H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival® is proud to present DEAD TONGUES our first Feature presentation on DVD, and the Winner of the 2016 Best Feature award. Following the mysterious suicide of her former lover, a woman teams up with his estranged twin brother to unearth the uncanny events preceding her ex-boyfriend's death. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's short story, "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family," this film embodies all the things we value most in independent film and is an impressive example of doing a lot with very little. The film's strength lies in the storytelling, excellent performances, and smart choices about what to show and what to leave to your imagination, unlike conventional Lovecraft adaptations which fail due to overwrought special effects and scripts that just don't get cosmic horror right. Also on the disc are two bonus short films: "Ink" by Ashlea Wessel "Beast in the Cave" by Cameron McCasland Approx runtime 105 minutes NTSC, region 0, English, no subtitles. Dead Tongues was made possible through crowdfunding, grants, and Northwestern University's student group, Applause for a Cause.
和前作那种空洞皮囊堆砌而成的所谓“政治寓言”几乎完全反着来，高明剧作技巧下的个人叙事，始终和人物保持若即若离的间距，当所有谜题被揭开，又对那个始终游离在动荡与冷漠之外的孤独生命抱有无限的善意。
咱就说，再开放的结局，他也该有个结局是吧…
曾经熬夜通宵第二天也有饱满的精力应付日常，现在赶紧睡吧不然明天就惨了。时间就是这样无法克服的障碍，无法控制出现的顺序，也无法阻止注定到来的天明，纠结啊！
剧情的走向充满着一种怪异的趣味，在弯绕中引领看客在最后梳理出各自想要的答案。但最终，它证明并不属于这两者，却拥有这之外的特质。
整体感受并不深，城市风光片谈不上，家庭伦理片更不行，不到一个半小时的观影，感觉时间都被偷走了。
女主太弱，就如待宰羔羊，记者也全无作为，故事不精彩。性骚扰的作家最后得手让故事自带邪气。
作为悬疑片有点过于平铺直叙了，悬疑点设计地不错(有原著加持？），但拍得不够抓人。
还是可以看得下去的，女主颜值一直在线，也很喜欢这种傍晚出来去日本的小居酒屋喝酒的感觉
略微沉重，有那么点蝴蝶效应的味道，一言一行都注定了后来的惨剧。感觉好像没做错，又觉得好像都错了。
安安静静中展现存在主义危机。墨西哥海岸非常美丽，搭配全副武装的巡逻士兵以及随时可能发生的枪击，很生猛写实。Tim Roth完美诠释出死鱼一样生无可恋的感觉，存在没有什么意义，存在就是荒诞。
浪费了交叉骨和斯巴达勇士这俩硬汉了，最有演技的就是那个神经病杀手，剧情太傻了，啥刺激场面也没有
一窝乱斗！就一个反派，大杀四方，警察的警惕性和战斗力就这么低，确定是美国警察，而不是皇协军？
警察局，警察们，女主（警察），骗子，雇佣杀手，叛徒（警察），疯子杀手。
还行，就是有点简陋，故事和人物都差点意思。
This movie gives comfortable mood in the first act and heartwarming in the other hand It give the big issue that your yakubd.net love is true or just one word. Many thing I don't like which all characters are flat and awkward conversation.
因为15年前的私心，对乔·卡纳汉一直颇有好感，现在仔细想想这兄弟水准一直不高。Who the fuck is Toby Huss? Denis O'Hare look alike.
5/10 我还以为当代加缪呢，结果纯粹摆烂而已。
这是一部白光绚眼的片子。大片的视觉过暴让人联想到病房和视网膜。
很舒服。叙事的节奏，日常的活动慢节奏一幕幕地过，不是在交代什么，呈现一种状态，然后出来一种节奏，这种节奏是导演想给出的东西。导演也喜欢节奏一下来个突变，他不要起伏，一层层铺上去再滑下来，那种，婉转的东西，他就是突然来一下，开一枪，然后立马回到原来的慢节奏，这很有意思。
嗯嗯！
