Super Bowl Sunday is mostly known for the intensity that happens on the field between the two opposing teams, but for the TV and film-lovers out there, the teaser trailers and sneak peaks shown during commercial breaks are just as exciting — if not more. This year, A Cure for Wellness was among the long list of spots featured, and the eerie trailer got a ton of people talking.

20th Century Fox rolled out the newest trailer for the upcoming psychological horror/thriller flick, one that features a nice dollop of new footage. The Gore Verbinski-directed film stars Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Kill Your Darlings) as a driven (and kind of naive) young executive on a mission to bring his boss back from a "wellness center" in the Swiss Alps, and is set for release on February 17, 2017. Included in the trailer are additional looks at DeHaan's cerebral Mr. Lockhart; shots of the mysterious and ominous Swiss center at which his company's CEO has been residing, with particular focus on its residents and the starkness of its landscapes; and the slow degradation of Mr. Lockhart's mind as he unravels the center's secrets — and his own sanity.

With the film's release just a few weeks away, this latest look seems the perfect thing to get filmgoers buzzing once again. Devoted movie junkies will be further excited by A Cure for Wellness, as it marks Gore Verbinski's first directorial effort in four years and his return to the spooky genre after a 15-year-long absence. Something tells us A Cure for Wellness will shape up to be one of the greatest horror movies of 2017.
