Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
非常惊喜的国产恐怖片 几乎没什么槽点 在审核如此严格的情况下拍成这样非常不容易了 貌似鬼片 其实更是讲人性 人比鬼可怕
从血腥中寻找欲望，从情爱中抵消苦痛。柯南伯格用奇诡解锁现实的荒唐，越是看似虚无缥缈，越是本就存在于这世间。整部影片不仅是对人性的探索，更升华至全人类对环境保护态度的拷问。维果·莫腾森与蕾雅·赛杜的表演尤为出色。
质感不错，故事的讲述方式以及结局都挺有意思，比大部分院线电影要精彩
可惜了，只有心怀鬼胎的人，没有惩恶扬善的妖
很久没看过把自wei感诠释得这么抽象又恰如其分的影片了：都知道纸面意义上的自wei是啥，但一旦实施起来，对撸和射的时机反复徘徊斟酌把握还是让人沉醉其中欲罢不能，甚至连过后的虚空衰弱颓唐也惟妙惟肖。男主一副死神的打扮更是给了身体快感一种濒死极致体验。那个吃饭机械椅是绝妙的征象，对于在眼前无规则晃动却无法及时吃到的食物产生了一种高潮预期式的强烈贫瘠渴望。看片过程中意识到此前一直困惑的柯洛南伯格和大卫林奇之间的区别：前者是由一个空泛又众所周知的概念出发，去反复盲求细致入微的感官感受，如女主所言：creating the meaning out of emptiness；后者则是以最微妙的心理感受为动机，将其放大成宏观的精神分析宇宙。看介绍说剧本二十年前写就，其实和《欲望号快车》也有异曲同工之妙。
如果你期望看到恶心、变态的奇行种，那你要失望了。这部电影非但不重口，跟真正重口的B级片比起来反倒有点小清新。
4.5 估计很多人会以为是各种奇情重口味的刺激类型片，结果看到的是绝对概念化、点缀着冷幽默、讨论着艺术创作和资本垄断的话唠寓言，以固定空间内的对话戏为主，两三段“性爱”和“表演”作为穿插，其实更多是《大都会》的精神续作，Body Horror的回归更像是类型元素的障眼法。维果影帝考虑下，回想起来是蕾雅赛杜那场“表演”独白戏印象最深。
我尽力了，隐喻也许也看懂了，只是无法找到共鸣点。
3+1.电影最后从小女孩的特写转到“美好结局”这一段，个人感觉很巧妙。
难得的国产恐怖片能讲一个完整的故事，果然国内还是不缺好编剧，就是资本不想投入，剧组不良心导致每年挂着恐怖片名号卖狗肉的电影那么多
放在任何现实主义电影里都会滑稽可笑的形而上讨论包上了身体恐怖的外衣就值得被理论化了吗？在撞车中可以一言不发就把情欲完全从插入式性交中抽离，直接和暴力本身进行连接，就连车甚至撞车都只是一个媒介。而到了未来罪行，俨然一副不用嘴硬不起来的潦倒样子，居然要口口声声说起手术如性爱，新性爱旧性爱这些可悲的自诉。唧唧歪歪大半天，还不如自己前作的一个远景。
剧情本身可以给三颗星。但是男女主，特别是女主，那个整容脸，那种超级大双眼皮，真是太让人出戏了。
兴安岭猎人的编剧，有点东西。。故事的最后希望只是个故事吧。
剧本不错，成本限制完成度受限。总体来说是网大最高水平（超越所有国产院线恐怖片）
不能有鬼的规定真的很限制恐怖片的发挥…… 精彩的都在预告片了
看的不是很懂，但对于柯南伯格我又不会对其否认，所以这类让我纠结的电影就不打分了。高概念艺术化和象征化的电影，看完很费劲，想探索其深层的政治、哲学也很费解，因此不做过多评价
在网大里算不错的了，不过最后撑船的，是随时都绑着炸药吗？太搞笑了点
崔走召的本子。很明显这是个讲人性的故事，但是讲的太刻意，慢镜头和特写有点无聊，群戏台词写的也乏味，结尾有《功夫》结尾那味了
导演在目前审查制度下，用鬼神故事来在现人世间的恶。
片子拍得灵异有余，恐怖全无。中间硬凑的不合理也很明显，最后的喜乐镜头看着真违和。但对于国内电影来说，算是还不错的
