Imagine you’re sitting in the movie theater with you parents, or friends, or significant other. Now imagine that someone on the screen enters the room, then starts undressing in front of a man, with no context whatsoever. Then this man starts playing with himself, with noises that would make anyone want to barf. Finally, imagine that the whole scene had absolutely no value whatsoever to the plot.

This may seem out of reach, but it truly happens in the move “A Cure for Wellness”. It was in the middle of the movie and had no point. The characters in that scene were never seen again after that event either. The worst part (well all of it was the worst part) of this scene was that after it happened they made no reference to it at all. It took up atleast 2-3 minutes of the movie. The way it was placed into the movie made me think that the directors just wanted to make their movie 2-3 minutes longer. Like when you’re writing a paper and you need a certain amount of words, people start putting a bunch of sentences together that have nothing to do with the subject.

Now I’ll explain what I think the plot was supposed to be. It was about this business man who was sent by his bosses to retrieve a co-worker who was in the health asylum. Let me be clear, this wasn’t a mental asylum, it was just massage and water therapy. It was mainly occupied by older men and women.
To tell you the truth though, it didn’t seem like there even was a plot.

The whole movie was chaos. I was confused from start to beginning. The bases of the story was that this man who was the king of the town, married his sister and got her pregnant. The wife was killed but the fetus survived. The man this whole time uses ‘the cure’ to make sure he and his daughter are healthy. He does this because later he wants to have sex with her for a pure-bloodline.
I was disgusted the whole time.

It left me so confused. What was the point of the eels? How do you create ‘the cure’? What does ‘the cure’ even cure? How is the government not stopping this? Why do the people like being there? Are they brainwashed?

I would like to state with the fact that I was excited to see “The Cure for Wellness”. It upset me because i know the idea of the movie would be so cool, but they did it terribly. I am warning you, DO NOT see this movie.
