About This Movie

So, Neal is this quirky blend of comedy and horror that really dives into the absurd. The premise—a murderous swimming pool cleaning machine—sounds ridiculous, but it manages to balance dark humor with a bizarrely suspenseful tone. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but this almost adds to its charm, giving you moments of genuine tension followed by unexpected laughs. Practical effects are a highlight, as they give a certain texture to the chaos without relying too heavily on digital tricks. You can tell the filmmakers embraced the low-budget aesthetic, and it kind of works in its favor. Performances are a mixed bag, but there's something endearing about the over-the-top reactions to the carnage. It’s definitely distinctive in how it handles a silly concept with a straight face.
