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.
青春悸动的咸湿的，才多大就开始搞个人总结了，还是有点保守了
一群不受关爱的人 一旦有了爱～～～
挺好的，不知道豆瓣为啥一直不开分，电影的热度和票房表现也一一般，电影院真的要挂了吗？这片其实杂糅了很多东西，开头确实是低俗小说，狼想要做好人，也很像塞缪尔杰克逊经历“神迹”之后的改邪归正。好人实验像发条橙，当然没有发条橙那么吓人，主要是搞笑。整体是酷酷的，痞痞的风格，就是不要太强调反转，反而是好事吧！反转转得不够惊喜，反而会因为套路而变得平庸。做好人物的个性，风格再一致一点（酷痞和合家欢有点打架）。疯狂动物城看太久了有点忘了，在世界观格局上，细节打磨上，确实是动物城更好，但是感觉这个片子的完成度和反响落差有点大。
对不起我知道这个剧情稍微有点老套，可是看起来好开心啊😭狐狸市长姐姐娶我吧！
A-. 继《甜蜜的生活》2.0之后，索伦蒂诺又拍出了属于他的《阿玛柯德》与《浪荡儿》。虽然在戏剧设计上做不到费里尼的浑然天成，但市井与怀旧、粗俗和神圣的共生，已经有足够的真诚打动观众。前半段荒唐的段子，都变成后半段伤人的刀子，用反差凸显童真的逝去、成长的愕然和回首的喟叹。“你知道这座城市有多少故事？”这部电影就是补交的答案。2021.9.2 Venezia
剧情一般，笑点也一般，
问题在于一开始以为是家族群像，后来发现外部境遇的变化都是施加给男主角成长的压力阀，但这个角色本身写的很干瘪，表演也缺乏层次感。不过群戏的视线剪辑看的还蛮过瘾…
还是更怀念早期的索伦蒂诺。另外对他弃用Teho Teardo一直怀恨在心
带两宝去的，外国人也很会编剧，各种反转，加人性主旋律。
摇尾巴真可爱 such a good boy
太喜欢了！我宣布狐狸市长就是今年最有魅力的角色！
角色有魅力:痞帅的狼，看起来凶凶的大鲨鱼，最强黑客的蜘蛛，暴躁的食人鱼，仗义的蛇。
一开始坏的表现不深刻。
“我没疯，我只是很年轻。”
大概90年代是美国人最难忘，最缅怀，最得意的年代，所以这部片从画面到剧情，甚至调度、结构都是满屏的考古味。
/chy/灰太狼神偷鲁邦三世联合狐狸市长峰不二子大战憨憨荷兰猪傀儡军团！
“你的使命是什么？”
@金馬58 這是什麼鬼地方，美成這樣，我也想要一言不合就跳進天藍色的海裡。然後也想要認識一個走私香菸的朋友，帶著我在夜裡，開很快的摩托，然後到海中央放玫紅色的煙火。
依然是费里尼啊。这个男孩子跟所有人都不一样，仿佛并不真正在场。比甜茶可爱多了不是么
