Video: 86

The Blu-ray transfer of "A Cure for Wellness" delivers a visually rich 1080p presentation with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting the spectral greens and cold blues, deep blacks, and exceptional fine details, although some fans may lament the absence of a 4K UHD release to maximize its visual splendor.

Audio: 86

The DTS-HD MA 7.1 track for 'A Cure for Wellness' delivers a highly immersive audio experience with pristine dialogue clarity, dynamic ambient effects, and a hauntingly effective score by Benjamin Wallfisch, though the absence of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X may be a minor drawback for audiophiles.

Extra: 36

Extras feature hauntingly beautiful 'Meditations' with unique calming narrations, a detailed profile of composer Benjamin Wallfisch's process in 'The Score,' an intriguing deleted sequence 'It’s Wonderful Here,' and various digital and DVD copies—though the overall offerings are somewhat sparse.

Movie: 63

"A Cure for Wellness", directed by Gore Verbinski, blends gothic aesthetics and surreal visuals reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft with body horror and psychological thrills. Despite its polarizing elements and bloated runtime, the film’s meticulous production design, eerie atmosphere, and unnerving score offer a compellingly twisted experience that may grow on viewers over multiple watches.
