How's it? I heard the end is pretty bad.

I liked it myself. It does get pretty bonkers by the end but that was what I wanted. My only complaints about the movie is that it's a half hour too long and the mystery isn't enough to warrant it. Still, the style and mood is fantastic and Jason Isaacs is a blast.

The ending, without giving anything away, was very cheesy and a copout with no pay off on anything that came before. Cliched genre film IMO.

So, without any spoilers, would you guys consider the film meaningful and significant on any level (social, emotional, thematic), or is it basically just genre shtick (which may be more or less entertaining depending upon one's perspective and affinity for horror)?

No, it is very pretentious and empty. They wax philosophical a bit near the end to give it some kind of nihilistic meaning, but fail. If you really think about the title, The Cure for Wellness, you may get an idea of the kind of ironic parable that you will be in for. It's a bad joke IMO.

I agree that it was too long and went bad towards the end but the build up was quite intriguing. I kept thinking-"DON'T drink the water"...
