UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
太顺遂了，男孩儿逃离的过程，即使是有通灵的能力。不过最后被朋友鼓励挥起拳头那段还蛮励志的。btw，坏蛋全程没露脸我都猜到是伊桑霍克了，鬼知道为什么
很棒的结构和剧本！很新颖～尤其是每一种曾经失败的逃生策略都没有浪费！！最后芬尼自信的模样爽爆了
这片子看得我还挺揪心的，一直担心最后哥哥从屋里出来那块是变成鬼了。还好还好。兄妹俩都很棒！
Good child performances and very cathartic ending
前期铺垫长，反派不够变态。中期主角让关押也没带入感。
原著小说作者Joe Hill，怪不得有点斯蒂芬金的味道。而且有点《怪奇物语》的感觉，男主妹妹像怪奇里的max
很棒，虽然有超现实的因素，让整个故事变得不太真实。但这一点也是他的优点，让整个故事更流畅，紧凑，每个人的出现，每个人说的话，就像一片片拼图，到最后不多不少，每一部分都有用，看完整部电影，大概就是拼完一块巨型拼图，很爽，恐怖指数三颗星，悬疑指数五颗星，是个很爽的故事。
剧情老套路，但是各种包袱的串联很魔幻。电话、妹妹通灵、变态作案动机一个都没交代，最后告诉你这部剧的主题是未成年儿童之间的勇敢和义气……… 好吧，看在服道化年代感很甘草披萨的面子上就不细究了。重点在于男主这个小孩子，有点像伊桑霍克和乌玛瑟曼在另一个没离婚的时空中产生的爱的结晶，气质一会儿像女孩一会儿像男孩儿，神态一会儿像小孩一会儿像大人，太特别了…………谁看完这部电影不对男主产生好奇的算我输。另外，查看一下导演其他作品就会发现他的特长竟然就是通过恐怖片拍帅哥：美女…好吧x2，这也算独树一帜了orz
小时候缺爱长大了变态这很难脑补吗，干嘛非纠结反派单不单薄，看可爱小男孩机智勇敢反杀变态不爽吗。
凶手是伊森霍克演的，完全没看出来
2.5星。地下室的电话成为男孩通灵的媒介，他借此得到所有被害者的帮助，从而打败坏人。这是整部电影最大的噱头，但是这个噱头太平庸，无法让人提起兴趣，如果把这种手段小范围展示一下倒是还行，可偏要将之作为全片的重点来讲，不免太过简单了。
两座房子对面对有这个必要？起码也要让女孩带着那帮白痴警察跑个空嘛，是没经费了吗？
Good child performances and very cathartic ending
掳童犯到底为嘛绑小孩杀小孩，结尾也不说一下。剧情有些闪断，前面妹妹刚拿石头跟校霸打了一架还被踢了一脸血，后一镜头啥事没有。
2022-106 孩童视角的恐怖故事，梦回童年的《鸡皮疙瘩》。最后robin的告白真是哭死人了，不过电影还可以更厚重更丰盈。
杀手是伊桑霍克啊。。。凶手没什么存在感，最后芬尼跑出来也没有那种如释重负的感觉
要去影院看，视觉听觉气氛拉满。这几个孩子前途无量，看得我全程姨母笑加捂脸的恐怖。剪辑毫不拖沓，刚柔并进，加上这绝望小镇的设定，在今年目前的恐怖片里我是要5星推荐的。
还算可以的惊悚片，小男孩转头遇到报童那一幕确实吓我一跳，但是片子本身逻辑硬伤有点多，前因后果交代的不清楚，反派没有人格塑造，配角戏份也挺莫名其妙的，不过节奏倒是挺紧凑，紧张气氛也还可以，总体来说及格是肯定没问题了
… … 無聊 有一種原著小說應該比這要精彩的感覺 「腦袋裡能想像出情節文字化的閱讀體驗 然後放在影片視覺裡，頓時就寡淡了呢」
芬尼长大肯定是个帅哥
