Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean) returns to the horror genre with his latest film, A Cure for Wellness. Verbinski is such a strong visual director and storyteller. Things got a little out of hand with his Pirates films, but for the most part, I've enjoyed the movies his movies, and this latest project looks freakin' incredible! The film stars Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man), and it's going to be a crazy psychological thriller! Here's the synopsis:

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. He soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he begins to unravel its terrifying secrets, his sanity is tested, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests here longing for the cure.

The wellness center looks like a maddening insane asylum, which might be one of the reasons I'm drawn to the movie. I'm fascinated by the history of mental health and old asylums. A Cure for Wellness also stars Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter) and Mia Goth (The Survivalist, Nymphomaniac). It's set to be released in theaters on February 17th, 2017.
