Mia Goth might not be winning an Oscar for her performance in Pearl, but her next horror film with Brandon Cronenberg is looking absolutely, completely bonkers.
Recommended VideosHaving been edited down from an NC-17 rating to just an R, Infinity Pool is looking for all the world like the most provocative and unrelentingly horny horror film in many years. Early reactions from Sundance tease it as being possibly the most outrageous film anyone in the Cronenberg clan has ever put to film — which is surely saying something.
Brandon Cronenberg, son of famed body horror director David, has seen three features released so far in his career — all with the hallmarks of his father’s unmistakable eroticism and horror. Like father, like son. Although we do wonder if David will call to “make sure everything’s alright at home” following Infinity Pool.
Holy hell, #InfinityPool destroyed me in the best possible way. Brandon Cronenberg is easily one of the most provocative directors working today & this is yet another masterpiece that defied all my expectations. Mia Goth & Alexander Skarsgård are frigging PHENOMENAL. #Sundance pic.twitter.com/Ypx1hcrwp5

Infinity Pool is a twisted, terrifying ride that’s just as fun as it is fucked up. Brandon Cronenberg delivers a story/ visuals that are bizarre, surreal, & completely intoxicating. Loved seeing Alexander Skarsgård go off the rails & Mia Goth at her unhinged best!!#Sundance2023 pic.twitter.com/GZQ8a1Lfmg

Mia Goth done it again and Brandon Cronenberg brought Alexander Skarsgård in on a leash. #Infinitypool wild. Hilarious. Awful. A+. Jail for everyone involved. Repeatedly. https://t.co/mIliROg4Hf pic.twitter.com/x6PJtt4jE0

— 𖤐 Bri 𖤐 (@BriAnimator_) January 24, 2023The screening’s meme value didn’t stop there, with Mia Goth doorhangers and mask cut-outs being handed to those in attendance. The doorhanger teases the ridiculousness of this White Lotus-like setting with all the horniness of, well, a Cronenberg movie. Currently sitting at 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, Infinity Pool will see a limited release in the United States.
