movie, and it looks to be his most disturbing film yet, if the first reviews and reactions are anything to go by.<\/p>\n<p>Starring <a

Infinity Pool follows a couple holidaying in the fictional island of La Tolqa.<\/p>\n<p>When James (Skarsgard) commits a late-night hit-and-run, he decides the only way out is to pay to be cloned by the police so that the duplicate can take the fall and be executed in his place.<\/p>\n<p>With James declared dead, he can kill without consequence, giving Cronenberg a myriad of gory scenarios to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Shot in Croatia and Hungary, Infinity Pool recalls other recent projects satirising the narrow-minded lives of the wealthy such as The White Lotus, Succession and Triangle of Sadness, though is much more concerned with examining depravity.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the Swedish outlet <a
