Plot summary
James Foster (Alexander Skarsgård) and his wife Em (Cleopatra Coleman) are vacationing at a resort in Croatia. Guests are told to stay on the resort grounds. James and Em meet the beautiful Gabi Bauer (Mia Goth) and her husband Alban. James wrote a book, which Gabi claims to have read and loved.After the four have dinner, they venture outside the resort grounds the next day. While driving that night, James accidentally runs over a man, killing him. The police take James and Em to the station and inform them that James's punishment is death. However, James can avoid punishment by paying to have himself cloned, with the clone being killed in his place. James pays to have the clone made and avoids death.Returning to the resort, a horrified Em goes to bed. James, meanwhile, goes to the receptionist to make arrangements to leave, but Gabi stops him. Gabi reveals that she and Alban once tried to construct an infinity pool, during which a few of their workers died. To avoid punishment, Gabi and Alban had clones of themselves created to be executed instead.Gabi takes James to her villa, where she and Alban introduce him to their friends—a group of criminals who avoided punishment for their crimes by paying to have their clones made and killed. Gabi seduces James into becoming a criminal like them, teaching him their horrific ways, which include capturing, abusing, and even shooting guests and staff members. Despite being married to Alban, Gabi kisses James several times. James is attracted to the beautiful Gabi but still loves Em, who eventually leaves on a flight back to the United States, while James stays behind.Gabi gives James a drug that makes him hallucinate an orgy in which he and Gabi make love, and the gang members do the same. One night, Gabi and the gang force James to beat up his clone. Horrified by what he has done, James runs to his room and locks the door. Gabi, trying to open the door, tells James it was a joke. She even offers to bring the double inside so they can both make love to her, but James refuses to open the door.The next morning, James grabs his passport and boards a bus, hoping to get back to the United States. Unfortunately, the evil Gabi and the gang catch up beside the bus in their convertibles. Gabi shoots the window next to James, causing the driver to stop the bus. Gabi demands that James come out, and when he doesn't, she threatens the bus riders, saying she will board the bus and start shooting unless they hand James over. Reluctantly, James gets off the bus and is captured by Gabi and the gang.Gabi mocks James, calling him a "pathetic sucky baby," and reveals she never read his book. She admits that James has been nothing more than a source of amusement for her and her friends during their vacation. James wrestles with Gabi for the gun but is ultimately forced to flee into the woods. Gabi shoots him in the leg, but James manages to find a house where he heals and rests.When James exits the house in the evening, Gabi and her friends find him again. At gunpoint, Gabi forces James to kill his clone, which he beats to death in a fit of anguish, breaking down in tears afterward. In a disturbingly maternal gesture, Gabi offers James her breast, and he breastfeeds.The next morning, James, Gabi, Alban, and the others head to the airport. Gabi and her friends casually board their flight, unaffected by their evil actions, but James chooses to stay behind. He returns to the now-closed resort and sits outside in the rain, as the resort is shut down for the rainy season.
Suggested correction: We only see him get off the bus, the next shot is him walking with the cars behind him. They could have got his stuff from the bus in between shots.
Charles: I went for a colonoscopy last month, and it was like looking at a painting by Jackson Polyp.
