Suspense and Horror “A Cure for Wellness”

Directed by Gore Verbinski, A Cure for Wellness follows an ambitious young executive sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps.

He soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he unravels its terrifying secrets, his sanity comes to the test, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests here longing for the cure.

The movie is streaming now,  or you can get the Blu-ray/DVD.

The film’s foreboding undertones make it feel like a psychological thriller, while it appears intriguing.

Verbinski won both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. He has directed Mouse Hunt, The Ring, the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films, Rango, and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die For Rango.

Verbinski took on a challenge by directing a distinctly different genre.
