A Cure for Wellness – Review

This post will contain spoilers.

 

I just got back from the theater where I saw A Cure for Wellness. It was a very good thriller that had me squirming in my seat often. I liked that there were plenty of small subtle foreboding references that let you know what the ending was going to be like, yet the ending still isn’t what you expected. These little tidbits were spaced out long enough to allow the whole plot to unfold at the pace of the movie, and near the end you still aren’t sure if the good guy is actually going to win because the movie is dark enough that it could go that far. The audio of the movie was disturbing without ever using common tropes such as violins or sudden loud noises. The scenes were also pretty and fitting of the tone. It was a very good movie and if you can deal with seeing a guy have his tooth drilled out I would recommend it.
