The Girl in the Pool

 

The title for this ‘mystery thriller’ really does say it all, for the story, for the execution of said story and sets up expectations accurately. Running at just under 90 minutes, you can feel the anxiety but the thrills are unfortunately non-existent.

Hours before a birthday party is to take place at his home, Thomas (Freddie Prinze Jr.) enjoys a supposed secret rendezvous with his mistress, Hannah. But leaving Hannah alone in his pool Thomas returns to find she her covered in blood and no longer breathing. Panicked, Thomas hides the body, cleans the scene and is forced to endure the party his wife Kristen has planned for him, all the while trying to figure out what happened and conceal the body that is now leaking blood from its’ hiding place.
