This is literally a carbon copy of Amytiville Horror (and basically every "there's a story behind the house you moved into" movie ever made) but pool adjacent.

That's it. Just imagine if Amytiville Horror was about a pool instead of a house. Hot blonde dad, panicked mom, two kids who have seen things but keep doubling down anyway. They might as well make a different version for different elements of homes. Maybe The Home Theater about a demon who haunts a home theater projector but the dirty-blonde husband is a washed up film director and the projector is the only thing feeding his movie ideas. Anyway, I digress.

It's textbook and nothing more. But if you're bored, it's free on Peacock so...

I tried. I really tried. I kept hanging in there waiting for something redeeming but nope. Love all the actors in the movie, genuinely perplexed as to why any of them chose to participate in this disaster. Maybe they didn't red the script? Maybe there were last minute script changes and they were forced to do reshoots at gun point. Either way, I'll never get that time back...

Megan Fox and Bruce Willis did what they could (which at this point is pretty mediocre at best), but Emille Hirsch was at an all time low. I really remember him being quite talented, and to be fair the writing here didn't give these poor actors much to work with, but oof. The acting is actually painful to watch. I don't understand how anyone watched this completed project, sat back and said, "that'll do." It's just a mess. It's almost like a snl skit about a truck-driver-serial-killer-movie if that makes sense. Hard pass.
