Gore Verbinski’s gothic creeper A Cure for
Wellness takes its sweet time getting anywhere. But hot damn, when it
does, it goes full-on, bugnuts, Wicker Man crazy. In fact,
Robin Hardy’s 1973 horror mystery is a good point of comparison for A Cure for Wellness on many fronts—story wise, tonally, and the willingness
to straight-up go bananas when the time comes.
