Johnny Taylor has a big problem: he LOVES to drown good-looking girls. When he sees water and attractive females together, something in his head begs him to kill - the psychological result of a traumatic near-drowning during his childhood at the hands of a twisted babysitter. Fighting the urge to act on his sinister thoughts most of his adult life, Johnny finally succumbs to his dark instincts when the only work he can find is around water, cleaning pools. Filled with colorful characters, beautiful women and set against the backdrop of the LA party scene, Death Pool encapsulates the desire for fame, the lust for desire, and the urge to kill.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jared Cohn is a prolific Asylum alum; this was his attempt at 'elevated' exploitation. It did not elevate.
The film's 4.6 rating is almost generous—TMDB voters clearly appreciate committed camp over competence.
