American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
真没那么差啊，我觉得还不错，能给个三星半其实
其实4/1晚上就看了，那天浦西封控第一天……这个电影对于我们莫名应景，虽然傻乎乎的，但真的符合我当下的心境……
算得上史上最不恐怖的恐怖片之一了，看完甚至觉得有点幼稚
结束也太快了这
20211213周一 22:19 这是否在隐喻地球的生态环境和生物物种遭人类大肆破坏，大自然比作恶灵来报复饥饿不堪的人类自食恶果呢！冷潮阴暗的破败小镇总是有着无所适从的问题家庭，但他们兄弟姐妹的感情却是紧密的，你忍心杀了你心爱的东西吗！
索然无味。信息释出过分保守，能看出来明显的追求强试听的野心，但最终决战过于儿戏，以及关键的异变设计过于平庸使得一切都是那么格格不入。最近怎么老看到低配马达的戏，搞得他一露脸我就觉得“那是个变态”或者“那是个loser”，结果啥都不是啊喂
毒贩父亲恶魔附体也还知道护崽，虎毒不食子呀。副警长突然背后被杀还真吓了俺一大跳……
[1]可惜这个故事“前不着村，后不着店”。
怪物还是体现的太少，女主后面和温迪戈对打感觉玩血源一样
看睡了。看起来很努力，实则被A24系吊打。
鹿的形象有点克，剧情挺俗的。影评第一个说什么反抗父权的实属没太大必要。索然无味的烂片不值得讨论起背后的意义
剧情确实太套路和降智了 影评里有一段解读蛮有意思 女主和她哥哥结局的象征意义 一个是压抑下反抗父权 另一个是最终继承父权
美国恐怖片热衷于诡异的怪物特效和茹毛饮血的恐怖元素，难以理解，看到那种10年前的特效真的很难害怕
潮湿、冷清的小镇氛围营造的很好，剧情很差，且极端反智，例如弟弟受伤，孩子去矿坑了，正常人一定是送弟弟去医院或原地叫救护车，同时请求增援，女主竟然带着弟弟一个人去矿坑了，不怕弟弟失血过多丢命？不怕自己遭遇不测？极其反智！
什么都想说，搞到又臭又长。
为了恐怖而恐怖，剧情分了几个点，但怎么也连不起来。
没有太多惊喜，只是一个面对父权压迫而觉醒反抗的圣母故事。
可以是关于毒品隐喻的黑暗寓言故事，也可以是父权暴力下的选择与继承，还可以再展开一些讲，做个迷你剧什么的可能更好一些。惊艳的是关于怪物的设计，披着被捕食者的人皮面孔，看到的一瞬间哇喔。
在豆瓣要本着三星恐怖片要多加一星的原则。。
有些一般了，恐怖氛围也一般，不过怪物造型还不错
