The Midnight Swim
Death is not what you think.
Directed by Sarah Adina Smith
Produced by Friend of a Friend Films
A haunting, grief-stricken mystery about three sisters drawn into the unknowable depths of a lake and their mother's disappearance, blending found-footage horror with intimate family trauma.
Spirit Lake is unusually deep. No diver has ever managed to find the bottom. When Dr. Amelia Brooks disappears during a deep-water dive, her three daughters travel home. They find themselves unable to let go and become drawn into the mysteries of the lake.
