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.
这些年已经难得看到信息量这么大的电影了吧，铺垫铺的蛮好，嘲讽金句也不少。现在的演员也是不容易，明明也不是没有好演员，舞的最厉害的却是烂剧本和渣演技，好演员也是难得有发挥空间。结局最后的反转，让一腔热血的电影人们都成了滑稽的工具人，却也让被抓的凶手可笑了起来，总觉得还是有点不过瘾。
刘循子墨导演处女作，概念和题材是不错的，但整个制作的偏网大，很多桥段都觉得生硬、刻意、不自然，搞笑的地方也不好笑，拔高的东西也没感觉。角色的站位和走位都很话剧，神态和表演也很流于表面，肢体动作很话剧，不电影，没有影像质感。作为处女座三星鼓励。
张本煜演得不错。还是愿意相信这个片子的核心是那句“只要一个人说出去了，千万个人就会记住”。把主题化在自己的作品里，无论什么方式。但前面推理也太无聊了……拼凑感强，想一出是一出，确实有点网剧时代遗留色彩。看到友邻从这个片说到剧本杀，由此可见我大概不会喜欢剧本杀
齐乐山太man了吧！这电影特别韩寒，尤其是音乐部分
本煜真帅；为了保护爱的人，我可以做一切；探寻真相很重要，但放下手也很重要；看完想到了白夜行
反讽censorship、彩蛋、续集的泛滥，致敬/戏谑闪灵、希区柯克的镜头、弗洛伊德荣格心理学、无间道，关于历史、故事和叙事，观众占据了反身的位置，得以观察故事如何制作故事。
片尾那张黑白照片让我想起当年和团队一起参加电影节也都会拍一张剧照风的合影，真是怀念那~ 另外，作为一部在老家民国城拍的电影，再给一颗星~
剧本我有些一言难尽的槽点，不带判断看完成度是可以的，但深究起来，编剧对审查环境的影射悲观几乎都消解在不停想逗观众的插科打诨中让我烦躁疲劳，对文娱行业、对文学投射的自恋又太网感了，最后整成了一出“这事儿太惨了，拍个电影准没错”叙事。秦法之威，造梦的人连在梦中都不敢做更有野心的梦，不可谓不感到创作之虚弱、虚无。
有小聪明没真感情，张本煜不错，女性主义植入加一星
故事逻辑不通，人物塑造也很单薄，演员更浮夸，最可怕的是恶趣味，几个反转稍微有点意思，可又被导演的low拖下水
4.0星。以1940年代的上海为背景的阿加莎·克里斯蒂流暴风雪山庄本格推理，一众演员演技强悍，侦探形象秉承180年推理小说史的一贯传统。最近是推理迷过年吗，下个月《误杀2》还有惊天诡计，宣传海报上肖央坚定的眼神我特么直接给五星。
《驴得水》2号。又是那种剧作合格又挺聪明的问题电影(就像一个本质不坏还很会哄人的问题少年），剪辑放不开，展开太慢、表演浮、动作戏假、调度太生硬；迷影情结也不多；而且服装造型布景那种廉价的民国感让人觉得还是在看现代，不知是经费问题，还是有意为之……所谓剧本杀电影的宣传引人反感。女孩追到越南二次灭口可太狠了。最后几张照片应该都有典故，可以搜搜……
富淫。（扑面而来的电视剧质感，廉价的那种，直到剧终仍未消散。生怕观众不知道是影视城的产物）
尺度真的还可以，没想到，这样的国产必须支持
你知道了你敢拍吗？拍了能批准公映嘛？“可他妈老子也是一个有良心的艺术家！”最终剧中的制作团队被“不可抗力”团灭，“潜规则”超级强大的哈。
非常感动，看哭。“观众看得懂吗？”“不知道，但说了想说的话。”什么剧本杀什么反转什么悬疑都是壳，都不重要。
瑕不掩瑜，夹带私货的“野心”和反转再反转的故事几乎做到了不突兀的融合；而这类题材最难得的就是，初时故事里分尸的动机与后来推翻一切站在越南街头缩回的手，冲击力平分秋色。陈明昊这次表演过了，张本煜全场最佳。
两个小时，前半段感觉情节有些拖沓，后半段反转挺多，但是有些地方感觉为反转而反转，不是很流畅，结尾莫名的升华了，他们不用吃饭吗？最后那个电影的投资哪里来的？满头问号
作为电影，从剧情到演技我觉得只能给三星，大概是及格偏上。但是作为剧本杀爱好者和叫兽粉丝我加上一星。然后本片第一个梗实在戳到我了，再加上一星。
一个全方位缩小版的《利刃出鞘》，演员表演更加舞台剧/话剧，太表面了，除了杨皓宇之外其他人感觉都感觉在演外放的话剧，腔调端的很高，画面不重要，重要的是靠说，用昨天看腾讯那个烂综艺现学的一个词，你电影不需要画面，只需要靠文字和音乐就好了，你画面没有信息的....
