Horror fans every so often there comes an actress that manages to get the horror fandom so upset when they don;t get nominated for a major award. Well said actress also has a brand new horror film out and just like the film that she should really have been nominated for in the best actress category she nails it in this film as well and so then join me as I review the film that makes the Saw films look really like a Disney film by comparison with the film in question being called simply just "Infinity Pool" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when a struggling writer and his wife get meet a couple on vacation they are drawn into a deadly game for the writers very soul. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us on this very film was in all honesty really good altho the plot does seem like it's treading upon very familiar ground tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is The Northman and Godzilla Vs Kong star Alexander Skarsgård as James Foster and X and Pearl star Mia Goth as Gabi Bauer. Also starring in this film is Cleopatra Coleman as Em Foster , Jalil Lespert as Alban Bauer , Captain America: The Winter Soldier star Thomas Kretschmann as Detective Thresh , Amanda Brugel as Jennifer , Caroline Boulton as Bex , John Ralston as Dr. Bob Modan and Jeffrey Ricketts as Charles.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films cast turning in some really good performances altho I will admit that this film is perhaps Mia Goth's weakest performance just because of the fact that this films script gives not only her but also the rest of the cast nothing to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities is.
This film does a really good job of showing someones decent into madness and showing how it only effects them mentally but also physically as well. Which I thought was very interesting as it made the film feel alot more tense and alot more exciting as it's thing that we really haven't seen before since alot of films that deal with somebody going insane have it happen and we don't see the toll that it takes on them but here not only do we see the toll that it takes on people but it's also a key plot point in the film as well.
To me this film gave of very strong Midsommar since not only is it a very slow burn like Midsommar it's plot is also very eerily similar to that of Midsommar as well. Which is a shame because this films whole setup is very original but when you get right down to it this film comes across as a rip off of off Midsommar even down to showing a character going very slowly insane which is a shame because films are truly great films and the only thing that really sets the two films apart is the setting of both films since at their core both films are exactly the same film.
Like I just said this film is a very slow burn with this film taking it's time in telling it's story which is something that works both for and against this film. It works for this film because it allows the film to create tension and to fully develop it's characters however it works against the film because it means that for large portions of the films running time there's nothing actually happening and that does make the film boring which is a shame because when this films plot really does start to get going it is a very entertaining film but this film seems to think that you have to pick one over the other where as that simply isn't true since films like Scream 1996 and X for example both proved that you can create alot of tension and have great characters but still be a really entertaining film.
I said at the start of this review that this film makes the Saw films look like a Disney film and that's not only because of the amount of gore on display but also because of the character of Gabi Bauer. With that character being very insane so much so that she could in all honesty put John Kramer to shame since while he is indeed evil you can at least understand why he's doing what he's doing where as Gabi is just insane for the sake of being insane and is doing these evil things not to right some wrong but just because she can and that's it.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty nine minuets and seven seconds. With this films running time not really helping this film out since it is a really slow burn of a film and it doesn't have not only the story but also the amount of time needed to do that justice and as such when the films plot does indeed get going it feels like it's just rushing plot points instead of reaching them at a more natural pace which would have been helped if the story was expanded upon in the script and if the film had a slightly longer running time.
So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / resented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film are in all honesty not that bad. Since this film really doesn't have that many kills but when it does have a kill not only is very brutal and hard hitting but it also means something for the main character as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this is a very good film its also a film that is very boring and to be honest feels like that it's trying to hard to be scary which is a shame because when it;s not trying to hard to be scary it is genuinely scary in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
