American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
挺不错的。没想到是happy ending。Someone lost in a baseball game but won in life
本片更接近披着恐怖惊悚片外衣的变种爽片，因为事实上借助各种灵异设定脱困本质上是一路超车且犯规的，不过气氛和紧张感处理的确实好，可剧情硬伤和问题也颇多特别是插入个哥哥又是侦探狂热迷又是眼皮子底下杀人这种nt情节完全多余，但以恐怖惊悚片角度来说综合算是这几年的优质作品
竟然是我近期看的最佳影片，节奏好，情节不套路，紧张感来自于男孩视角和未知的电话，情节和细节都能围绕电话展开，还可以通过交流脑补情节。交叉剪辑营造的紧张感让我想起了久违的经典惊悚片。很推荐！
4 for a good time. 妹妹超feisty好喜欢！！几个jump scare场里都有人尖叫，到最后几分钟高潮放映机直接烧了，一屋子人在带音效的黑屏里闹腾真的best experience ever lol. 电话里听到robin的声音我都快哭了（没有）。父亲和绑匪的鞭子应该是呼应吧，但是在这个层面没啥别的探讨。就是很伤心男神从此变boogeyman了lol。
这男孩到底是精明还是蠢啊,跑出来了明知道后面有车追正常人不是应该忘旁边跑吗,他还一直在车前跑,无语
主要是jump scare，除此之外不是很恐怖，结局还挺燃的，但是也因此不现实。剧情太聚焦于男主逃脱了，对其他方面刻画不足，比如说作案者的动机，表现他含泪深情凝视的那个情节也没有具体解释。根本没看不出来演罪犯的是伊桑霍克…
1. 既然发现黑色气球，能否顺藤摸瓜，寻找近期大量购买黑色气球的人或者与气球相关的职业？不至于让这条线索废掉。2. 死去的孩子们既然怨念强到可以控制酒瓶高速旋转起飞的POWER，能不能趁面具男进屋，一瓶子干晕他，让男主逃走？3. 反派被男主割伤，为何不检查他身上带了什么？4. 妹妹被父亲抽皮带时的哭戏是真好！但总觉得即便她最终没报警，男主也能自己逃出来，等于妹妹通灵线也没啥用。5. 伊桑霍克接这个戏，只能理解为助力低成本小片？他的马戏团魔术师身份没啥用啊？或者是他自己编造的？总觉得他抓孩子时穿的红黑套装更兼具变态和优雅感，可惜后来再也不穿，他脸好好的，为啥面具被摘就痛不欲生？6. 《奇异博士》导演拍这个戏为了啥呢？是被漫威开除，没戏接了？还是弥补自己的童年阴影？
本质上还是在讲青少年成长，元素（雨天、黄雨衣、红靴子、气球）和内核都在致敬《小丑回魂》；小女孩梦境那条线有些鸡肋，对情节发展没起到太大推动作用；配乐加分，小男孩逃脱部分用了Pink Floyd的《on the run》，循序渐进的旋律和紧凑的鼓点把焦躁、惊恐、紧张的氛围烘托出来了～
2.没有自己的灵魂!!!!!
[视]微血，导演<奇异博士><险恶><地球停转之日>，巴德尔出演。小孩绑架案，大量<怪奇物语S1>元素，复古小学，家暴校凌，梦境失踪，时空交流，座机静电，返校之姿。单车，雨衣，斧子，遗传，拆分面具，别墅玩具，小女孩发型像穆斯林，混血亚裔，黑人警探，没有双重人格，没凑成三概念，结尾一般。前三拳闪避反击打挺好，诱饵引犬，游戏感强烈
3.5 男主和妹妹演得很棒，大人警察都不行，小孩团结勇敢求生途…
3星半，伊桑霍克怎么接了这么一个角色？最后10分钟很精彩。
演父亲这位演技捉急啊 简直被俩小孩吊着打、、伊桑霍克全程没有漏过脸= =
某一天要为自己挺身而出，那一天就是今天。这应该讲述一个男孩的突破与成长的故事。对复古怀旧的应用有怪奇物语的味道。缺点挺明显完全不恐怖，应该增加恐怖元素，反派无魅力，纯变态，很多超自然的现象都没有解释，可能只是男孩的心理挣扎。
查了下居然是<险恶>的编剧，难怪观影途中脑海浮现出有这电影的味道了/这个剧本感觉打磨打磨的话可以更有趣些，现在有点平淡了。友情那里有点感动，自己已经遇害了所以希望朋友可以逃出生天。“总有一天你要为自己而战”。黄雨衣梦回<小丑回魂>。很喜欢这种儿童为主角的悬疑电影，最后希望每个变态都落得掳童犯的下场。
嗯啊，很金氏，让我觉得自己仿佛又看了一遍小丑回魂类型的片子。。
7.5/10 感谢环球的免费试映。俨然是Anti- bully film
被囚男孩的怪奇物语与绝地反杀，一名粗口萝莉和半打逃命少年“血灵灵”的终极将军局。经过几个回合的读档求生后，终于正面单挑魔王，猛推一针肾上腺素来收尾，结局大快人心。还是挺解压挺爽的，有消遣到。
cool boy！~ 斗智斗勇逃出来就好~
我觉得编剧不太行，想塞进去或者说想表达的太多了，搞得反而让我越看越累，情节时断时续，连贯性就很差，而且有些闪回虽然不是莫名其妙但是总会让我觉得打岔，看得太累了，
