The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
其實片子普通，但所有的影像、元素都因為時間的遷移而升級了。
看着象五十多岁的都大妈，
4K修復版 世界首映。
只要女性还负责生育，就无法获得真正的平等吧
看完过了一天还是不舒服 非常感同身受的不喜欢主角的刻薄
4.8两个无所事事的少年会做什么呢，会滑入社会的深渊，会错把枪支当作保护自己的武器，会用最原始最野蛮的方式对待这个世界。戏里很精彩了，没想到戏外远比戏里精彩。高捷真的很像道上那种摆事的大哥。
玛吉·吉伦哈尔演蝙蝠侠最爱的女人时，我吐槽过几次导演视力有问题，给蝙蝠侠安排这么个女神。不料玛吉·吉伦哈尔的导演处女作如此惊人，开篇20分钟左右就牢牢控制住了气场，才华让她魅力四射——无关长相。//翻译成《迷失的女儿》恐怕是最贴切的。《暗处的女儿》这叫法都离题了。//影片中艾德·哈里斯说：leonard cohen以前经常来这里，跟我们一起写歌。突然， 我简直，裂了。
果壳发过一篇文章《后悔成为母亲，但我不敢说出口》，很深刻。跟这部片子大概是一个意思……
压轴上线，2021最后一部，果然埃琳娜费兰特，妮娜≈莉拉，玛吉吉伦哈尔导演手法可，我真太喜欢杰西巴克利了
费兰特小说改的呀。好看，但是看着让人想撞墙。
表演上应该是今年五个提名里难度最高的一个角色 Colman恐怖的技术又再拔高了演绎难度 把一个不太讨人喜欢活在过去阴影里的高知女性演得很出彩 Maggie的编剧和执导看不出是第一次 平静尖锐 转场老练 主题上感觉对女性困境的描述不是主要的 而是作为一个女性 可以跳脱出妻子母亲的传统身份 作出不负责任而忠于自我的决定 即便是错的 但是能自主选择的就是好的
Pub里的林强和罗大佑，皇后大道东，少年非道天涯路，关于台南黑帮的命题，作为编剧的侯孝贤和陈国富随后延伸出各自的《再见南国》和《只要为你活一天》，电影很文艺，都不像徐小明拍的。
少年带着无知无畏的勇气闯进了这个混乱的社会，他们自信满满以为能出人头地，最后被干的遍体鳞伤。
少年不要太冲动，在外地没有亲戚保护的情况下，还不知天高地厚，结果出事了。
#启明会观影节#6/10。前面可以，后面就泄了。主要还是因为导演水平不行，太愚蠢了！逮着匹配剪辑用起来没完不说，还拍那么多暧昧不清的镜头，要做甚？
点了十多个三星评论来看都是♂(陈述事实) 导演快拍爱丽丝门罗！
4.6 2010.06.04 中國電影資料館，話說此場高捷真身也在。
两天过去了。如果冷静的剪一星我觉得就缺在母女关系上，毕竟我也是抱着这个期待去看的。当然有预设不是好事，剧本拿了柏林也算是对Maggie的一种认可。Olivia Colman和Jessie真的功不可没，演得太好了。很多人都觉得Maggie的把控飞了，但是我看的到她的努力。她已经做得很好了，为她骄傲。我身边有一个女朋友就是不怎么喜欢自己孩子的“后悔的母亲”。在此之前我不太相信有这样的存在。可是电影里的三个妈妈的每一个反应每一个情绪我都无比清楚。至于说是只拍给母亲看的电影的人，浅薄到令人不可置信。那你为啥去看科幻呢？你又不是科学家。
20220201le。氛围营造的非常好，以为会有什么剧烈的冲突发生，最终有点虎头蛇尾之感。
头重脚轻 科尔曼将中年女性面临的焦虑与矛盾演绎的淋漓尽致 达科塔全程陷入五十度灰模式
