boat from her window.
00:56She rushes to her brother, Tommy, who is unwell, and tells him that she just saw his missing boat in the pool and decides to retrieve it for him.
01:04Using a leaf net, she tries to pull the boat out but is abruptly pulled into the water.
01:08Struggling to escape, she sees her mother, Lucy, reaching for her.
01:12However, as Rebecca resurfaces, she realizes that her mother is nowhere to be seen.
01:17Just then, the pool lights start flickering and the boat resurfaces.
01:21She moves towards it but the boat drifts forward.
01:23The moment she grabs it, she is pulled underwater once again.
01:26Then we see blurry figures of several people appear in the distance.
01:30Suddenly, Rebecca resurfaces, gasping for help, only to be dragged back in.
01:35A moment later, everything falls silent.
01:41Then we see a family is searching for a new home.
01:44The agent, Kay, recognizes Ray as a well-known baseball player.
01:48Ray admits he's focusing on recovery after an injury.
01:51Driving through a lively neighborhood, they notice children playing and families enjoying the evening.
01:57That's when they spot a house for sale.
01:59Later, Kay shows them the property.
02:01Then, Eve finds her husband Ray standing by the pool and tells him she used to be afraid of pools.
02:06Ray, on the other hand, shares that he always wanted one in his home.
02:10As their kids call for them, Eve walks away.
02:13Ray notices a baseball floating in the pool.
02:16As he reaches for it, he is suddenly pulled underwater.
02:18There, he sees flashes of his past, himself playing baseball, the crowd cheering.
02:23He resurfaces, gasping for air, and struggles to pull himself out.
02:27Just then, his family rushes to help him up, and we see him holding the baseball.
02:32Later, a doctor advises Ray and Eve to get a more accurate diagnosis for Ray.
02:37She tells him to put baseball aside for now, and recommends low-impact activities, like walking, yoga, or swimming.
02:44Later, Ray confides in Eve, saying he doesn't want to be the sick guy and struggles to define their life now.
02:51He suggests, buying the other house.
02:53Mentioning that the pool could help with water therapy, Eve admits she has always wanted a place of their own.
02:59She's tired of the kids constantly changing schools every time Ray gets traded.
03:04She just needs to know that he wants it, too.
03:06Ray reassures her that he does.
03:08Then, we see the family moving into their new house.
03:11They also have a cat named Cider.
03:13As they settle in, the family works on fixing up the pool.
03:16Ray is cleaning the drain when Izzy tells him she plans to join the school's swim team.
03:20Ray encourages her, but suddenly, while cleaning, he accidentally cuts his hand, causing it to bleed.
03:26At that moment, dirty water starts gushing out of the drain.
03:30The scene then cuts to a professional they hired to fix the pool.
03:33He assures them that it will be ready for use in a week.
03:36A week later, the family enjoys the pool.
03:38Eve tosses in coins, and the kids dive to collect them.
03:41Ray walks through the water for exercise, and soon, everyone is having fun.
03:46Later that night, Eve is working when she decides to take a swim.
03:49As she dives into the pool, she notices Cider nearby, looking scared before running off.
03:55As she continues swimming, she suddenly spots a man standing by the pool.
03:59But when she resurfaces, no one is there.
04:01Just then, the pool lights flicker, and frightened, she quickly gets out and heads to the bedroom, where Ray is asleep.
04:08He wakes up as she asks if he had just been outside.
04:12He says no, he had fallen asleep.
04:14She suggests installing a pool cover and checking the pool lights, and he agrees.
04:19Meanwhile, Cider is seen on the starting block as a toy boat rises from the water and begins whirring.
04:25Cider purrs, then a growl is heard.
04:27The next morning, Elliot sees Cider's neckband in the pool.
04:31Eve consoles Elliot, assuring him that Cider will return when he's hungry.
04:35Meanwhile, Ray retrieves the neckband from the pool.
