* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on in the film, the Wallers learn that there were many natural springs in the area, before the neighborhood was built over them. [[spoiler: The pool's supernatural properties come from the fact that it was built over one of these springs.]]
** One of the diving exercises Ray does with his kids is tossing coins into the pool and having them swim to get them. The image calls to mind wishing wells, where people toss coins in to have a wish granted. [[spoiler: The pool is revealed to be a more sinister take on the concept.]]

* EvilIsPetty: Possibly the only reason the pool murders the cat. There is no way the cat is somehow an adequate sacrifice when it's been taking humans as tributes instead.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: The pool ghosts take out the family cat, for no reason other than ForTheEvulz, as it seems far more interested in human lives for the sacrifices than animal lives. Poor thing.]]

Ray Waller is a baseball player who was forced to retire due to an illness. While Ray and his family (consisting of wife Eve, daughter Izzy, and son Elliot) are house-hunting, they come across a house that has a pool in the backyard. As they settle in, mysterious and strange happenings start to occur, and it soon becomes clear that there is something in the pool…

!! This film provides examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Eve, Izzy, and Elliot are able to survive the pool; however, this comes at the cost of Ray sacrificing himself to it. Fortunately, the Wallers make sure that no one ever falls victim to the pool anymore by staying at the house and covering it up.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Ray, who walks into the pool to make sure that his family isn't killed by it.]]
* NightSwimEqualsDeath: Clearly. However, while many scenes (including the climax) do happen at night, some horrors also happen in the daytime.
* RuleOfPool: Multiple. Besides the casual dives, the pool also drags people into it.
