Night Swim (2024) – By Creepy Crazy Cathy (3C)

I was asked to review this film by the owner of The Horror Times, and I didn’t know why until I saw the film. You see, the father in the movie has multiple sclerosis (MS) as do I, hence I could relate to it from that point of view. Well, it’s not about MS it’s…
