Verbinski is as strong as ever with his framing and camera work, its just that the writing is a bit wonky. Its still good fun and the performances are good but the film sometimes loses focus, it picks back up everytime tho.
Mia goth's characters is the weak link when it comes to her character but the others are better written.
Its just that the themes of the film are not that clear(at least for me)

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gorgeously unsettling descent into a spa that's far more sinister than it appears, wrapped in fog, mystery, and slowly tightening dread. Watching it feels like being trapped in a nightmare where the walls close in and nothing can be trusted.
