Brandon Cronenberg's Infinity Pool is a science fiction horror following a couple, James and Em, as they vacation at a luxurious island resort. The wealthy pair could wish for nothing more; beautiful beaches, staff eager to meet their every demand, and a tropical climate. They're living the dream, right? Not for long, however. When mysterious tour guide Gabi takes the couple outside the resort, to the less visitor-friendly environment that surrounds the area, a tragic accident results in dark and dangerous consequences. Charged with the death penalty, James is given an option that could solve all of his problems: for the right price, a lifelike double will be created to attend the execution in his place. Instead of resolving the issue, this offer exposes the island's subculture of violence and surreal horror that lurks beneath the resort's charming facade.
Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) plays James, Cleopatra Coleman (Dopesick) plays Em, and Mia Goth (X) plays Gabi. Joining them are Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong) as Thresh, Amanda Brugel (The Handmaid's Tale) as Jennifer, and John Ralston (Ready or Not) as Dr. Modan. Keep reading to find out how you can watch Infinity Pool.

Watch the Infinity Pool Trailer
NEON released a trailer for Infinity Pool on their official YouTube channel on December 8, 2023. The trailer begins with a tense conversation between James and Em. James wants to stray outside the boundaries of the resort, to "mix things up a little", but Em is reluctant to do so, stating that they barely know the tour guide who will be responsible for looking after them. They are then seen taking in the sights with their tour guide, Gabi. James is an author, and the mysterious Gabi is a fan. However, it seems James' works aren't all that successful as he tensely explains that he's still piecing together his next book. Em makes things more than a little awkward when she reveals that she financially supports James. Under the darkness of night, James and Em drive around the island, but their adventure culminates in a deadly accident and James is told by an official that any such crime committed on the island is punishable by death. Panicking, James is offered a mind-bending opportunity that could save his life, and he grabs it with both hands: for the right price, a lifelike double will be created to attend the execution in his place. But that's just the beginning of his troubles. Despite us learning a lot from the trailer, it's clear that a lot is also being held back. It'll be interesting to see just how dark Infinity Pool will get.
