A Cura

If you could nick a David Fincher film’s throat, hang it upside down, and bleed it for two days, it would look like this movie. As a fetish object, it’s impressive.

A high-altitude horror – think a Bram Stoker reworking of *The Shining* or Shutter Highland – of real craft.

Gore Verbinski (...) understreger sin status som en Hollywoods fermeste æstetikere med en film, hvor hver indstilling emmer af en nærmest perverteret skønhed.

Gore Verbinski’s macabre asylum thriller offers an intoxicating blend of mystery and surrealism.
