Mr. Lockhart (DeHaan), an ambitious young executive, is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from a mysterious “wellness centre” located in the Swiss Alps, which has produced some miraculous results. However, he soon discovers that the spa’s treatments are not all they seem, and as he slowly discovers its darkest secrets his sanity is tested, especially when he is diagnosed with the same illness that keeps the guests longing for the cure…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

After his last big-budget outing The Lone Ranger bombed hard, director Gore Verbinski returns to his smaller – and far less expensive – roots with this psychological thriller that will leave you guessing right up to the end.
