A Cure For Wellness

Why did this movie bombed?

It was fucking kino. The love child of Dracula and Shutter Island.

it was fucking garbage

>kino

Can we stop throwing that word around for flicks like these? It was ok but building up to a way better reveal then we actually got

What would you change?

You mean Bioshock

EEL POISON OLD PEOPLE SWEAT IMMORTALITY FUCKING REALLY.

First half was good, second half was capeshit-tier

Too long. Otherwise ok gothic chiller.

Cutting out about an hour of the movie.

This
The final boss fight against the burnt faced pedo count was laughably bad

Great movie. Would have been even better if the protagonist had died.

>Can find a cure for wellness
>Can't find a cure for baldness

It totally deteriorated in the second half.

The plot not being retarded, for starters.

Movie actually started pretty fine, but as the mystery unveils the whole thing goes down in flames.

All fair points, but tell me precisely what you would have changed.

Longer than it needed to be, I enjoyed the tits, incest, and atmosphere

What was up with his sexual predator grin at the end when he's cycling away?

That's one of my questions as well.

because it gave away the plot so early and was handholding the brainlets throughout the whole film, there was no mystery at all.

You just felt they forced you to ejaculate too quick

It was watchable but if you have any interest in horror films it plays like a amateur greatest hits sizzle reel. Everything from Tim Burton to Mario Bava to David Lynch to Martin Scorsese to Val Lewton to Hammer Horror to David Cronenberg etc. etc. is cribbed SHAMELESSLY and none of it executed remotely as well as those originals.

Plus the structure and the pacing were so off the movie felt like it was a billion fucking hours long.

At worst it was a 7/10

Beautiful film

This was Gore Verbinski's scraps of his canceled Bioshock movie though.

ganz grosses kino

It was true then? Wow.

>no gore verbinski hard r bioshock film
FUCK IT ALL, FUCK

The film had no fucking clue what it was trying to be. One scene would be a beautiful static shot creating atmosphere and tension And then the next would be a hammy shot reverse shot conversation with terrible contrived dialogue.
Then the film didn't know how to end so it had like 4 endings.
Then you have the characters acting like idiots
>somehow escapes and sneaks into taxi
>"don't take me back to a large city or the train station, take me to the small town 5 minutes away so I can call for help from there"
And it never even explained how the serum was made.
>put leaches in body
>put body in weird 50s tank
>???
>profit

The film was a mess but it was almost a masterpiece

It was the sweat. The patients are put in the iron lungs, which are hot as hell (Lockhart almost burns his hand on one), and when it tries the liquid (when he's with Hannah at the bar) he mentions it tastes like "sweaty fish".

except for the lead this movie was garbage

You do know what kino means right?

It's the Swedish word for meme

KINO

this movie was really lovecraftian

I'd even go as far as to say lovecraftesque with a Lynch-ish vibe and a pinch of Kafka

too fucking long and no pacing at all

Im from an ex-Yu country so that's a yes

lead actor isn't a box office draw, it's also why Valerian bombed too

>from visionary director
AND
DROPPPPPPPEED

It was exactly what it looked like, he's cycling away with some girl who's going to be 15 for years

The ending was complete garbage. It devolved from slow burn psychological horror into over the top Frankenstein monster movie.

Terribly paced, cliché and pretentious as hell.I knew the docter guy was evil when the minute he showed up.

What does kino mean in serbo-croatian?
