This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
a24的片子真是越来越难以下咽，故作高深、虚声靡靡、全是自以为的概念加上一点点视觉冲击力，感觉这样下去离倒闭也不远了…
单纯觉得电影不咋地，反正不合我胃口，不是因为女权不女权的问题。电影里隐喻的概念太多，场景也就那样吧，女主没有什么主动性是最让我厌烦的，就最开头来说，家暴控制狂老公自杀了不是应该高兴吗？看到这里我有三分欣慰，终于有男人以自杀作为对爱人的惩罚了。
牛逼.........一定要看未删减版，连环分娩的场景我因为来不及躲避一下全程直视，可能会造成一段时间不小的心理阴影了......
把女性对男性的恐惧原因以及男权无形的压迫构成，放大、拆解又表现出来，影像风格很赞，这个女性视角也是没想到加兰表现得这么好。就是这个放大解构得太明显惹…
视觉美学是挺厉害的，厌男倒也是刻画到了极致，但挺流于形式和表面的。
Alex Garland’s movie style really amazes me, he filmed the british countryside so beautifully. Wanna visa the forest of dean to see the tunnel now. Rory Kinnear got range, he can act every fucking thing, even a new born baby. Jessi Buckley is like made for these kind of movies. we lived under the patriarchy for so long. That birth scene.
人体奇观大赏，代代相传的恐惧，生而为男，请你抱歉。PS：男男生子文可代（bushi。
为那个惊掉下巴的无限分娩奇观我还是愿意给出高分，整个片子指向和厌男情绪太明确，以爱要挟两性关系，拆解成几类男性角色的具体形象来批判拙劣的道德绑架，就算再怎么“重新做人”一变再变看似“毫无保留”地求爱，本质还是一个样，真的很讽刺与挖苦。主题曲无缝衔接， Elton John的一首老歌《Love Song》Love is the opening door/Love is what we came here for/No one could offer you more.
[视]R血，露鸟，A24，导演<湮灭><机械姬>。氛围片，一人饰多角，后期有影史级重口桥段，雌雄同体，分叉手，套娃。个人第6666个已看条目

甄嬛传…容嬷嬷等，是不是还要“恐女”？
#22#45感情里要死要活死缠烂打的人实在可怕，第三胎时女主那嫌弃的眼神把我看爽了。
从头到尾都充斥着对男性的敌意和恐惧，不仅针对出现在剧中的各色男性，甚至离经叛道的指向宗教：阴森的教堂、淫秽的神父，甚至女主角前夫自杀时身上出现的圣痕，都直指代表着象征男权的基督教；如果说丛林中走出的古怪男子象征着亘古而来的男权思想，那么剧中的出现的诸多男性则是开枝散叶的“魅力国男”，甚至连跨性别者/同性恋人群也难以逃脱Y染色体的控制；飘散的蒲公英是男性恣意播撒的侵略、体液和野性，暗红色的房子是女性难以逃脱生育命运的母体子宫，片中的各种隐喻在最后二十分钟通过强烈的观感刺激，变成一种彻底的对于男性和生育的恶心和恐惧。总言之，这是一部男人和女人看完都会心神不宁的电影。
巴克利咋总演这种角色啊……片子整体太像达伦的《母亲》
A24的恐怖片下限依旧有保障，而且又是加兰执导。美学沿袭《湮灭》，最后连环套娃可以入选年度WTF场景，然而剧本太薄，甚至跟《机械姬》比也不够看，男人是原罪而女人是解药，没有狠打女拳反而不是最优解，最后的和解也挺多余（单就故事本身而言收尾太温和。
很不错，景的选择非常适应于剧情的发展，恐怖片的女主果然很考演技，杰西顺利再线。从苗头初显到走火入魔，这次疯狂的经历在魔幻和夸张之中让人震惊，不仅仅是女主，在这样抽象赤裸的男人世界里，男人女人都很受罪。
3.5星，反gaslighting教科书，女主真的很适合演这种小成本惊悚片，外表脆弱但是眼神倔强，姐妹们看到了吗不要被任何人洗脑你就是你生命的主宰
这部片和拉斯冯提尔的《忧郁》有异曲同工之妙。男性生育套娃和分裂开的左手引起严重生理不适。
一个借助影像手段的表现艺术作品。作为电影观感不佳，建议避开。
