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.
女性版的《飞越疯人院》。有超现实元素，却绝不滥用。戏剧性稍弱，但内核温暖而细腻。Mélanie Laurent确实是老了，甚至连Lou de Laâge也看得到岁月的痕迹了。但那种内在的知性力量，才是她们真正的光芒所在啊～
第一个反转力道很足，意想不到，我以为女主会跟他没羞没臊的快乐生活下去，是我低俗了。到第二个反转的时候就有些画蛇添足了，本可以在此就戛然而止的，留给观众的空间会大一些。这样直接把答案抛出来了，就没有探讨的滋味了。
梅兰尼罗兰做为一位曾经年轻貌美的演员，执导出如此一部电影也太过牛逼了吧！没看过原著，但感觉电影的年代感和文学性好强，服化道也是一流的。到底谁才是真正的疯子？在那个疯子和社会精英共处一室的舞会上，衣冠楚楚的绅士们露出了张牙舞爪的一面，更加狰狞丑态百出，变态扭曲的社会，真正的疯子反而制定了社会的话语权，而柔弱的女人只能被压迫被管理，在疯人院，不疯的人也活活被逼疯。结尾很传统但也很治愈，就算肉体被禁锢，只要灵魂是自由的只要有信念在，前方总有希望。大海边的女人和在疯人院椅凳此时合为了一体。
那瓶红酒万一没喝呢？男友那晚万一没回家呢？或者回家万一没有喝饮料呢？
最后还设局把
偷窥能拍出新意真是件不容易的事情，简单就是偷窥大战呀，男友死得也太冤了！
结尾部分的twists也太unreal了。。ps：美好的肉体 pippa+seb ：）
想表达的也已经点到，就是给世人一个警示。
2021年了，讲的是上世纪的惨事，以为能有什么新意，却还是没能超越时代。护士长说她自由了，所以不跟女主一起逃，我真的惊掉下巴。请问她哪里自由了呢？精神上？还是身体上？导演哪里来的自信让护士长自觉自愿被囚禁呀？还有医院里所有的女人，都没有被解放。双女主的暧昧，闹着玩似的。整个电影都浮于表面，你拍不出来反抗就别拍了，一女导演，拍qj镜头倒是挺带劲儿的，真无语哈。
还真有点《后窗》、《偷窥狂》的感觉，讨论不道德的窥探与反凝视，捕猎者和猎物身份的转换与并存，这种深度的内核挖掘在当代惊悚片中非常惊喜，皮帕为了吸到黄金乌干达害死男朋友，茱莉亚不惜拿男朋友的肉体勾引目标，俩狠女人。bug是黑人男友上吊自杀还是被人吊死警察不会判断不出来吧，摄影师两口子瞎了眼居然不想尽一切办法报复女主吗?本哈迪的肉体我的妈呀是我我也沦陷啊
片是好片，但为什么会有脑残在影评标题里就剧透全部剧情
掀开黑暗章节的沉重一页，被压迫、伤害、监视与利用；“疯女人”不是结束，是“塞勒姆”之后的上演，更或许为“得州心跳”的前续，所以这是个跨越数个世代并始终回荡着声量的故事。Mélanie Laurent在改编时做到了这一点，也始终去聚焦作品的特殊性。印象深刻的还包括病院以及监禁的生活片段中，丝毫不讳于对“抓狂”的尺度呈现，以及观感上的挑战；但这之外，它同样去关注难得的女性情谊与绝境下的相守。力量与温柔并存，有着难得的气质。
这反转把我给转晕了，女主那一脱，让我想起了《权游》里龙妈的第一脱。
你以为在窥视别人的隐私，其实自己才是猎物，片子香艳且满足观众的偷窥欲，最后的反转加复仇有点意思。女配刘承羽长的真精致。
如果你不是在乎我的外表
女主身材是真的顶，人是真的“坏”。
本哈迪身材是不错，脸真娘炮，女主这胸，有一说一，绝了~
6.5/10，其实结局停留在摄影展就够了，最后强行反转反而落入了俗套。
很喜欢女主的床戏，肯定不是真的，表演真的好看
可能最近心情不太好吧，看到结尾竟然看哭了，是女性才能拍出的电影了，这么多的苦难……
