      Antidote?

      The melody of the whole movie is weird, full of all kinds of contradictions or unrelated things, but the main line of the movie is clearly pinned on a creature, the eel, and the feeling of the eel is exactly what this movie brings to people. Feeling, dangerous, full of unknowns.

      The most impressive thing in the movie is nothing more than the scene where the heroine gets along with countless eels in the bathtub, which makes people feel chills, and is the item obtained after the...

      Have you seen Shutter Island?

      After watching this "Life-saving Antidote", I felt like "Shutter Island" for the first time, and many people must have seen it. It's a rare horror thriller, mainly because of the chilling atmosphere of the film. The whole film is mainly developed around this Pembrook as the main line, and the changes in the plot are somewhat unpredictable, but also thought-provoking. Many people in this film say that he is like a combination of "Shutter Island" and "Ten Days of Dangerous Love", and I have to...

      A thriller worth recommending

      This supernatural thriller tells the story of an employee who picks up his boss, who not only finds out that his boss is missing, but is also trapped in a European spa where he discovers horrific secrets. The plot of the story is well connected, with ups and downs, dangerous situations, and the ending is still unfinished. The actors of the movie are also very good-looking, and I am very satisfied as a European and American fan. "Lifesaving Antidote" also gives the unreasonable feeling that...

      The plot is exciting

      I really like watching horror movies, horror movies can keep my spirits up. This horror film is even more exciting, no, it should be said that it scared the baby to death. I really like this kind of psychological suspense movie. The plot makes people tense and not procrastination at all. The depression and tension expressed in the trailer attracted me to watch it. However, this two-and-a-half-hour movie did not disappoint me at all. It allowed me to spend a fulfilling afternoon. This story...

      When the young man slaughtered the dragon and turned into a dragon, the last smile of the male protagonist is the only way to find the real life-saving antidote. If you can live forever, and Wall Street is considered a P, will it still be worth working hard for the bosses under high pressure and dark...

      Barely pass. Verbinski's control of the surreal atmosphere is adequate, especially the scene where the male protagonist is in the steam bath. The whole film is basically built according to the retro & hallucinatory feeling that was popular in those years. When American business elites confront the weird ancient buildings in old Europe, these two common elements of American thrillers make you say which one is more crazy. This suspense makes the first act satiated, and the second act basically...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a horror film with clean images that can satisfy patients with cleanliness. Whether it is poster material or feature film, it is full of Nordic coldness. Therefore, when you see the uncomfortable shots inside, you feel like being slid by a cold scalpel, rather than being knocked head-on by a filthy bat   . (Timeline Review)
    For viewers who can accept the fiction and reality of the film and the open narrative style, the...

    Movie quotes

    • Volmer: [eating in the cafeteria with his patients] And do you know what we used to recommend for the common stomach ailment? The application of leeches. Based on the diagnosis, I always pitied the leech.

      [laughter around the table]

    • Volmer: [as the orderlies strap him down] It's all for your own safety Mr. Lockhart. We don't believe in chemical anesthesia at the institute. The impurities inhibit the cure. But, with the proper focus, the mind can overcome any amount of pain.

    • Hannah: [from trailer] You here for the cure?

      Lockhart: No. Actually, I was just leaving.

      Hannah: No one ever leaves.
