Is 'Infinity Pool' worth watching?

As of February 28, "Infinity Pool" has an "87% Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 172 reviews. Critics praise the film's dark satire, surreal horror, and impressive performances, but some reviewers feel the movie fails to deliver a compelling message.   

The film is known for its disturbing content, so the movie is not for the faint of heart. Based on the movie's critical acclaim, however, "Infinity Pool" looks like it's well worth a watch for fans of graphic horror stories with elements of satire.
