Are you a horror movie fan looking for your next scare? Well, good news! A new, spine-chilling film has just been added to Netflix, and it's sure to leave you trembling. Infinity Pool, a deviously twisted flick with an all-star cast, premiered in January of 2023. Starring Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman, this scare-fest is not one to miss.
Written and directed by the talented Brandon Cronenberg, Infinity Pool follows the story of novelist James Foster and his partner Em as they embark on a holiday to an idyllic resort. But their vacation takes a dark turn when they meet Gabi, a fan of James' book, who invites them to dinner. Things quickly become unnerving when James accidentally kills someone and discovers the disturbing truth about how tourists are punished for their crimes. As tensions rise, the question remains: will anyone make it out of this trip alive?
For those who missed the film's theatrical release, fear not, as Infinity Pool is now available to stream on Netflix. But be warned, you may need a pillow to hide behind during some of the more intense scenes.
Upon its initial release, Infinity Pool was an instant hit with fans and critics alike. With a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 87%, it's safe to say that this film is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. Empire's Sophie Butcher praised the film, calling it "a slick, satirical, insane thrill-ride." And Todd Jorgenson of Cinemalogue agreed, stating that the film "balances quirks and frights while finding its offbeat rhythm amid a beautiful but haunting exotic backdrop that conceals some disturbing secrets."
But not everyone was a fan. While the critics loved it, the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes sits at a mere 52%. Some critics even went as far as to call the film "blood-churning." But that didn't stop it from becoming a cult classic and now, with its addition to Netflix, even more viewers can experience the twisted world of Infinity Pool.
Brandon Cronenberg, son of renowned filmmaker David Cronenberg, shared the inspiration behind the film in an interview with Den of Geek. He explained that the idea came from a short story he wrote, centered around the concept of doubling and execution. And as he expanded on the story, he drew from personal experiences that helped shape the eerie setting of the film.
So if you're in the mood for a chilling and thought-provoking horror flick, look no further than Infinity Pool, now streaming on Netflix. Don't miss your chance to join the many viewers who have been captivated by this blood-curdling tale. And who knows, you may even find yourself closing your eyes during some of the more intense scenes, just like Vogue's Taylor Antrim did.
