Get your freak on in Brandon Cronenberg's strikingly original scifi satire Infinity Pool, starring AlexanderSkarsgård and MiaGoth.
Infinity Pool Score Details “The 1% is skewered in Brandon Cronenberg's trippy, sex-fueled thriller.” Pros Cons In the opening five minutes of Brandon Cronenberg’s new movie Infinity Pool, you think you know what you’re getting. A gorgeous couple wake up in their oversized bed and then venture outside to eat gourmet food at a fancy resort. As the couple finishes and walk back to their high-priced hotel, the camera begins to move upward and slowly spin around.
Related The adventurous Gabi and Alban invite the reluctant Fosters to join them for a boozy picnic beyond the resort’s safe confines. Once outside, the couples drink, eat, and, in the case of Gabi and James, engage in mild flirting that results in a hurried, and hidden, sexual encounter. As night falls, James drives the group back to the resort until an accident occurs, a man winds up dead, and a crime is concealed for fear of being punished in a land with few, if any, rules.
A movie like this needs fearless actors to sell its out-there sci-fi satire, and Infinity Pool doesn’t disappoint. Skarsgård, last seen covered in blood and viscera in The Northman, and Goth, who emerged as a star in 2022 with the horror movies X and Pearl, are certified freaks, and they are more than up to the task of embodying the more outrageous aspects of the film’s story.
Come for the sci-fi satire, stay for the trippy orgy It’s director Cronenberg, however, who emerges as the real star of Infinity Pool. In his past two works, the paranoid thriller Antiviral and the body-swap mindfuck movie Possessor, Cronenberg has showed a promise that was stifled by a fidelity to other directors, the most obvious being his own father’s body of horror movies.
