Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
2.5/5 在我看來...嗯就是那種噱頭大於劇情的電影，薩滿好看之處便在於除了恐怖噱頭外，它的劇情鋪陳與偽紀錄攝影也做的極其紮實，《咒》用偽紀錄片方式下去拍，挑戰台灣當今最恐怖的電影是成功一半了，但是劇情無法服人，外加可能是坐太前面了，看個20分鐘頭就開始暈，看的如坐針氈好不舒服。台灣至今最讓我欣賞的恐怖片依舊是《紅衣小女孩2》，溫情與恐怖各方面都是高標竿，《咒》帶著從未聽過的邪教元素下去挖掘，敘事兵分二線交錯剪輯，反而拆散了單一主線的凝聚力，偽紀錄攝影在大國賓看不坐後面點真的會暈，然後大國賓音效升級後也真的強，好幾次都被音效震到（想來這邊刷蝙蝠俠了🤣），演朵朵的小女孩才4歲，4歲就演這部實在太折騰，如果進地道能拍的像《忐忑》，劇情能像《女鬼橋》那樣有點反轉的話，或許會對到我的胃吧哈哈。
三星鼓励。台湾类型片产业从恐怖片开始有了复苏迹象，无论从投资还是票房看，这也确实是个恰当的切入点。祈福。

很棒，亮点很多，respect，但是有两个点，这个片完全没必要用伪纪录片的形式拍啊，很多视角太刻意。另外佛母的脸，感觉一下跳戏了，像是西方恐怖片的概念。
为玩弄观众的创意加一星。不过那个男的去云南的时候明明已经2020年之后了，为什么飞机落地后不需要隔离14到21天？
不要盯着那些经文看!
这片子拍得很好，但是恶意满满。是真正的恶意，不是开玩笑，也不是过分的恶作剧。导演用了很多视听语言和心理暗示技巧去达到他的目的。所以，直觉和现实都是：恶意满满。评分为大义。同情心理脆弱会受影响的观众们，祝福你们～～～P.S.能力越大，责任越大，给所有创作者。

镜头不停地没逻辑切换实在令人看得又晕又烦躁，伪纪录片的形式不是不能用，但真的不要滥用，基本上又是个作死+献祭+亲情的故事，被说晦气的形式恰恰就是优于《灵媒》的优点，《灵媒》缺的就是这种联结感。民俗元素成了近几年台湾恐怖片的加分项，玩得越来越溜了。真心地说，华语恐怖片还得靠台湾。
感恩玻璃心远离恐怖片儿！感恩胆小鬼拒绝恐怖片儿！感恩科学家放过恐怖片儿！
劇本上就是標準台灣恐鋪片常用的結構但也不差，很想再看一次美術上的設計，但真的噁心到生理上想吐，不知道該不該看第二次。
特脏的一个片 没看过的人我不建议你们看 尤其体质差的
期待了三个月，概括来讲就是四个字：灵啊灵啊。 影片至少五处场景独具匠心：电梯那段致敬《lights out》，仪式现场女主慌不择路RPG游戏既视感，大妈冷不丁的背后突袭，祝福符号视觉停留，结尾传播正能量传播爱，都来得太巧妙。 有几个镜头密集恐惧症患者看得简直叫苦不迭，有点手臂挑芝麻那味儿了。
本片展现了东亚自私父母的真实面目：自私父母的存在就是对这个世界下的诅咒。//以及希望所有人能明白，女人并不是天生就具有“母性”的，把一切行为动机都建立于“母性”之上是极不靠谱的。
让创作者表现出他们的愤怒不会使这个国家崩溃的！
富强、民主、文明、和谐、自由、平等、公正、法治、爱国、敬业、诚信、友善。
的确不爱看恐怖片，一直认为除了科班学子比较适合从中学习一些有趣的视听技巧，或一些胆大包天的恐怖片爱好者乐于加入这来之不易的高口碑类型片狂欢，我实在不知还能从中阅读到什么更有意思的信息（当然和朋友们一起集体尖叫苦笑还是挺有趣的…），可能片里的“莲蓬乳”勾起了我小学时那充斥变态好奇心的尘封记忆是这片唯一的“作用” w/阳 cm luo
每次一想到女主那么害怕还不忘举着摄像头我就好出戏啊，不能吃喝只是说不能从嘴入对吧，那不能注射葡萄糖吗都自己扎了🤣
这个剪接的顺序很奇怪，作者性太强，但某种程度上与伪纪录的形式相悖。调度有些凌乱，些许下咒的内容令人会有生厌的反感，我知道这是想吓唬人也知道这就是个电影，但是这种方式跟电影结束之后字幕告诉你没鬼都是精神病其实某种诡异的有异曲同工之处……我们什么时候能放开了拍邪教和这些邪事儿呀
可以理解是本地化的《招魂》《潜伏》，之前这类片子，我们因为文化差异都少了几分代入感。《咒》从手法上没有什么新意，但真实事件改编+伪纪录片+导演深深的恶意，确实让我这种阅恐怖片无数的人觉得后劲十足。
