Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
虽然剧情并不像，但却莫名觉得看了一部芬兰版的《遗传厄运》是怎么回事...以及妈妈这个角色演得真好尤其是皮笑肉不笑的时候。（这片子里的芬兰语听起来好像泰语）
演员挺好的，整个剧情沉稳压抑的一点也不热血
跟热血差点意思，剧情很好猜，期待值太高了..
特效不错，然而用明暗“毒液”设定硬套“夜访吸血鬼”，剧本不讲武德。为什么所有反英雄最后都要找蜘蛛侠啊，放过他吧他还只是个孩子只想读书泡妞呀...
画风实在太塑料了（可能就是要这种效果吧…）惊悚得不痛不痒
你先？
女孩的眼睛真美，但是就是现在的恐怖片都没法超出人的想象了吗？又是一个能猜到情节走向和结局的电影
香港90年代黑帮电影的代餐，有着《黑社会》的身影，有些粗糙但整体都还不错。比一些韩国黑帮片的故事说的好太多了，加上崔泽爸爸和垃圾哥的表演，还是值四颗星的。
画风实在太塑料了（可能就是要这种效果吧…）惊悚得不痛不痒
北欧恐怖片从不让我失望，慢节奏也一样能出彩
不恐怖，还有点意犹未尽，总感觉还没演完，还应该发生点什么。
跟热血差点意思，剧情很好猜，期待值太高了..
一点也不懂得爱惜羽毛的索尼宇宙在这个落后于时代至少十年的企划面前彻底分崩离析，毫无逻辑、毫无灵魂，没法产生丝毫的共情，从台词、角色造型到CG都不敢相信这会是在整个行业经历TDK、Endgame洗礼后能想出来的点子。在毒液这种把反派当成英雄拍得不伦不类之后，工具人伊斯皮诺萨直接选择了躺平摆烂—-他的履历就是由一系列不断在颠覆与俗套间摇摆的“好烂片”组成的，这一次索性连前作异星觉醒那样的暗黑结局设定都给掐没了，可怜的莱托再次成为了宇宙化的牺牲品，当然相比起他，更让人心疼的则是神秘博士，好不容易从电视圈走出来，没想到一头扎进了一座彻头彻尾无药可救的超英坟场，以及结尾的秃鹫ooc乱入，凯文飞机看了估计连吐血的心都有了。
很有意思的北欧小实验。孵化出自己的阴暗面，愤怒、嫉妒、暴力，人性的恶从来都和年龄性别无关。从鸟变成鸟人变成人，在这样一个极度畸形又各怀鬼胎的家庭里，善良终究消亡。鸠占鹊巢的怪物食腐饮血，也敌不过妈妈的笑容令人恶心恐惧。
郑宇身上有种难以言喻的气质，确实和本片也挺契合，或许是前面铺垫的太长，渐而变成了黑帮人文片，而且人文的也不太行，。
路西恩去买了份报纸，报纸上说犀牛人逍遥法外。
…有些空洞 像为了吓人故意吓人 但是又没有吓到人
还行，感觉还挺写实，像是真实的故事。
蠻有新意的恐怖電影，過程中也有驚嚇點，可惜沒在大螢幕上看🥲
有道是，有人的地方就有江湖，只剩一片残阳…
