The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
情节紧凑，人设清晰，动作流畅，看过就忘：成熟的动画电影。
所以为啥geralt秃了😂很西方文化的除魔，剧情偶尔小bug，打戏偶尔迷惑，但整体观影体验还算可以。
三星半//甚至有些两极的文化差异挤压出的女孩 不服管也不服输//当视角转向母亲 就好像《伯德小姐》里的那个问题“如果这已经是最好的我了呢”//从COVID-19回看SARS 被控制的恐慌几乎没有改变过
黑发黑胡子轻狂浪荡的师父情事.....网飞你怎么知道我好这口啊斯哈斯哈。没想到80分钟居然这么紧凑和精彩，没有一个多余的画面，剧情完整生动。狼派宗师维瑟米尔的造型太帅了简直长在我的性癖上。这是什么神仙爱情，青梅竹马，70岁依然俊美的猎魔人X强大温柔的老太太，这年龄操作绝了我好爱。动作戏非常之赞，又是物理又是魔法的。强烈推荐，太好看了。青草试炼那段就很岳父，唉，天天想岳父，泡绿池子的老爷爷我好爱
这味，对流~打斗炫酷
Everyone is hysterical.
剧情老套，战斗流畅，年轻的维瑟米尔帅的掉渣，和游戏里判若两人
“我只是觉得她可以做的更好“
当妈妈太苦了。没法再说更多了，太苦了。以及，女主不是不能好好说话，她是没有多余的力气说话了，要操心的事情太多了，家务、两个孩子的吃喝拉撒，还得照顾丈夫。没人真的懂得她辛苦的程度，而她也没有力气再说了。还好最后都和解了，不然真的太苦了。图什么啊。
很诧异拍出那么好的短片的导演，长片里体现的很多创作观念都与之前相悖，各种应该展开的都流于表面，细节、情绪都缺很准确的点，远不及期待。@2022-03-08
维瑟米尔老爷子年轻起就见过大场面。
带有鲜明西方玄幻的猎魔人，给人不一样的感觉，动作戏和魔法比较出彩，动画版听着英文怪别扭的，话说弓箭女的魔法门有些类似奇异博士的传送门
最感觸的是芳儀和同學說 我覺得媽媽可以做的更好。媽媽做的還不夠好嗎 化療 照顧家庭 甚至可以想像她一個人在美國獨自帶著兩個孩子的辛苦。不得不再次感嘆東亞家庭的成員關係 拒絕溝通拒絕表達 因為一點點柔軟就能和解 之後又默默承受。📍k11 art house
最后那句总会有新的怪物出现的杰洛特。我破防了
挺好看的动画，制作精良，设定还原的不错，有游戏的感觉，也有点接近原著那味儿。witcher原著迷人之处在于它很有逻辑有现代感甚至有点科学，美丽的童话背后是血淋淋的算计和权谋，有很大的反差感，不是这么传统的奇幻。以猎魔人的能力总感觉会被世俗的力量利用而招致灭顶之灾所以才如此衰弱，被人嫌弃。忘记原著是否有提到这一段，希望以后的故事有机会补完。
莉莉由电话得知小女儿芳安只是普通肺炎，或许这样的结果是观众的某种预期，也是导演无法做到“抛开一切”的残忍之必然。以SARS的恐惧去超越癌症的恐惧来躲避“坑洼”，母女最后的“和解”还不是一种“未完待续”。
大概華人看了都會有點頭和感同身受的時刻吧，不管是在校園還是家庭，甚至是千禧年周杰倫金曲，以及與華人甚至亞洲環境始終無法斬斷的連結。在Covid19下看SARS背景有些奇異的重合感。
很有意思的，最好的幾個地方，都跟「身體」有關。被打那裡，那位一直格格不入的爸爸才真正像一個爸爸，那也是力度最強的一場。然後她跑去看馬，也是先摸它，要套上籠頭，馬不要，才有了那個對視。她很敏感地，用「身體」感受這個世界，然後在創作裡復刻這些感受，所以不管其他問題，總歸是真誠的。
看似讲述传统中国家庭的矛盾与和解，实则是对中国家庭观念的刻板印象与 SARS 背景的叠加，以映照当下 COVID 疫情。至少于我而言，片中的家庭不是我的经历 @Netflix
比真人剧好很多，虽然部分剧情衔接很硬，但打斗画面真的很精彩。
