David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
看恐怖片目的是增加自己的情绪波动 这片做到了 万谢
氛围塑造和故事铺垫都足够沉稳，部分拟沉浸式的体验也比较新奇，《咒》的某些桥段还是足够令人毛骨悚然。
7.8 技巧稚嫩之外，沒有失望，民俗宗教很能戳中我的点。看着看着把空调都关了，夏日清凉
不懂这个电影和真实事件有什么关系啊？毫无关联啊，然后女主害死师傅一家那里我超级生气，朵朵实惨。感觉可以打三星半，至于诅咒的话其实是恐怖片的套路啊，不要心理暗示
不弱于双瞳。作为礼物的牺牲，伪记录片本身的传播可视为一场“名为祝福”的夸富宴，人们对牺牲的“破坏”，正是确保这份礼物能够成为必须被回报的献礼。咒文翻译那里设计很巧妙，注意力集中在单字时背景如果有波动效果会更佳。（精神系恐怖片观影时总会暗自提醒自己是唯物主义者。
太！好！看！了！那些说晦气的可别再糟蹋电影了 你们压根不配看恐怖片 有花两小时看电影的功夫还不如去庙里多拜拜
这不就是“看到这段话的人不照我说的做就要倒xx大霉”的加长版诅咒吗。。。贞子都不服气。晦气又荒谬的诅咒，但在我们的文化环境下就是很难完全不信。各种概念都挺本土的，再也不用羡慕（？）基督教文化的驱魔片没有代入感。不过开头一上来给我整俩视错觉小实验有点气人，敷衍谁呢。
設定了一個含糊不清的宗教，卻硬是想把宗教的背景作為謎底，相當令人出戲。
现实生活中我不相信鬼神诅咒，但受到外来造成的恐惧心理是真实存在的，像是我们看恐怖片，亦或是接触了晦气的东西，你的想法决定了你的所见所闻。
如果你觉得晦气被冒犯到了那就说明这部影片成功地完成了它的用意。这种打破第四面墙的手法加上伪纪录片的形式给代入感加了双重buff。（我觉得真的对宗教信仰有点研究的不会这么轻易就相信被诅咒了吧，这只是部电影而已哈，赌气打低分情感上可以理解作为电影赏析我觉得无语😓）
如果在影院看想必会被吓到骂娘，埋伏观众这一手也很恶趣味。但有几个段落没解决相机存在的合理性，属于伪纪录片通病了。主角的行为逻辑也过于作大死，应该设置得更聪明一点。
套路还是很明显，作死的探秘者、邪性的仪式、诡异血腥的献祭、硬闯禁忌、接连横祸。。。都能看到其它恐怖片的影子。比起来角色和经历，觉得场景设置和空间的衔接转换（如地道、曲折的民房小路、杂乱的土屋等），形成了焦急的惊悚期待，氛围更好一些。对我个人来讲，墙皮斑驳的旧屋子、地道、旧雕像，有种原始的破败的恐怖，比密集洞洞皮肤、坏死的组织、血流满面要更有吸引力。
伪纪录片的形式确实很能增加真实感和代入感。里面的内容也是跟宗教信仰有关的，就是说有本土的东西在里面，其实是很不错的恐怖片了。
人间乡土气，最杵观众心，有血、有虫、有密恐，冲顶上头，观影罢，争些寒气，大暑降温差，一年湾湾出两部，二手诅咒更廉价，且看且骂骂，千万别瞅万家洗地狗屁话，晦气当属争第一，指引今朝，还看荷兰独领风骚。
无脑血浆片，虽然让人恶心可比让人害怕要简单
2.5 作为一部中式恐怖片没有中式恐怖感，只感受到了10年前的qq空间里那种“看完转发出去不然你会xxxxx”的那种传播恶意。确实挺晦气，因为导演散播意图太明显了，我看到有人说不许吐槽晦气，谁看恐怖片是求吉利之类的。这两个有关系吗？我只是吐槽导演意图，你是在上纲上线什么？
3.5星。柯孟融透过时下最流行的直播视频/记录画面，揭露出影像的虚假性，及其制作背后的操纵性。正如女主角在误信邪教后，亲手将女儿献祭而策划的精心大戏，导演也利用了影像上各种视觉的把戏，向观众一步步植入神秘的民俗和宗教信息，从而让观众在一种恐怖片里体验到互动的滋味。
东施效颦之作，所有的所谓实验与先锋行为都不应逾越礼貌的雷池。当然看盗版同样不礼貌，扯平了。
2022-7-11被大致剧透过了，慕诈骗岛之名而来，ac35613585需要2倍速。伪纪录片哪来那么多鬼帮忙机位调度。是因为动保吗？寻常动物也是特效。“这片已经发展到你打低分就是胆子小不配看电影的地步，b站那个原事件的解说比这片恐怖多了”
整体完成度的感觉挺破碎的，从世界观的搭建到摄影机位的布兵，有少少好料但无好桥。
