This feels like a throwback to classic horror films. There are nods, intentional or otherwise, to Jonathan Harker’s Transylvanian journey inDraculaand Jack Torrance’s mountaintop retreat for a relaxing working vacation inThe Shining. Whether or notA Cure for Wellnessdeserves to be in the same conversation as those films and ones similar to it remains to be seen, but this trailer does a fantastic job of hyping our anticipation for it. There’s more than enough creepy imagery to grab your attention though, as is the curse of trailers, this one might be giving away too much too soon.