04:38Upon going inside, he notices that the wound on his hand has completely healed.
04:42It's gone without a trace.
04:44Later, the family is seen covering the pool.
04:46Just then, Eve jolts awake from a dream.
04:49She notices that Ray is not in bed and looks out the window, only to see him swimming effortlessly, like a perfectly healthy and fit person.
04:57The next day, they visit the doctor, who examines Ray and is astonished by the result.
05:02She remarks that she has never seen such a dramatic improvement in such a short span.
05:08Even Ray believe it's due to the new diet and water therapy.
05:11Later, Elliot asks his mom for permission to swim.
05:14She advises him not to go alone.
05:16Elliot then approaches Ray and asks if they can dive for coins together.
05:20Ray draws a smiley face on one of the coins and tells Elliot to throw it into the pool, promising to find it later.
05:26Instead, Elliot sticks the smiley coin onto a toy and starts playing with it.
05:31Just then, a coin falls into the pool.
05:33Thinking it's his dad, Elliot resurfaces, but no one is there.
05:37Curious, he puts on his swimming goggles and dives in.
05:41Suddenly, another coin drops into the water, then another, and another.
05:45At that moment, he hears a child's voice saying hello, and he spots a girl near the pool.
05:49He resurfaces, but no one is there.
05:51Assuming it's his sister, Izzy, he says.
05:54I know that's you and dives back into the water.
05:57As he comes up, a loud thud sounds from above the starting block.
06:01We then see someone standing on it and child humming.
06:04But as he jumps to check, he finds no one there.
06:07Then, the girl's voice returns.
06:09Hello? Can you hear me? I need help.
06:12I'm looking for my mom, Elliot asks.
06:14Who are you? The voice responds.
06:16My name is Rebecca Summers. I found your toy.
06:19Elliot puts his hand in the skimmers to get his toy, and notices strands of hair tangled.
06:25Suddenly, someone grabs his hand.
06:27Panicking, he yanks it free and swims back, just in time to see a figure sinking deeper into the skimmer.
06:33Terrified, he rushes to his mom, who immediately runs outside to check the pool.
06:37She asks if he's sure.
06:39Elliot insists, telling her that the girl said her name was Rebecca, and that she was looking for her mother.
06:44Eve pulls Elliot's toy from the pool, and the scene cuts to her recounting the incident to Ray Ray dismisses it.
06:51Suggesting that since Elliot hasn't made any real friends here yet, he might be imagining things.
06:57Anyway, I'm going to his practice later today, Ray says.
07:00Maybe that will help him break the ice with other kids.
07:03He suggests Eve join him, and she agrees.
07:05Also proposing a housewarming pool party.
07:08Ray likes the idea.
07:09Izzy excitedly asks if she can invite her friends, and Ray agrees.
07:14The scene then shifts to Elliot's baseball practice.
07:17He looks nervous, but Eve reassures him.
07:19You'll do fine.
07:20Don't be scared.
07:21The coach then introduces Ray as a former Brewer's third baseman, and he begins training the kids.
07:26After practice, the coach invites Ray to play.
07:29Hesitant, he agrees.
07:31He misses the first throw, then the second, and even falls.
07:35Determined, he gets up and asks for another chance.
07:38Just then, something stirs in the pool.
07:40Ray swings, and this time, he smashes the ball so hard it hits the stadium lights.
07:45The crowd erupts in cheers, and the kids are in awe.
07:49Later, Eve sees Ray relaxing in the pool from the window.
07:52The scene cuts to her, reminding the kids to be in bed by 10, while she and Ray go out for dinner.
07:58As they leave, Izzy tells Elliot that her friend Ronan from the swim team is coming over.
08:03She warns him not to tell their mom, threatening to put a Tide Pod in his fish tank if he does.
08:08Then we see Ronan and Izzy having fun playing Marco Polo in the pool,
08:12which is a game where one player, with eyes closed, tries to tag others by calling Marco,
08:17and the others respond with Polo, using sound to locate each other.
