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.
随着电影推进，往事历历在目
5分 黑白配的感情戏让人一点感觉都没有，这老娘们50了，而且全片穿插太多了，还双线叙事，麻了，几个场景不是餐厅就是咖啡馆，办公室。更要命的是剧情，男主找内奸，找了半天原来自己是内奸，当年为了救女主。最后女主都嫁人是2个孩子的妈了，暴露身份也不给杀手下命令，不就是还爱着她么，可这爱情戏，我压根入不了戏啊导演编剧。
腔调挺棒的 也没那么多花里胡哨 但逻辑有问题啊 男主为什么还要安排人杀女主 当年为了就她都通敌了 然后最后也没动手 动机莫名其妙
两个人你不说我不言，以为用了最合适的方式守护了对方
相爱相杀的办公室爱情…宝刀未老是怎么翻译来的。看剧情，一点不宝刀，完全各种老。老刀早就锈死了。
“织布式”手法铺陈情节的悬疑片，故事主线是CIA搜寻内鬼，悬疑感强烈。一众大牌演员，演技精湛。编导手法高明，片子大量倒叙插叙而无丝毫凌乱，细腻，耐看。特工之间的感情戏份很动人。结局是孩子妈设套弄死了孩子爸，并在最后时刻获得了内情真相，心碎满地。被套惨了。在更广阔的背景故事中，同样被套中的“线人”疯狂反噬了无辜的上线、无辜的旅客和航班机组。始作俑者是谁？值得深思。另外，故事明显揭示了人的自我防卫，也有拐个弯又伤害自身的一面。好电影，并非“成人童话”式谍战动作片，特别推荐给心理年龄25岁以上的朋友观赏。
前半段有点闷，中后段很给力，相当好的剧本，有意思的摄影。克里斯派为什么老成这样，还能用璀璨的蓝眼睛蛊人！
超前观影。较多的拍摄人物的浅焦近景，布景和光线的色调随情感关系的变化由暖转冷。电影的剧本很棒，既有甜蜜幸福的恋爱时光也有真实得十分残酷的争吵和离开，两位主演的演技非常棒，很有说服力、让观众能迅速进入到或欢乐或悲伤或愤怒的情绪中去。
话痨电影，节奏超级慢。为啥现在想看一部对胃口的电影这么难！
看起来像一群过气的老影星凑一起拍个片，挣点生活费，剧情东拼西凑，1星吧，以资鼓励。
CIA的所谓天才特工要都这么好骗，我国大概能提前99年完成第二个百年百年奋斗目标。爱情这事儿是很上头，前提是你得有头。
好一个相爱相杀，所以说有句老话叫做打开天窗说亮话，误会太深了呀。最终还是女人狠嗬。
这评论区中上评都要写的这么隐晦么？情节回顾加反复穿插，这种缝补的手法蛮像《看不见的客人》，整体挺好的。
包装成间谍片的爱情片。
无聊的时候看了。怎么说呢。恋爱还是看别人谈有意思
啊！还宝刀未老呢！派恩怎么已经这么老了……😭😭😭但是captain 演技还是很在线的，老了依然很有魅力！剧情就忽略吧，实在太墨迹看得很累，女主选角完全不ok
你俩是真甜呐，你俩也是真作啊。拍的还是流于表面~~以自我为中心没有错；相反，万事以对方为中心会死的更惨。但前提是，两个“自我”的人，是完备的、成熟的、能自我解决绝大多数问题和遭遇的人，是能自己讨好自己、善待自己、独立且坚强的人。这样的两个人走到一起才是对的时间、对的人，才是相融洽的配型。话说回来，虽然很难很难，但…人的安全感，还是应该自给自足…
一刷看不大懂，激情戏倒是很... 激情。像是空难片却又意犹未尽～
派派为什么爱演这种中成本的动作烂片？最近这部和承包商梦回10年代啊。派，咱要不拍完龙与地下城堡就潜心演些文艺片吧，你看那xxx都…
Bang bang, she shot me down
