When a Wall Street stockbroker travels to a mysterious wellness center, he begins to suspect not all is what it seems in this visually resplendent thriller.
Gore Verbinski’s visually stunning psychological horror film A Cure for Wellness follows an ambitious financial executive, Lockhart, as he is tasked to visit an unsettling wellness center in the Swiss Alps in search of his company’s CEO. Lockhart soon discovers the disturbing nature of the center and those who are seemingly trapped inside with no wish to venture outside the center's walls. Actors Mia Goth, Dane DeHaan, and Jason Isaacs deliver a chilling depiction of the consuming nature of monetary obsession, modern capitalism, and the overpowering drive to power and success that is commonly sought by modern society.
