Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today, I am going
to explain an American Psychological Neo-Gothic

Horror Film called ‘A Cure For Wellness’.
Spoilers ahead! Watch out and take care!

The protagonist of the movie;
Lockhart, is a self-centered,

young man, who doesn’t care about anything
other than his work. He is so career-obsessed

that he has left his mother in an old
age home, believing she is a distraction.

In the opening scene, he is called to a
meeting with the company’s higher ups and

fellow board members. There, he reads
an open letter from the CEO; Pembroke,

who addresses the board members. He reveals
that he is currently at a wellness spa in

Switzerland on a two week getaway. However, in
the letter, Pembroke expresses no intention to

return back and he calls out the company for
engaging in illegal and unethical financial

practices. Pembroke also says that he would
never approve the company’s planned merger

with another finance giant and warns the
board members against contacting him again.

After going through the troubling letter, the
members unanimously assign Lockhart to bring

Pembroke back to New York. They warn him that if
he fails to do the job, he’ll have to take the

fall for the entire scandal. Left with no choice,
Lockhart agrees and travels to Switzerland.

After touching down, he is driven up the hill
to the spa by a man named Enrico. The two

strike up a conversation and Enrico says that he
doesn’t understand why rich people from all over

the world come looking for this particular spa.
Their conversation is interrupted when an angry

villager chucks a drink at the car. However,
Enrico doesn’t even respond, implying that this

is a common thing here. He explains that the
villagers have a bad history with the people

that live on the hill. 2 centuries ago, the hill
was owned by an aristocratic family. Apparently,

the family’s last baron was so obsessed with
the purity of his bloodline, he decided that

only his sister was clean enough to carry his
child. When the church disapproved of the union,

he renounced God. This didn't go down well with
the villagers and on the baron’s wedding night,

they attacked and burnt the illicit couple
alive before leveling down the entire castle.

After that, the place was rebuilt and turned
into a wellness spa for the rich people,

who come here looking for the
cure for their emptiness.

In the next scene, Lockhart arrives at the spa
but learns that the visiting hours have already

ended. Therefore, he takes an appointment to
speak with the manager. He then goes outside

to make a call and there, he notices a
window to an eerie looking basement.

After a while, he finally meets the manager
and asks to speak with Pembroke. After taking

vitamin droplets from a peculiar blue bottle,
the manager tells him that their treatments are

most effective when exposure to the stresses
of the modern world are strictly limited. He

reveals that the spa is built over an ancient
aquifer that offers rejuvenating qualities.

Lockhart looks at the pictures in the room and
notices a man with bandages all over his body,

posing in front of the main building. However,
his gaze is abruptly disturbed when the manager

tells him to come back after 7 in the evening when
Pembroke will be done with his daily treatment.

Before leaving, Lockhart drinks a glass full of
water and thanks the manager for cooperating.

Unfortunately, on their way out of the hill,
a deer suddenly comes out of the woods and

strikes the car. It somehow gets lodged in the
windshield and due to the ensuing struggle,

Enrico loses control of the car
and ends up crashing into a ditch.

Three days later, Lockhart wakes up in
a room at the same spa. Shortly after,

the director of the place; Volmer approaches
him and explains that he broke his leg in

the accident. Volmer says that he has
already notified Lockhart’s firm about

the accident and asks him to try out the spa's
treatments during his stay. After he leaves,

Lockhart drinks water as he watches a
man covering the window to a basement

he saw earlier. To his horror, he then finds
a parasitic creature floating in his glass.

Following this, Lockhart sneaks out of the
room and finds Pembroke in the bath house.

He asks the old CEO to come home with him
but the latter claims that he can’t leave

because he is unwell. Pembroke then takes
a dip in the water and when he emerges,

he suddenly redevelops interest in the stock
market as if he has broken out of a spell. Hence,

he agrees to return to New York
and lead his company once again.

Excited, Lockhart quickly gets ready and
calls for a taxi. As he waits for Pembroke,

he meets amateur historian Victoria Watkins.
She shows Lockhart the remains of the church

where the baron apparently executed a priest. It
is believed that people used to come from miles

for the miracles attributed to the holy
water. Lockhart then tells her about the

baron's obsession with bloodline purity
and she promises to look more into it.

After a while, he meets the
youngest patient at the institution;

Hannah. She considers herself a special
case because she is the only patient who

is allowed to take the vitamins from a blue
bottle that Volmer and the other staff take.

Later, when Pembroke doesn’t show
up and goes missing from his room,

Lockhart confronts Volmer. The latter claims
that Pembroke’s condition suddenly deteriorated

and he has been moved to the next stage
of the treatment. Lockhart accuses him of

lying and calls him out for deliberately
making his patients sick to keep milking

them for money. Just then, Lockhart’s
nose starts to bleed and he collapses.

