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].
虽然一开始就猜到了是温迪狗 但氛围的营造很成功 还是带出了悬疑感
氛围做足，悬念铺够，怪物设计有继承但仍不赖(虽比不上《黑森灵》的惊艳)而剧本就实在太薄弱
女主放着受重伤弟弟不管非要去找怪物单挑 竟然还把怪物杀了 这就……
警长最后也变成了食人魔?
虽然摄影调度都是喜欢的风格，始终如一的冷冽寂静，但是本子改得有点一言难尽，给女主额外加的戏基本上都得扣分，更不用说最期待的怪物设定了。很可能有续集，但愿可以从民俗的角度多展开一下吧。
差一口气，以神话传说出发，想要融合家暴元素，但是最后只给出来拼凑。不过全片氛围感极好！破败城市，枯枝树林，迷雾小镇，在镜头里充满了诡谲迷人的味道。其实最后怪兽像面具一样那个特写还挺有震撼力。
前期铺垫很长，怪物出现的方式模范异形，偷袭加吓唬观众，到了大决战就是站桩式处决。。。怪物就是个弱鸡
导演是宫崎英高的粉丝么？？
没有预算的特效，没有逻辑的剧情，没有脑子的主角。导演你是有多穷啊，找个美国的农村地级市，和几个老农民就拍了。怪物累积出场时间3分钟不到。没预算就拍点乡村爱情吧。恐怖片不适合你

画面黑的跟凯文科斯特纳的新女儿一样…一个传说级别的魔灵被小学老师敲打五下致死 投资黑森灵2不比这赚钱吗
好久没看过这么高级的怪兽片了，氛围营造一流，才5.3分？
其实这部剧的剧情很好，但就是亮点不多，可惜
【C+】质感类似于《黑森灵》，但是其内容却十分匮乏。没有内涵的故事，没有深意的对话，也没有推进的动力，只有空洞的摄影和「惊鸿一瞥」的怪物设计还可圈可点，如果放在分段式恐怖片中的话应该还是很不错的。
20211213周一 22:19 这是否在隐喻地球的生态环境和生物物种遭人类大肆破坏，大自然比作恶灵来报复饥饿不堪的人类自食恶果呢！冷潮阴暗的破败小镇总是有着无所适从的问题家庭，但他们兄弟姐妹的感情却是紧密的，你忍心杀了你心爱的东西吗！
从未像这样期待一部电影，从预告片上映，到啃英文原版中篇，然后到看强迫自己看恐怖片练胆，再到不停寻找资源。今天终于看完了，我只能说真的没有失望。作为一部恐怖片，摄影与气氛的营造做得很好，最后的彩蛋(?)也很增色。豆瓣评分是别人的事情，雨我无瓜。
节奏缓慢，高潮垮掉，结局女人一人干翻怪物让人无语=_=
今年的恐怖片都是雷声大雨点小，又一部失望之作…
影片的基调和画面我还是很欣赏的，有种美国偏远山区小镇的阴冷肃杀风，但剧情就乏善可陈了
什么都想说，搞到又臭又长。
