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].
old fashion, stereotype but still selling
故事虽然老套（属于看了开头就知道结局的事，期间还调侃了一下纽约客的“冷漠”文化）小朋友演技略尴尬 但不影响打动观众和治愈人心的力量 全片大红狗狗演技最好哈哈哈 看起来是Labrador合成 电影传递的价值观也很直接：“人们总是讨厌/唾弃与他们不同的人和事，但与众不同，不代表就能合理地被欺负或羞辱。” 很zz正确 但放在当下还是很能speak to the context 希望我们都能做一个尊重并善待“不同”的温柔的人
一个由两个失落的灵魂引发的故事，最终以一个大家庭结尾，没有大场面，只有温馨的故事，有时我们需要这种治愈阖家欢的电影
小学看过的故事，现在看依然被爱，信任，勇气感动。
不过推荐这部电影最重要的一点是——谁会对这么一个可爱的三米高大狗狗不动心呢？
实在是儿童电影，尽管狗狗特效很假，但还是好可爱
勉勉强强，如果是少女期Lindsay Lohan应该能演的再好一点
比较低幼，小朋友可能觉得有个红色的大狗狗很好玩，但我就觉得好恐怖。如果全是动画的话，感观会好很多，但三次元的话还是接受不了
狗狗改变人生？狗狗做的很假，很不真实，五毛钱特效狗狗，适合儿童看的片子
节奏稍显拖沓以至于结局全部用插画的形式讲述，比起帕丁顿熊，整个故事缺乏质感与细节，除了草坪追人就是救过一个邻居，到底为什么可以带来整个社区尤其是房东的变化这部分缺少过渡。用这样长的时间讲述的故事内容还是有点少了，整体而言还是一个老派的儿童故事。
年代感一般。传奇色彩很浓。电影的最大价值在于不用把背景放到民国或者泰国之类。但国产片最大悲哀是当下的背景不能有所谓负面的东西，就好像最近要在电视剧里写一个乞丐（还不出镜）都不被允许，是说“抹黑我们的城市”，原本是给乞丐送快餐反映正能量的，最后乞丐被换成是清洁工，真是讽刺。
修狗很可爱，但这故事都吸引不了我读小学的妹妹
昏昏欲睡，电视剧节奏，要人物没人物，要故事没故事，就只剩舞指还不错。
节奏轻快，叙事清晰，一部观赏性故事性俱佳的国产电影，就国产片而言堪称佳作。辛芷雷的对白有点出戏，但是人好看给补回来了。
噢，小区邻里之间也太友爱了吧，不过毕竟也是，谁能决绝一只巨大的拉布拉多小可爱呢hhh。电影主题很不错非常适合儿童观看，就是那个亚洲小男孩的造型还是带点外国人对亚洲人的刻板印象以外，其他都还好
如果小说就是这样的结局，我觉得也很一般。你在真的上面弄个包装，让它看起来假，就不是把真的送给日本人了？？这叫什么逻辑？
巨大的修狗勾谁不喜欢呢，这种童话故事虽然俗套但还是深得我心，简单又治愈
关于爱与勇气的童话，有笑料很温暖，竟然被感动了，大红狗很可爱，特效对于童话来说已经足够了。

劇情雖然薄弱，但是表現出對動物的尊重熱愛就很值得傳播這樣的觀念和態度。
