A Cure for Wellness
(1)A Cure for Wellness, Gore Verbinski’s eerie and atmospheric new horror film, looks like something supreme schlockmeister Roger Corman might have produced back in the day—if he’d been handed a boatload of cash and was given a green light to spend it on just one picture, that is. And that’s meant as a compliment: This movie is a demented riff on notable psychological thrillers like The Shining, Shutter Island, and The Phantom of the Opera, and it tosses in the most disturbing dental-work scene since Laurence Olivier did squirm-inducing things to Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man. It’s certainly the most deliriously deranged picture you’re likely to see this year.
Dane DeHaan stars as a would-be wolf of Wall Street named Lockhart, who is sent by his company’s board of directors to bring back Pembroke (Harry Groener), their CEO, from a remote Swiss spa that he refuses to leave.
