Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
3.5吧… 可以说全剧还是比较高能，北欧风格果然清奇，虽然看到怪物会进化一早猜到会变成小女主。但小姑娘的演绎几乎完美，剧情也有不少的小高潮~ 但鸟人从哪里来，为何会进化没有交代，有点疑惑。家里出现血腥，床单脏成那样家人愣是没人发现么？！ 个人喜好…最后安排小女主被母亲刺死不是很喜欢，明明也可以有其他更好的安排。唉~
以惊悚童话的方式隐喻了失败的家庭教育对孩子人格的畸形
细细品味，说尽了身在江湖的无奈，不是杀死不想杀死的人，就要被不想杀死自己的人杀死，所以要么坠入地狱，要么跃上王座，面对孤独和众叛亲离，也只能执意而行。权谋、利益、恩情、仇杀……黑帮江湖的所有都能在这里找到，热血江湖，一触即发
再次，怪鸟宝宝的样子又萌又可爱，那双大眼睛像《指环王》中的咕噜姆。很恶心的就是怪鸟宝宝只吃女主的呕吐物，为了喂养怪物，女主每次都要呕吐。还有，怪物开始不断趋同女主，顺从女主的黑暗心理开始为非作歹，直到完全取代女主。
做混混，没做到最大的那个之前，永远都是别人利用的工具
看到男主给濒死的医生女友做转化的时候，我内心：他们不会相信这样真能转化吧？！传说中的吸血鬼转化这事在电影这个设定也成立的吗？
看得一头雾水，应该不是我一个人觉得逻辑混乱。
男主一直是个狠角儿 只是有太多羁绊驱使他有所坚信 直到恋人离去 继子被害 老大昏迷 朋友为达目的接连设计 身无一物孑然一身 逆风翻盘 就是翻得有点牵强 最后海边回忆痛苦的人生。 最底层人却住那么高 真是有点难为情。
勇敢地迎接逆境，即使不能实现最初的梦想，也会打开另一扇梦想的大门。
最后一幕疯批美人即视感。
节奏不快不慢，剧情简单，整体还是值得一看的小语种电影。
1、和新世界比起来还是差着不少；2、条线太多太乱反而拍不出感觉；3、崔泽爸爸居然是这么个狠角色。6分。
女孩的眼睛真美，但是就是现在的恐怖片都没法超出人的想象了吗？又是一个能猜到情节走向和结局的电影
莱托怎么DC漫威都混这么差，长得帅也不顶用啊。有没有一种可能我们想看莱托演吸血鬼不是演这种。
当他什么都想守护的时候，反而什么都失去了，儿子，爱人！当他变成混蛋的时候，他赢了！
所以只有杀了大哥，你才能成为大哥。而现在，只能等领导退休，你才能当上领导
你先？
“一老凯(这么多)”黄金配角老戏骨们，生计所迫接了这破剧本，韩国电影药丸。整体就是老千/新世界/恶人传/与犯罪的战争/黄海的演员们打乱重组，结果演了一部《灰太狼》。
6.5 一般般，就是感觉差了点什么。压和爆都不够。
就是想讲畸形家庭吗，讲的挺没劲，结局不提气啊，也没看出来评论里的反抗意味，而且怎么女孩教育又是完全变成了母亲的责任一样，父亲隐身了？我还以为这导演中国人呢，芬兰也这样？