Dr. Volmer takes him to his clinic for a few
tests and there, Lockhart notices Hannah’s

picture on his desk. When asked about it,
Volmer claims that she’s special to him

because she experienced a serious trauma
when she was very young. Shortly after,

he reads Lockhart’s medical report and
recommends him to undergo treatment. The arrogant

American hesitantly agrees and when Volmer is
distracted, he steals Pembroke’s medical file.

Lockhart then undergoes treatment inside a
water tank. However, during it, the incharge

gets distracted, and the tank suddenly fills up
with eels, causing Lockhart to panic. He tries

to escape but in the process, his breathing tube
is pulled off by an eel. He almost drowns until

the incharge pulls him out of the water on time.
Lockhart breathes a sigh of relief and complains

about the eels but to his astonishment,
they have disappeared from the water.

Lockhart then returns to his room and
goes through Pembroke’s file. Right then,

when he looks through the window, he notices
a man taking a patient into the former church.

The next morning, Lockhart asks his historian
friend; Watkins about the church but she doesn’t

know what it is used for now. Instead, she
tells him that he was right about the Baron

and his sister’s illicit affair. However, the
villagers didn’t burn the place down because

of that reason. It turns out that the Baron was
performing sick and gruesome medical experiments

on his peasants. The farmers started finding
disfigured human bodies dumped in their fields

dried up like the mummies of Egypt. Fearing
that they might be next, the residents of the

village got together and killed the royal couple
brutally. Once Victoria finishes saying the story,

Lockhart figures out that the Baron was
probably looking for a cure to treat the

sick Baroness. Suddenly, a male nurse appears
and whisks Watkins away for her “treatment”.

Following this, Lockhart wanders around the
place until he notices Hannah riding her bike.

This gives him an idea. He asks her to show him
around the town, and in exchange, he will give

her a ballerina toy. Hannah, who appears to
be a kid mentally, agrees without hesitation.

After a long and fun ride, they stop at a local
tavern for some food. To Lockhart’s delight,

he finds Enrico there. It turns out the driver
also survived the crash and he was given a new

car by the wellness spa. The reason, however,
for this kind gesture was never specified.

Meanwhile, Lockhart gets to know Hannah over
some beers. She reveals that her mother died

in a fire when she was young and that her father
will come for her when she gets cured. She also

lets him borrow some of her vitamins. Lockhart
then leaves Hannah at the bar to visit Pieter,

the only doctor in town. Although Pieter is
a vet, he looks at Pembroke’s medical file

and reveals that his teeth are falling out,
probably due to chronic dehydration. This

puzzles Lockhart as the spa makes its patients
drink ample amounts of water. He connects it to

the Baron's experiments and the dried bodies that
were found in the field. It is believed the baron

was burned alive 200 years ago but Lockhart finds
it strange that people are flocking to the spa,

looking for a cure, something the baron was
looking for his sick wife. Pieter reveals that

her sickness was actually infertility. He then
excuses himself to aid a dying cow. It turns

out the cow fell sick after drinking
sewage water from the spa. He cuts the

poor animal’s stomach open, and shockingly,
a stillborn calf and some eels spill out.

Lockhart then returns to the bar and calls his
boss back in New York. To his astonishment,

he learns that Volmer had never informed his
superiors about the accident. The boss then

orders Lockhart to return to New York
with Pembroke within the next 24 hours.

Enraged, Lockhart confronts Hannah and asks her
why no one is allowed to leave the spa. He also

inquires about Pembroke’s whereabouts and the
blue bottle vitamin. The shy girl obviously won’t

answer any of it, and in a fit of rage, Lockhart
gets into a fight with a patron. Unfortunately,

things soon turn south and Lockhart is about
to be killed, but Volmer arrives in the nick

of time and saves him. Without making a fuss, he
then returns to the spa with the two patients.

Later that night, Lockhart again sees the staff
moving patients into the church. His tooth also

starts to fall out and he reports it at the
reception. When the nurse goes to fetch him

some medicine, he goes through her file and
locates Pembroke's room. On his way there,

Lockhart comes across Watkins. He tells her
that the Baron’s experiments are happening

again and in return, she reveals that
the baroness wasn’t infertile because

she was pregnant at the night of the
wedding. Before she was burned alive,

the baby was cut out of her womb and
thrown into an aquifer, but it survived.

Later, Lockhart finds the room where Pembroke
is supposed to be staying. To his shock,

the old CEO and several other patients have been
kept inside water tanks. Lockhart tries to free

Pembroke but without success. Suddenly,
Volmer arrives there and catches him in

the act. As a punishment, he straps Lockhart
down and drills a hole in his front tooth.

