A cure For Wellness
(Gore Verbinski - 2016)

"Fly Over a Cuckoo's Nest" mixed with the Hammer horror movies with a bit of Guillermo Del Toro flavor.
Very interesting idea well served by Dan Dehaan (who looks like a young Sam Neil here) and the always good Jason Isaacs.
It's also very well directed but fails to be the masterpiece it tries to be.
It's good, I rate it 7,5/10, but it is simply too long for what the story has to tell.
A simple idea needs a strong simple movie, not a 2h25 movie with too many scenes that could have been replaced by a single line of dialogue. There are also some lazy tricks used in the movie. Example: the hero is at the mercy of the evil guys and then... CUT, he escaped... Okay... thanks for not showing another 5 minutes scene of people running I guess... but it's a cheap editing trick.
I don't want to rant too much because it is a movie that I absolutely recommend. I had zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It's just a bit sad that this movie is not what it could have been.
