The film is a supernatural horror story about an ambitious young executive sent to the Swiss Alps with the intention of bringing the company CEO back from a mysterious "wellness center". Unexpectedly, not long after stepping into the medical institution, he found that the boss not only disappeared from the world, but this medical institution had another mystery. Mia Goss in nursing home "The Sick." The suspenseful narrative is steady, rich in details, and fascinating. The male and female protagonists are just perfect, each with a mysterious temperament and room for change. The first part of the secret revealing routine is similar to shutter island, but it is not the brain-burning analysis of the spiritual world. After the middle part, I have seen it in recent years. The most exciting cult story, the logic is smooth, the system is complete, the second part turns into a hollywood ending, and all the accumulated stagnation before is exhausted and hearty.

Pembroke: [Lockhart reading his letter] To my fellow-members of the Board. A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness, or go blind once he has the gift of sight, any more than he can be unborn. We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts, we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap us in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement. Superiority to other men.

Pembroke: [Lockhart now reading the letter sitting at boardroom table] There is a sickness inside us. Rising like the bile that leaves that bitter taste at the back of our throats. It's there in every one of you seated around the table. We deny its existence until one day the body rebels against the mind and screams out, "I am not a well man." No doubt you will think only of the merger. That unclean melding of two equally diseased institutions. But the truth cannot be ignored. For only when we know what ails us can we hope to find the cure. I will not return. Do not attempt to contact me again. Sincerely, Roland E. Pembroke.
Hank Green: Well, Mr. Lockhart, what do you make of that?
Lockhart: Clearly he's lost his mind.
Wilson: Our thought exactly.
Hollis: Man goes for two-week spa vacation and has a complete mental breakdown.
Humphrey: [viewing his smartphone] Who the hell takes the waters in the 21st century anyway?