08:21After a while, Ronan sneaks out as a prank, leaving Izzy alone with her eyes closed.
08:26Suddenly, the music stops.
08:28She moves forward, and a figure is seen in the pool whispering Polo.
08:32She moves toward the voice, but as she reaches for it, it vanishes.
08:36She then feels something odd in the pool, and dives underwater.
08:39As she surfaces, a figure behind her whispers Polo.
08:43Thinking it's Ronan, she follows someone deeper into the pool.
08:46Suddenly, she feels stuck, bubbles rise, and a ghostly figure emerges and grabs her leg, trying to drag her down.
08:54Panicked, she struggles free and escapes the pool, shaken.
08:58She tells Ronan, something was down there.
09:00Someone grabbed me.
09:01Were you in the pool?
09:03Ronan insists he wasn't, suggesting her foot got caught in the pool cleaner.
09:07Hesitant, Izzy nods, maybe.
09:09Just then, Elliot calls out that their parents are home.
09:12Before going, he kisses her and says,
09:15See you Saturday at the pool party.
09:17The next day, Elliot knocks on Izzy's door.
09:20He says,
09:21I know something scared you last night.
09:23I saw how you got out of the water.
09:25He threatens to tell their parents about Ronan's visit.
09:27Izzy opens the door, insisting her leg just got caught in the pool cleaner.
09:31She says,
09:32Things are better since we moved here.
09:34Dad is healthier.
09:35Mom is happy.
09:36Do you really want to freak them out?
09:38What makes more sense?
09:39That the pool is helping us, or that it's haunted?
09:42Elliot says,
09:43What if it's both?
09:44Just then, their mom enters the house and Izzy warns him to stay quiet.
09:48The scene shifts to the pool party.
09:50The coach's family arrives and their son, Ty, asks for Ray.
09:54Then Kay, the agent, shows up as the guests enjoy the party.
09:58Meanwhile, Elliot sets up a camcorder in his room to record the pool.
10:02In the kitchen, Eve, Kay, and friends chat.
10:05Suddenly, a boy's scream startles Eve, but it's just the kids having fun.
10:09Ray searches for Elliot when Coach's son, Ty, hands him a baseball, saying it took him an hour to find it last night.
10:15He signs it for him and stops him asking to play in the pool together.
10:19He lifts Ty onto his back and starts playing with other team in the pool.
10:23Meanwhile, Eve tells Kay that while they were fixing up the pool, the guy mentioned it probably hadn't been used in about 15 years.
10:30Isn't that weird? Kay replies, maybe they just weren't pool people.
10:34But later, she reveals it's possible that the previous owners avoided the pool because of certain alleged events.
10:41She continues, there were stories about a little girl who drowned here.
10:45She was a student at the school where you are an administrator.
10:48Just a tragedy, of course. Sometimes people get superstitious.
10:52Eve asks, was her name Rebecca? Kay surprised asks, how did you know?
10:56Meanwhile, Ray is playing in the pool when he suddenly starts feeling strange.
11:01Slowly, he begins sinking deeper into the water.
11:04Ty calls out for him to stop, but suddenly, a black liquid seeps out from the pool drain and flows into Ray's mouth.
11:11It seems as though the demon has taken control of his body.
11:14Ray grabs Ty tightly and tries to drown him.
11:17Ty struggles, pleading for Ray to let go.
11:20Just then, Elliot notices the scene through the camera and rushes to his mother, screaming.
11:25She immediately runs outside.
11:27At that moment, Ty's dad jumps into the pool, manages to pull him out, and notices red marks on his legs.
11:33Elliot shouts, Dad is still in the pool.
11:36As soon as they pull him out, Eve presses on his chest, and suddenly, he gasps for air, regaining consciousness.
11:42The scene then cuts to Eve yelling at Ray to leave the house.
11:46She exclaims, there's something wrong with that pool.
