THE POOL is that movie, a frightening horror story that begins when 13 hopeful teenagers graduate from high school.

Reunindo um elenco internacional de atores medíocres (dirigidos por um estreante incompetente), o filme tem um roteiro tão absurdo que nem mesmo a heroína acredita quando descobre o motivo por trás dos assassinatos. Imagine, então, o espectador.

A generic international version of a typical American horror film.

Director Boris von Sychowski instead opts for a routine slasher film that was probably more fun to make than it is to sit through.

Literally nothing in The Pool is new, but if you grew up on the stalker flicks of the 1980’s this one should appease you for 90 minutes.

I guess it just goes to show that if you give a filmmaker an unlimited amount of phony blood, nothing good can happen.
