Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

danielmartinx I love horror and suspense, and I am in love with beautiful camera work. This film delivers a competent standard horror/thriller product, but there were so many times when I wanted more. The sanitarium in the mountains, with an evil leader who bears strange resemblance to the pieces of history that we pick up along the way, is stuffed with twists and turns that you can anticipate.The young tender girl who accompanies him to the town, for instance -- did anyone not know from the start what her character was all about?Pembroke is a broken and empty human being. What good could he do if he returned to the company in New York? He is a lost cause from the start. This is not logical.There are a dozen cliche-driven characters in this film, and I got tired of the scenes trying to create suspense by purposely dragging out the "scary" moments. Even the beautiful camera work got on my nerves after a while. Sure, center things and move the camera slowly forward -- do tons of reaction shots of our hero looking baffled -- return to the object, in the center of the screen again, and inch forward -- another reaction shot -- this could take up my whole life.I'm giving it six out of ten because is it competent, moderately intelligent, and the scenery and sets are beautiful. But I kind of knew from the start where the story was taking us, and I am tired of this.

Lakisha Ferguson My sister saw this in theaters and didn't understand it so we both decided to watch it for clarification(my 1st viewing). Let's jus say I wss not impressed. I feel like the main character had numerous times to get away yet he continued to go back to the hospital! I wasn't a fan at all, it was suspenseful or interesting. Then the final 20 30 mins jus made my head do a double take! Plus my sister fell asleep so... Yea no clarifying for her!

joepu-82816 If you are a fan of classic British Hammer Horror genre then you'll like this film, it has all the ingredients of the best of the Hammer films i.e. creepy location, strange people, hostile villagers, a damsel in distress and a mad doctor. Without giving anything away the ending is also done in the classic Hammer style. There is nothing new or original about this film but it is very enjoyable and well acted and keeps you guessing for a while, it has good atmosphere and a stunning location.

Mike_Devine Gore Verbinski has demonstrated time and time again that he can deliver films that strike a chord with the general moviegoing audience. From the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise to the original horror hit 'The Ring,' he's had an understanding of what will resonate and thrill many. In 'A Cure for Wellness,' Verbinski aims high but unfortunately misses the mark.'Wellness' starts out with an interesting premise - a young executive at a financial services firm must travel to a secluded, exclusive resort in the Swiss Alps to retrieve his company's CEO after it becomes impossible to reach him. Sure, this is mysterious and sets us up for what could be a pretty chilling series of events, but as many films tend to do, this one suffers from mediocre execution.What 'Wellness' has working for it is the picturesque scenery and beautiful cinematography. The thing is shot very well, and even the dreary, clinical interior shots within the "resort" are surprisingly cool. There are also plenty of unsettling things that transpire throughout the film, and while this is far from a traditional horror movie, it definitely has enough substance to play tricks on your mind. However, this is pretty much where the positives end.One of the biggest misses 'Wellness' has is with the execution of the story. The "twist" that is revealed in the climax can be seen from miles and miles away, even before subtle bread crumbs are dropped in the second act. This predictability distracts from the rest of the film, and it's hard to concentrate on each scene once this gets in your mind. There's also the hollow acting from Dane DeHaan - who proves once again that his wooden performance can take away from a film. To be fair, Mia Goth does not do much better. When weighing all of this together, it's clear that what could have been a great suspense effort actually collapses under its own weight.Verbinski should be encouraged to do more films in the vein of 'A Cure for Wellness,' but he should also learn from its shortcomings before doing so.
