12 Feet Deep (2017)

12 Feet Deep (2017) is a gripping psychological thriller written and directed by Matt Eskandari. The film explores the harrowing ordeal of two sisters trapped in a pool and the emotional and physical challenges they must overcome to survive.
The story begins with Bree (Nora-Jane Noone) and her estranged sister Jonna (Alexandra Park) visiting a public pool. After the pool closes, an unfortunate series of events leaves the two sisters trapped beneath the facility’s fiberglass enclosure. Their situation worsens when they realize no one will come to help them, and they must rely on their wits and determination to escape. As tensions rise, the sisters face not only physical danger but also buried emotional wounds and unresolved conflicts from their past. To make matters worse, the center’s janitor, Clara (Diane Farr), discovers them but chooses to exploit their situation rather than help them, adding a layer of psychological manipulation to their ordeal.
The film is a tense and claustrophobic thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. With its limited setting and small cast, 12 Feet Deep relies heavily on character-driven tension and emotional stakes. Nora-Jane Noone and Alexandra Park deliver compelling performances, convincingly portraying the evolving relationship between the sisters as they face both external threats and internal struggles.
