Review of A Cure for Wellness (2017) by Teddywyman — 10 Jun 2017

Yeah, I would go ahead and ignore the critics on this one. It's very similar to Shutter Island in how the movie feels and how it's set up, and artistically it's similar to Verbinski's other horror endeavor The Ring. If you liked either of those movies, you'll definitely like this.

Even beyond that, I thought it's a very well done mystery film. The characters are interesting and compelling, the story has a plausible plot that still has nice twists and turns, and the payoff at the end is very satisfying. It also has some really interesting motifs that are carried throughout the film, and themes that are subtly built up until the end. Thinking back you can sort of piece together things you maybe didn't realize were connected. It's imperfect, but still a creepy, mysterious, captivating movie. If you're the kind of person that saw the trailer and thought it looked good, you'll like the movie - it delivers on its promises.
