It's fairly obvious that director Gore Verbinski carries a soft spot for the twisted and morbid. His debut directorial effort,
Mouse Hunt, was a family movie obviously intended to be just a Home Alone knock-off, so of course, he starts off the feature with a funeral procession and a separate on-screen heart attack in short order. His
Pirates Of The Caribbean movies frequently diverged into spooky terrain and don't forget about the random cannibal elements (including ravenous rabbits) in
The Lone Ranger. After nearly fifteen years of playing in the real of PG & PG-13 fare, Gore Verbinski's newest movie,
A Cure For Wellness, offers him the chance to just go nuts with all the twisted story content he can imagine.
