12 Underrated Recent Horror Movies You NEED To See

11. A Cure for Wellness

A Cure For Wellness
20th Century Fox

Ever wonder what Pirates of the Caribbean helmer/Hollywood journeyman Gore Verbinski has been up to recently?

Well, wonder no more, as the answer is A Cure For Wellness.

The flick is a strange and trippy surreal mystery which sees Dane DeHaan's beleaguered corporate executive follow his boss to a remote retreat, only to get himself caught up in a bizarre and eventually outright gothic slice of genre insanity.

A flop at the box office, this demented mountaintop psychedelic horror benefits from an unusually sharp-witted and stoic hero, an agreeably cheesy Jason Isaacs performance, and some stunning scenery as its knotty plot melds together elements of everything from Stonehearst Asylum and Shutter Island to Jenifer Egan's horror novel The Keep, before an almost Lovecraftian denouement.
