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.
好好好好好好带劲儿啊！子仁他值得，他和安安一样也是亚洲之光！就是在恐怖片这个小类里他也不重复自我不打安全牌，又在新的小细分区域里搞出了新花样！而且更可贵的是，越到近年他的恐怖作品里反而更多传达了积极正向的意念了，感人！
前半段氛围还不错，出人意料，但后半部分就沦为动作片了，温子仁是拍海王上瘾了
影片元素异常丰富，悬疑、动作、惊悚、恐怖、人格分裂、畸形……这种种的原料在温子仁手里，被非常和谐的封装在了一起。
前面真的无聊死了，女主尖叫也很尬演；监狱那段解谜+大屠杀加一颗星！可算精彩了，结果发现，这个借用了哈利波特与魔法石的设定，归根结底还是毁掉姐姐生活的弟弟……真-吸着姐姐（和姐姐孩子）的血肉成长的恐怖寄生虫😂温子仁这么女拳了吗？
变形场景带来的肢体不适感 犹如阴风阵阵新解的舞蹈再现
楳图一雄粉丝终极狂喜！今年来最愉快轻松的一次电影之旅！如果说之前的温子仁对我来说还只是小天才学霸的话，本作足以令他封神！就仿佛在灵异频道和杀人狂频道之间打开了一条隧道一样，两个频道切换自如却互不抢戏。你能够在本片中看见各位老朋友：战栗空间、阴风阵阵、狂犬病甚至是咒怨，但温子仁用他独有的复古和创新调动了所有风格，打造出完全不同的构建类型电影的模式。最为难能可贵的是他始终没有放弃温情的展示，我甚至能够体会到八九十年代类型电影那种俏皮的浪漫感。用闪烁的灯光电器作为触发恐惧的直接元素，却在画面的每个角落放满令人产生惊恐联想的暗示，不断累积直到【blank】一鼓作气爆发。他已经不是想吓人了家人们，他居然真的只是想讲一个纯粹的恐怖鬼故事啊家人们！！！
千万不能看引进版！千万不能看引进版！千万不能看引进版！
虽然表现不佳但我好喜欢那种传统劲儿，就，魔鬼呀录像带呀小孩子呀~
这是最近很长一段时间以来，我看过的非常有新意的恐怖电影了。不但悬念的营造不生硬，谜底的揭晓也在出人意料的同时做到了逻辑通顺。
不错，这次看来是花了心思，而不像之前那样纯挂名的，整体可看性确实高不少，小反转做的有点刻意，不够亮。总体来说还算满意
我的天 这让我想起走近科学里有一期类似的 没那么极端 但那是第一次知道寄生胎
电影有许多值得改进的剧情，有些喜剧配角可以去掉，Sydney去医院找资料居然能什么事都没有就回来，也是从这开始故事进度加速
配乐浮夸+1 不是很恐怖。控制视觉中枢这说法可以，关进精神监狱哈哈哈哈。女主很乐观，不过妹妹光环真重啊。肿瘤侠这又名笑死我
巴哥不少，但看片过程能让人沉浸里面没想那么多，不过电影一结束就各种冒出来了。
还挺下饭的，但缺少了温子仁往昔电影中那种令人意犹未尽反复琢磨的层次感，可能是制作太流水线了，也可能是剧情太以“制造悬疑和完成最终的反转”为中心，反而少了点后劲，想要好好咀嚼却发现没什么味道。（四星的意思就是值得一看，挺不错的，但是不会二刷了）
“人格分裂”具象版，创新精神不错，精神内核是对家与爱的定义解构，有成为影史恐怖经典的潜力。目前评分6.9，十年之后你再看它。
但是整體驚悚的就是恰到好處
在迎合市场并开创一定风格后，B级片才是温导真正内心的恶趣味，它在本片中迎来了全面的爆发！
看的下载完整版。感觉很多细节都是斯蒂芬金的情节，包括问题的终极解决法，当然也留了续集空间。好补一下《魔女凯莉》
渐入佳境。拍的真是够时髦梦幻的。警cha局大屠杀实在是太上头了。
