Is There a Post-Credits Scene in Night Swim?
Discover if Blumhouse's latest release, Night Swim, surprises audiences with a thrilling post-credits scene Dive into the suspense and find out if Night Swim 2 is on the horizon
Does Blumhouse Productions' latest horror movie, Night Swim, include any post-credits scenes? This question is valid, as Blumhouse's previous film, Five Nights at Freddy's, featured two post-credits scenes.
The fragment content is teasing the introduction of the iconic Five Nights at Freddy's character, Balloon Boy, followed by an eerie stretch with a disembodied voice spelling out the phrase "Come find me." This type of content, also present in another recent Blumhouse film, Insidious: The Red Door, may make you anticipate a Night Swim post-credits scene. But does it actually have one? Warning: Major spoilers ahead!
Does Night Swim have a post-credits scene?
No, Night Swim doesn’t have a mid-credits or post-credits scene.
Once the eerie story of the haunted swimming pool comes to an end, it seems final. When Eve Waller, her kids Izzy and Elliot, fill in the possessed pool, it makes sense to wonder if there's any story left to tell. However, in the lead-up to the finale, we witness the malevolent presence extending beyond the Wallers' backyard, raising the possibility that the evil was not just defeated by filling the pool with dirt.
Is Night Swim 2 happening?
However, if additional Night Swim narrative is in development, McGuire, Blumhouse, and Atomic Monster evidently determined that a post-credits scene was not the ideal method to introduce it.
Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster, and Universal Pictures have not given official approval for Night Swim 2. However, McGuire has already envisioned what a sequel film could entail, even though there was no post-credits scene in Night Swim. The director has plans to expand on the eerie mythology introduced in the first movie.
"If there were a sequel, I have an idea and a wealth of mythology to draw from," he shared. "I intentionally kept the first film simple and archetypal, but there are many more elements that could have been explored and discussed, which I would love to delve into if there is interest." Night Swim is currently showing in theaters. For the most up-to-date TV and movie news and updates, visit Dexerto's comprehensive coverage.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm always on the lookout for horror movies that can give me a good scare. Blumhouse Productions has a reputation for producing some of the best horror films in recent years, so I was excited to hear about their latest release, Night Swim. While the movie itself was suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat, I was disappointed that it didn't have a post-credits scene. I've come to expect post-credits scenes from Blumhouse movies, and I was hoping for a hint of what might come next in the Night Swim universe.
However, I understand that not every movie needs a post-credits scene. Sometimes, it's better to leave the audience wanting more rather than trying to force a sequel. In the case of Night Swim, I think the ending was satisfying enough on its own. It left me with a sense of unease and made me wonder what might happen next, but it didn't feel like it was setting up a sequel. I'm still hopeful that we'll get a Night Swim 2 someday, but I'm also content with the movie as it is.
