Infinity Pool

On a secluded island resort, James and Em think they've found the perfect getaway, with sun, service, and flawless scenery. Their vacation takes a darker turn after they meet Gabi, who lures them beyond the resort into a society obsessed with danger, decadence, and violence. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a nightmare when a mishap drags them into a brutal two tier system where crime is punished harshly and the wealthy can choose a perverse form of spectacle. The couple must make their way through a world where appearances mask a chilling moral calculus and survival hinges on risky choices. The mood stays tense as strange stakes mount and the line between pleasure and peril blurs for viewers.

Directed by Brandon Cronenberg, Infinity Pool is an original psychological thriller set on a remote island, featuring Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth. The film arrived in 2023 with a budget of about 4.5 million aimed at delivering boundary pushing horror.

Critics were divided but many hailed its cold tone and blunt look at luxury, privilege, and the moral cost of excess. The film probes how wealth reshapes accountability and who gets to decide whose life is expendable, all wrapped in a clinical, unnerving style that lingers after the credits tonight.

Infinity Pool grossed 5,078,400 worldwide on a budget of 4,500,000, making it a modest hit for a small scale genre release that found audiences through selective festival runs and targeted limited screenings in select markets abroad initially outside major cities.

Its provocative imagery and discussions about who gets to enjoy comfort while others pay with their lives gave audiences something to unpack beyond the jump scares, influencing conversations about consent and the ethics of spectatorship in modern horror. Cinephiles cited its execution and the way it toys with viewer complicity.
