INFINITY POOL
Year: 2023

Listed Summary: James and Em Foster are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors.
The UnReel Take:
Bottom Line: This is an artsy horror movie, with superb performances from the cast. Definitely not for everyone. If you like your movies to take you on a journey and mess with your mind, and leave you debating what the message was, this is one to check out. If you don’t like creepy masks, up close shots of physical violence, confusion, or flashing lights, you might consider another movie.
UnReel AR: 7.5
UnReel Category: Dark Horror - There really isn’t much “horror” in the jump scare kind of way. More in the, actions taken, and consequences of actions kind of way.
Food Pairing: Grill up or pan fry some shrimp, put it in a warm flour or corn tortilla, top it off with some mango salsa and queso fresco, maybe some cilantro. That should put you in the right spot for this movie.
Drink Pairing: I personally had an oatmeal stout during this movie, and it was good. But, I couldn’t help but thinking any kind of mixed rum drink would have added to the experience.
