A Cure for Wellness (2016)
An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from an idyllic but mysterious "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps, but soon suspects that the spa's treatments are not what they seem.
The movie compels with some beautiful cinematography, especially of the Swiss location, and has some genuinely creepy moments, but the plot's mystery is protracted way too long and seems deliberately obscured by assembling one more diquieting set piece after the other.
Curse of the Blue Lights (1988)
A group of teenagers battle a horde of zombies and evil creatures that live underneath a graveyard.

LBJ (2016)
Lyndon B. Johnson aligns himself with John F. Kennedy, rises to the Presidency, and deals with the civil rights struggles of the 1960s.
Straight and professionally made, but a bit adulatory biopic focussed on LBJ's political transition as John F. Kennedy's Vice President and successor; it could have been so much more, although it is indeed a treat to watch Woody Harrelson give this politician some life.
