Movie Review

 

Infinity Pool, a science fiction horror movie starring Alexander Skarsgard, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman, was written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg. The movie centers on a struggling writer and his wife who are on vacation when they have an accident and learn about the dark culture of the nation.

 

Author James Foster and his wife Em vacation in a resort in Li Tolqa, a made-up seashore nation, where a local festival is in progress. The couple's ongoing marital conflict intensifies when Gabi, a supporter of the one book James has written to date, extends an invitation to them to hang out with her and her husband Alban. Despite being told that visitors must always stay on the resort property, the four decide to eat dinner and spend the following day driving across the countryside.

 

James is peeing behind a tree at a beach when Gabi suddenly grabs him from behind and starts giving him a hand job. The vacationers drive intoxicated back to their hotel after a long day of cooking and tanning. Jimmy accidentally kills a local man while traveling. Since the country is corrupt and they won't be safe, Gabi is adamant that they shouldn't call the police.

James is taken into custody the following day and informed that the deceased man's firstborn son will execute him as payment for his crime. But the nation has a special justice system that allows the guilty to be cloned and have their copies slain in their stead for a large charge. James pays the cash to have a double killed in front of him because he married into wealth. James is titillated by the spectacle and wants to stay while Em is appalled by the entire situation and wants to leave right away. He conceals his passport, saying to have misplaced it, and urges Em to go back to the US.

 

James stays an extra week and runs into Gabi and Alban once more. They present him to a small group of Western visitors, all of whom have recent criminal records and paid to watch the deaths of their doubles. These folks visit the resort every year, do horrible deeds, then pay to watch their counterparts get murdered. They encourage James to become a libertine criminal over the course of the following few days, inciting him to murder locals, partake in drunken revelries, and assault the resort employees.

 

One evening, James is shaken when he is persuaded to brutalize a copy of himself whom he had been led to believe was the police investigator who had first detained him. James discovers his secret passport in a fit of terror, but the tourist group accosts him and kidnaps him off the bus that would take him to the airport. He is being mistreated by the group in an effort to make him into a fellow murder tourist, according to Gabi, who believes him to be pitiful. He takes off running into the adjacent forest. When he runs away, Gabi shoots him in the leg.

James has been lost for hours when he finally collapses at a farm, where a local family takes him in to recover. He goes through a number of hallucinations when under the influence of drugs. Once he has recovered his strength, Gabi's crew confronts him once more and demands that he kill a replica of himself in order to complete his transformation. When the clone tries to kill him, he first refuses, but James beats him to death. Gabi gives James a reward by showing him her bare breast and invites him to nurse.

 

The following day, when they return to the US, the other visitors talk informally about impending errands, but James is clearly upset by what has happened over the past several days. He makes the decision to stay behind while he waits for his flight at the airport. He goes back to the abandoned resort and sits by himself in the monsoon rain.
