Mark Korven Scores Universal’s NIGHT SWIM – In Theaters January 5

Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the producers of M3GAN, high dive into the deep end of horror with the new supernatural thriller, NIGHT SWIM. Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER) as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN), teenage daughter Izzy (AMÉLIE HOEFERLE, this fall’s THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD).

Composer Mark Korven is a Toronto based composer for film and television. He is best known for his work on the 2015 period Horror film THE WITCH, which won the best director award at Sundance for director Robert Eggers. He also scored Egger’s follow up THE LIGHTHOUSE starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson which won the Critics Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and has composed for films such as RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY (2021), THE BLACK PHONE (2021) and NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE (2021), and episodic television such as Ridley Scott’s THE TERROR: INFAMY,  THEM,  CHAPELWAITE, and the #1 Amazon science fiction series THE PERIPHERAL.

Summary: Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.

NIGHT SWIM is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) and is produced by James Wan, the filmmaker behind the SAW, INSIDIOUS and THE CONJURING franchises, and Jason Blum, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and THE INVISIBLE MAN. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wan’s ATOMIC MONSTER and by Ryan Turek for Blum’s Blumhouse.