In the next scene, Lockhart somehow escapes
from the spa and heads to town with Enrico.

He goes straight to the local police station
and reports all of Volmer’s experiments. Soon,

the evil director is called into the
station and Lockhart accuses him of

continuing Baron’s experiments and killing
Pembroke. However, Volmer instead accuses

him of buying into Watkins’ conspiracy
theories. He then calls Pembroke inside,

revealing that the CEO is alive and well.
Puzzled by the whole incident, Lockhart

assumes that he was hallucinating earlier, so
he voluntarily returns to the spa with Volmer.

Later, he undergoes several treatments, because
of which he slowly begins to act and think like

Pembroke. He starts believing he is not well
and that must stay for a cure. However, one day,

as Lockhart is writing a note to his employers,
he suddenly has a moment of clarity. He breaks

a glass and uses one of its shards to cut open
his cast. To his shock, Lockhart learns that his

leg was never broken. He then breaks open the
gate to the church and ventures inside. There,

he finds Volmer’s laboratory, where he conducts
his experiments. Lockhart also finds an

underground area with a pool where dead bodies
are dumped and fed to eels. One of those dead

bodies happens to be Mrs. Watkins. Apparently,
she knew too much for her own good. Suddenly,

Lockhart is discovered by a worker, but he
manages to neutralize him before running away.

Meanwhile, Hannah is using the pool and
she has her first period. Soon, Eels start

swimming near her in a perfect circle. For some
reason, they don’t harm her at all. However,

Hannah panics and immediately gets out of the
pool. She starts running through the rooms

until she runs into Lockhart. The latter tries to
explain what’s going on but a frightened Hannah

hits him and runs away. Following this, she
approaches Volmer, who is having dinner with

his patients. Lockhart also follows her
and shouts at the top of his lungs that

Volmer is a liar and that he is deliberately
making everyone sick by contaminating their

water. Unfortunately, the patients don’t
believe him and instead gang up on him.

Lockhart passes out and later, wakes up locked
in a chamber. Soon, Volmer approaches him and

starts revealing everything. He mentions that the
eels only live for a few years but in the spa’s

aquifer, they live for as long as 300 years. But
for humans, this same water is considered toxic,

which explains why most of the patients
are falling sick. However, centuries ago,

the baron found out that a proper filtration
process could turn the water drinkable for

even humans. This process was not a normal
one though, as the filters were live humans,

who had to go through a great deal of pain. The
Baron obviously didn’t care about any of it,

so he sacrificed hundreds of unwilling
peasants, until he was killed by the angry mob.

After revealing all this, Volmer
forces a tube down Lockhart’s throat,

through which the creepy eels enter
his stomach. They then filter out the

‘vitamins’ from his digestive system,
which apparently makes one immortal.

Following this, Lockhart has his teeth
fixed and he appears to be changed just

like the rest of the patients, stuck
in a delusion that he is unwell.

Meanwhile, Volmer gives Hannah a new dress
and marries her. Now that she has experienced

her first period, he wants to copulate
with her and continue their bloodline.

Back in his room, Lockhart again has a moment of
clarity when he goes through Watkins’ notes. He

finds a portrait that was taken a while after the
fire. He breaks the portrait and lo and behold,

he notices the man with bandages holding hands
with a little girl. She is none other than Hannah.

It turns out Volmer is the baron and Hannah
is his daughter. He somehow survived the fire,

and lived for 2 centuries disguised as
different personalities. All this while,

he continued his experiments on the guise of
running a wellness spa. He killed innocent people,

extracted the vitamins from their digestive
systems, and consumed it to remain immortal.

He also gave it to Hannah, and this is the
reason why she considers herself ‘special’.

In the next scene, Volmer brings her to a room
and tries to do bad things to her. Fortunately,

Lockhart arrives there just in time to stop him.
This infuriates Volmer and he finally reveals his

scarred face. He then attacks Lockhart, but
the latter ducks and sets the room on fire.

In no time, the fire spreads toward the rest
of the castle. Lockhart tries to free Hannah,

but Volmer attacks him and drags him to the edge
of the eel pool in an attempt to finish him off.

However, Hannah, who at this point has realized
that her father is a monster, somehow frees

herself and rushes to rescue Lockhart. Just in
time, she strikes Volmer with a shovel and shoves

him into the pool, making him eel food. Lockhart
and Hannah then escape just as the patients and

staff flee the burning castle. They take Hannah's
bike and ride away into the dead of the night.

On the road, the duo runs into Lockhart’s
bosses, who have arrived to check up on

the situation. They ask Lokhart about
Pembroke but he tells them that the old

man is gone. They then tell him to get in
the car, but he refuses. The movie ends as

Lockhart continues riding away into the
night, with a sinister grin on his face.
