This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
看了预告觉得不错，结果没想象那么好看，预告诈骗，前奏长，叙事慢，高潮短，对话多，有很多段无聊，不恐怖
到最后才发现是伊桑霍克，惊了的那一瞬是全片唯一让我提神的时刻，所以帅哥迟暮的结局是喜剧片和恐怖片里的反派？
前期铺垫长，反派不够变态。中期主角让关押也没带入感。
在看了那么多烂片之后，终于有一部可以看看的恐怖片了。小孩子们记住了，大人们是不需要你们帮忙的，路上碰到怪人，离远点。真有困难，大人会让你去找大人来帮忙，而不是让你帮忙。
杀手是伊桑霍克啊。。。凶手没什么存在感，最后芬尼跑出来也没有那种如释重负的感觉
两座房子对面对有这个必要？起码也要让女孩带着那帮白痴警察跑个空嘛，是没经费了吗？
“你说，总有一天我得为自己而战。”
通灵兄妹，芬尼在五位被害者的黑色电话帮助下手刃犯人。
芬尼长大肯定是个帅哥
太顺遂了，男孩儿逃离的过程，即使是有通灵的能力。不过最后被朋友鼓励挥起拳头那段还蛮励志的。btw，坏蛋全程没露脸我都猜到是伊桑霍克了，鬼知道为什么
校园霸凌情节似乎存在意义不大，Max存在意义也不大，感觉是为了填满分钟而存在的情节 @ AMC Bay Terrace
小男孩好像Twin Peaks 里的Hank
说是恐怖片，更有点像儿童奇幻片，最后通过种种努力，孩子们团结起来打倒了坏人，有点像小丑回魂的感觉。
kids helping kids。但剧情设置太简陋，电话的来源、梦的来源、鬼魂的来源，这些统统都没说，全靠架空的设定盲目地推剧情。只有几处有jump scare，恐怖不算，只能算个惊悚片。反派形象塑造浅薄无力。
还是非常满意的😊，刚刚好的一部电影哈哈哈哈
hell no 伊桑霍克演了个毫无魅力的反派
#22#51智商在线不雷人的小帅哥勇斗变态掳童戴面具的老帅哥…三星，绝望感恐怖感不足，友谊感满满，打拳教学同步率400%了都
从想法到执行都平稳运作的电影 关于家庭暴力与校园暴力的寓言故事 将施暴者的恶剥离为一个单一的个体化身 恶的离去意味着家庭情感(父亲)与校园生活秩序的回归 也可以看成对于父亲暴力的去势 Ethan Hawke角色被多次暗示的背景故事也应证了这一点 杀害与埋葬的分离即是两种暴力带来的伤害 they were killed before they are dead 属于是完成度不错也有一定现实意义(虽略浅显)的当代恐怖片 这样的片自然不嫌多 另外拿pink floyd配乐是个不错的想法
风格和氛围塑造都很不错，可惜剧本太单薄。3星。
去年的电影今年突然热门，虽然有恐怖元素，但我认为应该列入惊悚片范畴而不是恐怖片。故事内容比较简单，熟悉美国电影的观众看到小镇应该都明白之后八成不是有连环凶杀案就是变态面具魔。“怪奇物语”、“小丑回魂”，随手举出一堆影视剧。这部电影能在旧题材里拍出新意，靠的是男孩被囚禁后和面具男斗智斗勇的沉稳和影片营造的紧张氛围。今天周末，喜欢这类题材的伙伴，不容错过。