11:49Ray, however, dismisses her concerns.
11:51There's nothing wrong with it.
11:53The pool is fine.
11:54It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
11:57Eve glares at him.
11:58What are you talking about?
11:59You almost drowned today.
12:01Ty almost drowned.
12:02We then see them all leaving the house when suddenly, Ray starts coughing violently.
12:07Eve immediately stops the car.
12:09Out of nowhere, Ray begins choking.
12:12And the next moment, we see him lying in bed.
12:15Eve is on the phone, urgently describing his condition to a doctor.
12:18She says it felt like something was attacking him from the inside.
12:22She then goes inside to Ray, and he starts pleading with her.
12:25Let me go one more time to the pool.
12:27It feels so cool in the deep water.
12:29Determined to put an end to this, Eve makes a decision.
12:32She sets up the motor and begins draining all the water from the pool.
12:36The next day, Eve searches for Rebecca Summers in the student database.
12:40She then tells Kay, it wasn't just Rebecca.
12:43There were more people who lived in that house and went missing.
12:46I need the whole truth.
12:48At least give me the Summers family's address.
12:50We then see Eve arriving at the Summers house.
12:53An elderly woman, Lucy, opens the door.
12:56Eve introduces herself and explains that her family now lives in Lucy's old house,
13:00the one with the pool.
13:01Lucy welcomes her in and proudly tells her about her son and his achievements.
13:06Eve listens before gently asking, did you have a daughter as well?
13:10Lucy replies, no.
13:11Eve then says, I'm not here to upset you, but I feel helpless.
13:15My husband was sick, and when we moved into that house, he started getting better.
13:20I think the pool made him better.
13:21But my kids have seen things, so have I.
13:24There's something bad in the water, isn't there?
13:26Lucy suddenly starts coughing.
13:28Eve asks, what happened to your daughter?
13:30Still coughing, Lucy fills a glass of water, which overflows.
13:34She finally speaks, have you ever tossed a coin into a wishing well and pray?
13:38Some water is magic.
13:40She continues, before the house and pool, there was a spring.
13:43It grants desires, but demands a life in return.
13:47Someone has to pay so the water can keep giving, the way it gave to me.
13:51Tommy was so sick, and look at him now.
13:54Eve asks, but what happened to Rebecca?
13:56A flashback unfolds.
13:57Tommy wakes to Rebecca's screams.
13:59He rushes to his mother's door, but Lucy locks it.
14:02From the window, she watches Rebecca drown.
14:05In the present, Lucy says, the water used me as a vessel to do what had to be done.
14:10But don't worry about your husband.
14:12He's the one who gets the wish.
14:14He gets his health.
14:15I got my son back.
14:16Love requires sacrifice.
14:18Eve replies, that's not love.
14:20If you get something back, it's not a sacrifice.
14:23Rebecca is still looking for you.
14:25You can help us.
14:26There has to be a way to stop this.
14:28Lucy suddenly retches.
14:30Her canula fills with black liquid.
14:32She turns to Eve, smiling eerily.
14:34It will be over soon.
14:36The water will sleep again, and someone else will find the house.
14:39The fountain beside starts overflowing.
14:41Eve quickly grabs her bag and bolts.
14:43On the way home, Eve checks her phone, only to realize it's completely soaked and no longer working.
14:49Meanwhile, at home, black water starts gushing out of the pool drain, and Ray begins retching.
14:55Slowly, black veins appear on his body, and demon takes over him.
14:59Later, Izzy and Elliot arrive home, calling out for their parents.
15:03When they get no response, Izzy goes to check the garage.
15:06Just then, Elliot notices ripples forming in his glass of water.
15:10At the same time, he hears the sound of cider.
15:13He places the glass on the table and steps outside to look for the cat.
15:17As soon as he leaves, the glass begins to slide on its own.
15:21As Elliot searches for cider, he hears the cat meowing and sees his shadow on a floaty in the pool.
