12 Feet Deep (2017)

🎬
💧 Psychological Thriller | 🧠 Claustrophobic Suspense | Based on True Events


🎥 Overview:


12 Feet Deep is a tense, minimalist survival thriller that grips you with one chilling question: What if you were trapped beneath a pool cover with no way out? Inspired by real events, the film centers on two sisters—Jonna (Alexandra Park) and Bree (Nora-Jane Noone)—who become trapped under a fiberglass pool cover in a public swimming facility just as it closes for a holiday weekend.

What begins as a seemingly simple mishap spirals into a harrowing fight for survival. With dwindling oxygen, rising panic, dark family secrets resurfacing, and an unstable janitor who discovers them, the film escalates into an emotional and psychological battleground.
