What happens

Infinity Pool is a 2023 science fiction horror film written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg. The film stars Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman. Set in the fictional country of Li Tolqa, it follows struggling novelist James Foster (Skarsgård) and his wife Em (Coleman), a couple on vacation at a seaside resort who, after meeting another couple and having dinner with them, discover the country's dark culture. Cronenberg started developing the project in 2019, with production later being pushed back to 2021. Much of the cast joined the project that year and filming took place primarily in Budapest and Šibenik. Infinity Pool premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2023, and was theatrically released in Canada on January 27, 2023, to critical acclaim, with particular praise for Goth's performance.
