“Infinity Pool” is the new button-pushing horror movie from Brandon Cronenberg, the son of body horror king David Cronenberg (making weird ass movies seems to be a family tradition). Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman star as James and Em, a beautiful young couple vacationing in the fictional country of Li Tolqa (actually filmed in Croatia and Hungary) where they run into Mia Goth as Gabi, a charming oddball who soon sucks them into a world they were very much unprepared for. Murder, mayhem, illegal cloning, full frontal nudity and boozy days at the beach are all a part of this holiday.

But how can you even wrap up a story this phantasmagorical and unpredictable? Read on and find out.

Major spoilers for “Infinity Pool” follow; if you haven’t seen the movie do not read further.

Just tell me why this movie is so controversial.

One night James and Em...
