Featured reviews
This is a great film to get lost in, and experience the story and it's main character, Skarsgard. I do love original films, and early in the piece, it was so cool, not knowing where the film was going, but later on, in the last 40 minutes, we have moments of predicability. I found this a fun shock movie, where we have some scenes. Which are truly memorably bizarre, the final one, a scene of normality, staying in my mind the most. This is one of these films, that lingers in the memory, days after you see it. It has strobing. 180 degree turn shots, a daunting music score, cloning, and sexy Mia Goth, really playing her part to the hilt. One X rated sex shot we could of done without. Brandon Cronenberg (David's) has definitely created something originally appealing and engrossing, but it gets too ludiicrous and crazy in it's second half. Some of the bloodletting scenes, are pretty heavy. Definitely recommended, but be warned.
A holiday with your girl takes quite a turn, you only came for a short stay, a brief sojourn, but when returning from the beach, an accident, leads to a breach, and the next day you're arrested, and interned. As you have wealth, you can settle and walk free, an odd procedure and some strange hyperbole, but a boundary's been stepped over, no longer fixed in an enclosure, plus there's a catalyst, to incite, who's full of glee.
Mia Goth, as the seductive Gabi Bauer, alongside her hedonistic friends, introduce the somewhat innocent James Foster, more than ably performed by Alexander Skarsgård, to their limitless world of excess, a world that doesn't quite reward him quite as well as it does his newly found playmates.
Great performances, kaleidoscopic cinematography, original in its interpretation, worth a watch, but you may well wish you hadn't, a bit like James.

After Antiviral and The Possessor, Infinity Pool continues Brandon Cronenberg's path to being a film maker to watch. His films are unique and he will supersede his dad nicely once his legendary career comes to an end.
The casting is great with Mia Goth & Alexander Skarsgard continuing their trend of picking projects that are more exciting than the typical hollywood fair. Both are superb here and are the perfect pair with Goth on manic form, almost on Pearl levels of insanity at times.
The movie has unique ideas and surprises that don't go the conventional ways you'd expect. The film is gorgeous to look at despite being horrific in nature and the ending is well done. The normality of it all is chilling and gets under your skin after what's taken place the previous two hours.
Highly recommend.

That was a waste of time. I'm a fan of horror movies and watched this one based on the reviews and "10 best lists". Boy, that was a mistake. The movie started out with a good premise and went absolutely no where. What was the point of all that? It could have been something interesting and intriguing with moral questions and issues to discuss. Instead, the film was full of a bunch of what ifs, obnoxious performances, and gratuitous scenes that serve no purpose. I kept checking role time to see how more pretentious drivel I had to sit through. Good ide, awful execution. Things one to skip and let die.
I saw "Infinity Pool" last night in the theatre. It is a very strange movie directed by Brandon Cronenberg, the son of David Cronenberg ("Videodrome", "The Fly", etc.) It is about a couple (Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman) who travel to a luxury resort in a repressive dictatorship. They meet another couple (Jalil Lespert and Mia Goth) who convince them to travel off the grounds of the resort, even though it is prohibited by the rules of the resort and country. Soon a tragedy occurs, and the couple is thrust into a fever dream of drugs, sex and violence. Mia Goth is excellent as the temptress who pushes Skarsgård's character into doing things he would never think of doing. Skarsgård is wasted in this role and his character takes actions that defy common sense. And while some have praised Brandon Cronenberg's direction - I found some of the strange angles and quirks he uses to be more annoying than ingenious. There is a surfeit of sex, violence and gore for those who enjoy that, but I cannot say that it really added anything to a convoluted plot that really makes no sense. Only recommended for Mia Goth's standout performance - wait for cable or Netflix on this one. 5/10.

- TriviaIn a 2023 interview with Fangoria, Brandon Cronenberg spoke about how a real-life vacation experience inspired the film: "The film started as a short story just about the first execution, and as I was expanding it into a feature, I kept going back to a vacation I went on about 20 years ago to an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. It was surreal, because they would bus you in in the middle of the night, so you couldn't see any of the country. They would just drop you in this resort compound, which was in fact surrounded by a razor-wire fence. You couldn't leave, much like in the film, and there was a kind of fake town where you could go shopping. The Chinese restaurant and the horrible discotheque in the movie are both based on that actual resort; the scene with the man on the ATV on the beach being chased by guards actually happened. And then, at the end of the week, they bused you back during the day, and you could see the actual immediate surrounding country, which was very poverty-stricken. There were people living in shacks. That contrast was obviously horrible, but also surreal, because you realized you had never actually entered the country; you were just dropped into this strange pocket of a sort of alternate dimension that had just grown up to become this tacky Disneyland mirror image of reality."
- GoofsIn the last bus scene, James' hands are clearly in view and uninjured when the right one should be cut, bruised, or at least bandaged.
- Alternate versionsThere were two, slightly different versions released, an R-rated cut for the U.S. market, and an Unrated (previously, NC-17) one for the rest of the world and the home video market on Blu-Ray. Time differences are negligible; the differences are, as usual in cases such as these, that the Unrated cut contains slightly more violence and nudity.