15:26Cautiously, Elliot moves forward on the starting block.
15:29Suddenly, the pool cover's lever starts rolling on its own.
15:33As he reaches for the floaty, he realizes that cider isn't actually there.
15:37Instead, a ghost manifests, inflating the floatie, and Elliot loses his balance, falling into the pool.
15:44The pool cover starts closing on its own.
15:47Just as Izzy steps outside, the glass falls from the table.
15:50She immediately tries to turn the lever back, but it pushes her away.
15:54At that moment, Eve arrives, and both of them struggle to turn the lever.
15:58Eve kicks it and tells Izzy to call for help before diving into the pool.
16:02As Izzy runs inside, she slips on the broken glass.
16:05Meanwhile, underwater, Eve notices a black hole at the bottom of the pool.
16:10She resurfaces, ties a long pipe to a rod, grabs a flashlight, and dives again.
16:15Izzy, in pain, pulls a glass shard from her hand.
16:18Just then, she hears a strange noise.
16:21As she moves toward it, she suddenly sees Ray standing behind her.
16:25He says, I've been looking for you, stepping forward.
16:28Izzy notices water on the floor, and Ray vanishes.
16:31Terrified, she yells, I'm calling for help!
16:33But suddenly, Ray reappears and strikes her hard.
16:36Izzy tries to run, but Ray grabs her by the hair and drags her.
16:40She pushes back, breaking free as strands of her hair remain in his grip.
16:44As she escapes, Ray whispers, Marco.
16:47Meanwhile, Eve swims deeper into the water, but the pipe gets stuck.
16:51She removes it and moves further, spotting Elliot.
16:54She reaches him, grabs hold of him, and begins swimming upward.
16:57Suddenly, multiple ghosts appear, trying to stop her.
17:00She loses her flashlight as the spirits continue haunting her.
17:04Izzy, meanwhile, screams for help and hides in the garage.
17:08Suddenly, the TV turns on, startling her.
17:11It shuts off, and Ray appears before her.
17:13She screams and runs.
17:15Eve struggles to find a way out of the pool.
17:18Just then, she sees Rebecca nearby.
17:20Rebecca extends her hand, revealing a smiley marked coin.
17:24It floats, guiding Eve to an exit.
17:26She follows it and resurfaces.
17:28Ray tells Izzy, why don't you stay?
17:30It'll be over soon, and leaves.
17:32She grabs his baseball bat.
17:34Outside, Eve tries to wake Elliot when Ray suddenly appears behind her.
17:38He says, love requires sacrifices.
17:41Eve pleads, we need to get Elliot to a hospital.
17:44Ray suddenly grabs Eve by the throat, saying, the water chose Elliot.
17:48Just then, Izzy strikes his legs with the bat.
17:51Hitting repeatedly and flashes of old memories flood Ray's mind.
17:55Elliot's voice echoes, Dad, something has you.
17:58You have to fight it.
17:59Eve desperately pleads with him to come back.
18:02Ray chokes, vomits black liquid as he regains his senses.
18:06Just then, Elliot starts coughing.
18:08Black water starts seeping out of the pool drain again, and Ray notices it.
18:12Suddenly, Elliot starts choking, black veins appearing on his skin.
18:16Ray, realizing what must be done, mutters, someone has to pay.
18:20He turns around, steps into the water, and says, don't look back.
18:24Then, he disappears into the depths as the pool consumes him.
18:28Elliot vomits out the black liquid and breathes normally again.
18:31He asks, where's Dad?
18:33And the house falls into eerie silence.
18:35A few days later, Eve hands Elliot the smiley coin and says,
18:39we can still sell this house and move anywhere.
18:42Elliot replies, but then it's just going to happen to someone else.
18:45Izzy adds, Dad wouldn't want that.
18:47In the final scene, they watch as workers seal off the pool,
18:51filling it with soil, and the movie ends.
