Review of A Cure for Wellness (2017) by Jess_Hill — 23 Mar 2017
Verbinski is a master of gothic horror, and this is a genre close to my heart, yet this offering is a beautifully polished but utterly predictable film with no surprises. The cinematography is stunning, and there are moments of exquisite tension and horrifying monstrosity, though some went far into gratuitous territory.
The storyline begins with intrigue, but unfolds without the intricacies I was expecting, resulting in an ultimately unsatisfying experience. The performances are accomplished, and the set design is superb, but don't expect the intellectual thrill the trailer would have you believe.
