I had a taste for "A Cure For Wellness" for a while now, though when I finally got to it, I couldn't remember why. I didn't even remember the genre. Which usually gives a movie the edge. It starts like "The Talented Mr. Ripley," with the main character being sent to Europe to bring someone back to NY, and the beginning as well as the middle part are nice, but the end turns out to be a quite typical and predictable horror. C'mon, we can do better. But visually it's really good.

A very enjoyable collection of themes from a favorite movie of mine; a movie that, I think, didn't really get a fair shake.
Yes, it's a crazy quilt of genre movie references, but anything that gestures at Bava's Baron Blood (to name just one) is OK by me. (Really, it's pretty great.)
