Psychological horror is hinted at in the new Night Swim clip, which was made by James Wan and Jason Blum.
Don't run. Don't jump. No lifeguard was working. You can't swim after dark. In the new trailer for the upcoming horror film Night Swim, Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon are scared by a ghostly presence in their backyard swimming pool. The makers of M3GAN, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, are behind the new supernatural thriller Night Swim, which will hit screens in January 2024. The movie is a high-dive into the deep end of horror.
A detailed summary of Night Swim has been posted along with the trailer:

He moves into a new home with his worried wife Eve (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, this fall's The Hunger Games:
Ray convinces Eve that the sparkling pool in the back yard of their new home will be fun for the kids and good physical therapy for him. Ray is secretly hoping, against all odds, to get back into professional baseball. But a dark secret from the house's past will set off a bad force that will pull the family down into a bottomless pit of fear.

In the new MonsterVerse Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which starts next month, Wyatt Russell will face off with the famous monster Godzilla. He has already been fighting ghosts in his pool. After the epic battle between Godzilla and the MUTOs that destroyed San Francisco and the shocking discovery that monsters are real, two siblings follow in their father's ways and try to find out how their family is connected to the secretive organization called Monarch. Wyatt Russell's real-life father, Kurt Russell, will also be in the show, but they won't share the screen. Instead, they will both play the same character, Army officer Lee Shaw, whose life will be shown from the past to the present.
Universal Pictures plans to put out Night Swim in the United States on January 5, 2024.
