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.
节奏太慢，也不知道为了表达啥，看不明白😓
3.5星，剧情整体单薄，但胜在细节氛围，把握的窒息感十足。熬夜看完了，还算不错
#Sundance2022 找那罪受 不如来加州种田
作为女性，看完这个电影深有感触，那种好像有人在跟踪偷窥的感觉太到位了，而工具人老公那里果然无法获得什么真正的帮助和认同，最后还是要靠自己。
看到开头说会保护你就知道这丈夫多半没啥用处了……
一定要找到那个肯无条件信任你的人
凭什么女人就要生活在未知的恐惧与危险里，为什么要害怕，为什么变得神经质，为什么渴望和需要一个强硬的男性角色的保护。因为这个shitty世界总存在恶心的阴暗的目光盯住她们。不想针对男性，而是希望这种恶心的人类赶紧灭绝。
女主角很耐看，演技也还行。片尾反杀很带感，看着很爽
无法共情的只能嫉妒你们好幸运。
剧本太单薄，同类型的题材拍的不少了，没啥惊喜的剧情，缓缓的推进，然后戛然而止，最后那一下反杀有点想不通，坏人演得挺好的，女主漂亮
运用镜头和色彩很有效的外化出了女性感受到世界，情节略cliche但stupid office joke’那个情节是真的有powerful到。以及，结尾我爱！
不要嫁到人生地不熟不讲英语的罗马尼亚就对了！
略微多冗长了些 看不下去的即视感扑面而来 类型化严重
剧情比较老套，比较拖沓，好在摄影和惊悚效果还不错，悬念还是有的，不至于看不下去，突出了女权主义，充分利用大场景形成了一种空洞感，跟影片主题蛮贴合的，女主神经病气息在大场景下的确是孤身一人，寻求不到任何的帮助，作死的成分也是很突出的，渣男当你是妄想症，你把自己当作神经病，别人把你当做笑话，凶手才把你当人看，其实每个人都是神经病，只是方式方法不同而已。
坏蛋也太像坏蛋了，以及害怕的通常都是真实存在的，这个恶人本身带来的恐惧感远远不及所有人对她说的话嗤之以鼻的态度。
不痛不痒 剧情平平 也没有能抓住眼球的地方
结尾到男主与杀人犯各自离开房间后在走廊四目相对那刻就可以结束了。
7分左右吧，唐山事件之后看这部片子会有全新的看法，这不是简简单单的一部恐怖片，我觉得相比于恐怖，本片更专注于女性在日常生活中的不安感，尤其是像女主这种处在人生地不熟，连语言沟通都难的情况，而外人尤其是男性与旧思想老人对女主的遭遇都很容易觉得女主想太多，唯有同为年轻女性才会共情。
虽然确实被监视，但女主看起来也不太正常的感觉，没啥演技
2.男主不是《爱恋》男主么，演技真的浮夸。
