Review of A Cure for Wellness (2017) by Abm0 — 06 Jan 2018
As others have said, the first half promises a lot and is beautifully shot, but then the slow-exploration horror cliche scenes start getting overused and time keeps passing with no real payoff on the established expectations, just an ever more obvious piece by piece reveal of some ancient story we're supposed to be horrified about, and the ending - as you can already predict half an hour before it comes - offers nowhere near proper closure.
And the most interesting aspect of it - the anti-finance/investment-culture comments sprinkled throughout end up not serving any higher purpose, not closing any logical loop of what was going on, they're just there for decoration.
A waste of time.
