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].
无疑又是偏私人回忆那一挂的，用黑白影像来做旧，儿童视角强调成人世界的残酷，整个执行都毫无意外，本来这个宗教冲突主题我以为会像肯·洛奇一样走写实风，没想到关键的场次规避掉了对抗性，结尾对峙一段过于儿戏了，最后奶奶被留下有点儿唏嘘，当家园不再提供安居的氛围，就要舍弃很多东西。
私人视角的——或是过于私人视角的——高级包装下的平价货；电影与戏剧出现时的彩色画面能看出布拉纳心底的温暖。
很喜欢 虽然很多人拿来与罗马比较，但私人认为比罗马更有共鸣更易代入。尤其中国也有那么多离开家乡的人。里面的妙笔太多了 帮外孙出主意作弊的爷爷 画丝袜的奶奶 抢加酶洗衣粉的孩子，为了和心爱女孩坐一排而拼命读书的小男主，拉帮结派的小太妹……家乡的符号不就是由这些元素和妙笔组成的吗？
北爱版<八月> 儿童视角 情感主线 相似度太高
I love you so
小朋友很喜欢，大人也能看下去，适合全家观影。
每个导演都有一个童年往事，但拍好是另一回事。
挺不错的，装备大更新，酷炫起来了，还加了个新队员，也挺讨喜。不过强行让阿奇自闭再自我治愈这种剧情真的挺烦
这个没想到都有大电影了，我妹超爱看陪她去的
人到底得要有多自恋才会把自己的童年苦乐和革命历史结合起来，最后拍出这么个100%反式脂肪的奶油糖水crowd pleaser……
非常积极，非常正确，感觉汪汪队比少先队还会洗脑。小朋友是挺喜欢的，但是我觉得有必要让孩子少看这些动画片。
从小孩的视角出发感染力太强了，虽然电影历史背景离我很遥远，但不妨碍在情感上有共鸣之处，尤其是最后的生离和死别，叫人感慨。好喜欢朱迪·丹奇演的奶奶啊！
这部罗马/上帝之手/乔乔兔/四百击等等等等的劣质仿品，有独特的历史和political issue，有漂亮/心碎/英伦/小四的台词，有最melodrama的流行可看性——具备优势，却成了最虚假的。
对这种电影没有耐心，抱歉。影像如果不是黑白的，估计会整个看起来像电视电影（。）好白，好男，连政治都没有想好好讲--肯尼斯布拉纳的导演作品绝对不会让你失望，因为它们都无趣得相似。
很棒的电影 没想过电影会做这么精致！四岁的儿子哭成狗！也不知道还有谁家小孩也哭脸的！感觉制作团队也想过有小朋友哭成这样把！
或许每个导演都想拍摄一部关于自己最私人记忆的电影，关于他的童年，关于他的迷影情怀。但越是私人的回忆越容易陷入自我感动。于我来说，影片代入感差了些。但不得不说黑白摄影非常美~
剧中人均爱尔兰文学学士的贝尔法斯特与其说是电影，不如说是一出戏剧，或者是离乡者的镇魂曲。神剧本！7
但其实这片子我还行啊，小男孩超有戏，也有几个漂亮的镜头和调度呢。
跟上两部阿婆的比也还是自恋，但是粉丝如我，对肯爵圈地自萌的容忍度其实要高很多；个人/集体回忆碎片的取舍还是有点问题，整体观感偏乏味。
很好看，装备，车，都比电视上好很多，最后结局还收了新的队员贝贝，孩子看完还想看
