From the look of the trailer for "Infinity Pool", the new film from Brandon Cronenberg, it appears that the fruit hasn't fallen far from the tree. Cronenberg is obviously the son of the legendary Canadian filmmaker, David Cronenberg who early in his career became known for his offbeat, sci-fi body horror films like "Scanners", "Videodrome", "Dead Ringers" and his remake of "The Fly". The director made a return to this genre earlier this year with "Crimes of the Future", his first feature film since 2014.
With "Infinity Pool", the younger Cronenberg has written and directed his own science-fiction horror drama that features an inspired cast of Alexander Skarsgård, Cleopatra Coleman and Mia Goth who is having a moment now due to her amazing work in the horror films, "X" and "Pearl". The film focuses on a wealthy couple (Skarsgård and Coleman) who are enjoying a beach vacation on a tropical resort when tragedy strikes, leading to an accidental death. The couple are then lured into a world outside of the comfortable resort where they are forced to confront violent games and perverse horrors. "Infinity Pool" will make it's world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theaters shortly after the screening.
"Infinity Pool" is due in US theaters on January 27, 2023
