But Blum and Wan didn't stop there. Their next horror project is already on the way, and it looks like a creepy good time.&nbsp;RELATED: Remembering James Wan's Creepy Doll Movie&nbsp;Dead SilenceBased on a short film of the same co-created by Bryce McGuire, who wrote and directed the feature film version,&nbsp;Night Swim&nbsp;has a fairly simple setup. A family heads out to buy a new house, and discovers an affordable fixer-upper with a bonus swimming pool in the backyard. The father of the family, Ray (Wyatt Russell), convinces his wife Eve (Kerry Condon, fresh off the triumph of&nbsp;The Banshees of Inisherin) that it's the right house for them, in part because he can use the pool for physical therapy in hopes of reviving his baseball career. It seems like a win-win, right?Well, while the first part of the trailer sets up that premise, the second part focuses entirely on what's going on beneath the waters of that pool. As Ray and Eve's daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle) plays a nighttime game of Marco Polo in the pool with a friend, it becomes clear that something's down there with her, something just waiting for the right moment to make its presence known.&nbsp;Check out the trailer below, and brace for the scares.That's a hell of a way to end a game of Marco Polo, right? We can't wait to find out more about the overall story and mythology of what's going on here, but devoting a huge chunk of your first trailer to setting up a jump scare is a nice way to kick things off.&nbsp;The creepy premise is enough to get a lot of horror fans in the door, but it's not the only draw. There's also the presence of Blum and Wan as producers on the film, continuing a partnership that goes back years. The pair worked together more than a decade ago on the&nbsp;Insidious&nbsp;franchise, and as they both found success, both built their own horror empires, Blum with Blumhouse and Wan with Atomic Monster. Now they're back together, delivering not just&nbsp;M3GAN&nbsp;and&nbsp;Night Swim, but other collaborative horror projects like an upcoming&nbsp;Dead by Daylight&nbsp;adaptation. For horror fans, it's a very exciting team-up, and we can't wait to see the next fruits of their labors.Night Swim&nbsp;is coming soon from Universal Pictures.Read more about:Sponsored Stories
