This Horror Movie Is ‘The White Lotus For Sickos’
At a luxury resort rich people use a ghastly loophole to evade the consequences of their actions: paying an exorbitant sum of money to have a double created and executed in their place.
The White Lotus is Mike White’s dark comedy drama series that fans from across genres are obsessed with. Each season follows a different cast of characters at a “White Lotus” luxury resort. While season 3 ends this Sunday (April 6, 2025), there are plenty of movies that capture the same vibe as White Lotus for fans who crave more.
A great fit for White Lotus fans is the sci-fi horror movie Infinity Pool (2023). Infinity Pool stars Alexander Skarsgård as James, a struggling writer married to a wealthy woman. The two vacation at a fancy resort where James meets an enigmatic woman played by Mia Goth.
After a day drinking at a beach, James accidentally hits someone with his car. In the fictional country Infinity Pool set in, this crime is punishable by death. James then learns of a loophole rich people use to evade the consequences of their actions: to pay an exorbitant sum of money to have a double created to be executed in his place.
The biggest difference between The White Lotus and Infinity Pool is that the former has comedic elements while the latter is much darker. Infinity Pool features nudity, on-screen sex acts, adult breastfeeding and murder. It was originally rated NC-17, but was edited down to an R, despite keeping a scene where Alexander Skarsgård is fully nude. It has been called “The White Lotus- but for sickos.“
Infinity Pool is currently streaming on video on demand.
