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].
食之无味弃之可惜。近些年国产犯罪悬疑片的观感怎么都如同剧本杀的剧本配上密室逃脱的布景一般？全程配音也令人难受。可惜了这么好的摄影。
一开场，89式警服的警衔有点低了，不严谨
怎么说呢，感觉导演编剧摄影都很努力，但就是花了两个小时讲了一个毫无悬念的故事。
悬疑推理情节弱了点，文艺气息拉满，算很不错的国产片了。画面真美
我是真的被名字和摄影的感觉带进来了的，但进来之后一直很迷茫，交代了个啥玩意啊，对自己那么好的姐姐死了，啥事没有穿上服装去跳舞，扯蛋
照相馆摄影师是连环杀手，可是他又被谁杀死了？警方画师牵出17年前的命案，原来被害者并没有死。。。
作为悬疑片，故事的结构递进太薄弱了，每个伏笔在放置时就已经暴露，等待它何时被揭开只会觉得漫长。演员们的表演也还不足以撑起故事，于是浓密且轰隆的环境音和配乐席卷着精致的画面，促成了一股拼命去塑造氛围感的态势。片名的借用就不吐槽了。
2022 No.188 / nd / nd Last：目中无人
陈默：低配周铁
画面感五分，剧情两分。想告诉导演，别管想走文艺路线还是什么，最基本的是要把一个故事先讲好。
太细腻了 太喜欢了 满星
2022年最优秀的国产悬疑片之一，具有文艺色彩，结局反转，《芳华》+《杀人回忆》
配乐能不能死呀，什么垃圾配乐才能配成这样，悬疑气氛就正常没啥说的，俩人夕阳西下跳舞那段，那激情澎湃的音乐是闹哪样，真让人很出戏，回了这个片子整体氛围，剧情本身就算俗套了，全靠美术摄影垫着，你一记低端配乐，直接毁了
2021年的第三十九部。调色阴暗，悲伤，故事半中间已经猜中了结尾，可还是想继续看下去，但是警察真的连死的是谁都没有弄清楚吗？貌似八十年代还没有利用dna确认死者身份和嫌疑人身份的技术引用到侦查破案吧！结尾说的甘肃连环杀人案是不是就是白银的案子呢？
剧本挺好的，但漏洞太多，悬疑感也不足，而且剧情也太拖沓了，看到后面有点昏昏欲睡了。不过作为半个新人导演，拍成这样也不错了，至少摄影和音乐还是挺不错的，继续加油吧！
除了进度缓慢的拖沓感觉其他的都不错，悬疑探案还是要有吸引人的地方。
沈队：低配郭晓冬
就这么一个简单的故事，叨逼叨叨逼叨的故弄玄虚了两小时，也是够累人的，漏洞还多到不可细数……
首先这肯定是一部诚意满满的佳作。但是有几个疑问，照相馆老板非要杀掉离开淮川的人，仅仅是心理变态还是有所寓意。片子情节选在特定年代，但时代性却略显不足，似乎放在现在也说得通。
