6/10
Takes a long time to reach its disappointing conclusion; it's usually entertaining and eerie, though.

'A Cure For Wellness (2017)' is usually entertaining but is just far too too long, meandering in the middle act with multiple moments that actually add to nothing. It also isn't as creepy as it thinks it is, despite a decently eerie tone for much of the run-time. Though it isn't ever boring, I was never exactly pining to uncover the mystery at the heart of the feature. The finale also becomes incredibly silly, seemingly betraying the tone portrayed up until that point. I generally enjoyed the flick, though, even if it never really grabbed me. It just doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, especially as it moves into its final third, and takes a long time to get to a disappointing conclusion. 6/10
