Plot :
At a large financial services firm in New York City, a man named
Morris is working late when he suffers a fatal heart attack. Lockhart,
an ambitious young executive, takes his place and is sent by the company
board members to retrieve the company's CEO, Roland Pembroke, from an
idyllic, but mysterious, "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps.
This retrieval is prompted by a troubling letter from a seemingly much
changed Pembroke, whom they need to sign off on an imminent company
merger. There is also an ongoing investigation into criminal business
deals, which several partners hope to pin on Pembroke upon his return.
Arriving at the spa, Lockhart is met with some resistance by the staff,
particularly Dr. Heinreich Volmer, in his attempts to speak with
Pembroke. He eventually succeeds in getting through to him, but not
before a car crash forces him to recover at the center with a broken
leg.
In his time at the spa, Lockhart meets a mysterious young girl named
Hannah, who, like Volmer, drinks a strange fluid kept in a cobalt
bottle.
A patient named Victoria Watkins, as well as residents of the nearby
town, tell Lockhart the story of the spa that was built on the ruins of a
castle, once owned by a baron 200 years ago. The baron desired an heir
of pure blood and married his sister. When the baron learned she was
infertile he began performing hellish experiments on the peasants in
order to find a way to cure his wife's infertility. He succeeded, but
after finding the bodies of his victims, the peasants rose up and burned
the castle down. The baron's pregnant sister was captured by the
peasants. The baby was then cut from her womb before she was burned.
Although they tossed the baby into the local aquifer, it somehow
survived.
Lockhart investigates his suspicions and discovers the transfusion
wing of the spa is a front for macabre medical experiments. Eels, whose
lives can be vastly extended by the properties in the aquifer's water
that is toxic to humans, are used. The doctor filters the eels through
the bodies of patients at the retreat, to produce the "cure", which
Volmer, Hannah and others are ingesting. Lockhart is captured by Volmer,
who is actually the centuries-old baron, surviving off the cure, and
Lockhart is subjected to nightmarish treatments that warp his mind like
Pembroke, but Hannah sees that he's been changed, and gives him back the
ballerina his mother gave him, which breaks him out of his delirium.
Around this time, Hannah has her first menstrual cycle and Volmer
celebrates with an elaborate ball. He leads Hannah to a secret room,
built in the ruins of the castle, and prepares to rape her. Lockhart
confronts Volmer and realizes that Hannah is Volmer's daughter, that was
thrown in the well, who is aging very slowly from the cure. During the
ensuing fight, Volmer's face is revealed to be a mask that hides hideous
burns. Lockhart sets Volmer and the castle on fire, but is overpowered.
Hannah saves him by killing Volmer, driving the edge of a shovel into
his head. He then falls into a pool of the spa water, and is eaten by
the eels.
Lockhart and Hannah escape from the spa on a bicycle as fire engulfs
the structure. On the road, Lockhart crashes into a car carrying his
employers, who have arrived from New York to retrieve him and Pembroke.
Lockhart is ordered into the car by the employers, who hope he will
return to New York with them. Suspecting they plan to pin all corporate
wrongdoings on him, he instead chooses to ride away with Hannah, on a
bike, whilst grinning insanely.
