"Infinity Pool" follows a young, wealthy couple named James (Skarsgård) and Em, who embark on a lavish vacation at an all-inclusive resort. But as the synopsis teases, "Outside of the hotel gates waits something much more dangerous and seductive, beyond the edge of paradise."

While exact details about the dangers awaiting the couple are unknown, "Infinity Pool" has been billed as a sci-fi horror film. Considering the mood of "Possessor," viewers should expect more mind-bending, bloody twists. The director has also given quotes about his filmmaking philosophy that hint at what is to come.

"One of the things that I like about horror is that it explores parts of the spectrum of human emotion in a way that other genres don't. That's satisfying to me [...] I want to come out of a film feeling like I've had some sort of transformative experience," he told NME.

But don't expect Cronenberg's films to get too meta along the way. "I'm more into science than the supernatural," Cronenberg said in an interview with Slash Film. "I like the idea of taking what's interesting to me about a metaphor... and put it more into a science fiction context."
