Infinity Pool

this is why you never befriend rich people

I don’t know why this movie has so many bad reviews. This was an absolutely crazy movie with a very disturbing undertone that you feel inside of you the entire time your watching it. That movie has a really fun wild ride as the story is progressing, but than it takes a very interesting turn, but that’s not to say the movie is bad. Obviously is has to end eventually. Either way Mia Goth was great in this movie, and Brandon Cronenberg did a great job for someone who’s trying to follow in his fathers footsteps and carry on the torch.

I don't think a movie has made me this uncomfortable since "mother!".

Brandon Cronenberg delivers a sci-fi horror trip that is disturbing and hypnotic. It’s a fever dream of sex, drugs, and identity horror, but lack of a clear payoff dilutes its impact. Still, it’s bold, original, and lingers like a bad trip.
Alexander Skarsgård as James did great but Mia Goth steals the show as Gabi—seductive, unhinged, and utterly magnetic. Her shift from charm to madness is the film’s heartbeat. Skarsgård commits too, lost in chaos, but script does not always match their energy.
Rich tourists can pay to have clones die for their crimes. It’s a sharp, gory satire on privilege that hooks you early but the second half is a little messy. Visually stunning—The psychedelic orgy scenes and brutal violence pushes boundaries hard.

This movie was quite the trip. Several twists and turns for sure. Plus it has Mia Goth doing Mia Goth things.

The first half is really great! Unfortunately, the second one became a simple "horror porn". Not a bad one, but there were a lot of possibilities, and he decided to go with none. It's not as good as "Possessor" (2020) or "Antiviral" (2012). I expected a cleverer development in a Brandon Cronenberg movie, specialty with a so intriguing plot like this.

How I love uncomfortable weird creepy movies

Oh yes, I liked that very much. Weird, beautiful, gruesome, surprising, thrilling, Mia Goth and did I mention it already? So fooorking weird! I did not expect anything at all and wow what a ride. I was disgusted and mesmerized at the same time. This trippy experience is definitely something I will rewatch many times.

Good bullseye, Cronenberg's son also released such a sticky-nasty film, it's not easy to put it on the recommendations. In such places, anything can happen to some. But as soon as you accept the rules, you find out that permissiveness is limitless. And what the hell are the rules? This parable is about you, but who are you?
