12 Feet Deep (2017) is a psychological thriller that follows two sisters, Bree and Jonna, who find themselves trapped at the bottom of a public swimming pool. During their visit to a recreational facility, the pool is accidentally closed, leaving them locked in a submerged cage-like structure for hours.
As the night falls, the pool’s filtration system malfunctions, and the water level rises, adding an extra layer of danger. With no way to escape, the sisters must fight not only the rising water but also their inner fears and the growing tension between them. Bree, the younger sister, is desperate and panicked, while Jonna tries to keep calm and think strategically to survive.
As the sisters struggle to survive in this dire situation, they must confront their personal issues, past traumas, and strained relationship. Their desperation and emotional struggles are tested as the situation becomes more dire. The film emphasizes themes of survival, human resilience, and the complex dynamics of sibling relationships under extreme pressure.
As the hours drag on, their only hope lies in their ability to work together, overcome their differences, and stay alive long enough for help to arrive. 12 Feet Deep explores the intensity of human emotions in life-threatening circumstances and challenges the characters’ mental and physical endurance.
The film’s claustrophobic setting and limited cast create a tense, immersive atmosphere, drawing viewers into the sisters’ fight for survival as they are forced to confront not just their environment, but also their deepest fears.
