American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
也是想用叙事手段来讲电影的，但是真的没有那种灵活机巧的感觉，非常简单不烧脑，就是讲一个小故事，确实没啥意思。
别带太高期待，这是一部故事能讲圆，完成度还行，在一众求哭求爽求歌颂的轰炸中有点显眼有点另类的黑色小片罢了。
第3317-摄影还行，算是导演没白学摄影。就算剧情需要，角色也太容易了晕倒了；倒叙时连接点不好比较杂乱；高潮不明显，始终一个不紧不慢的节奏；爆炸竟然引起不了周围住户的骚动；最后这么着急的时候还在无用功推冰块让人无法理解。鼓励加一星吧，还不能说差。
“丐帮”儿童那段给整笑了。什么鬼！
有些俗套，但是这就像看人一样，确实不应该偏听偏信。
代入感很漂移，无聊到完全不care发生了什么，一帮孩子出来就不想看了。
不能算作一部喜剧。
前面都不错，结局有点仓促。
翻转挺没劲的，也没太多铺垫，范伟老师真的给力
一般，剧本的丰富程度撑不起主创人员的野心和想法。
😹bug过多！冰箱。。救护车。。。
小孩子出来那一刻很震撼。
“丐帮”儿童那段给整笑了。什么鬼！
当故事本身没有什么特别的时候，就去挖掘讲故事的方式吧。场景几乎全部在一个小小的屋子中，一个一个新人物出现，剧情也不断地进行反转，喜欢玩剧本杀的人应该会看的很爽吧哈哈哈。看老演员演戏真是舒服呀，窦骁这次也挺好。
不知道谁给了个喜剧的标签？这是喜剧吗？完全的悬疑嘛。这个配乐，我的天，大晚上看，真的挺惨人，，，醉了。
现在流行的院线电影：剧本杀密室气质+舞台剧气质。
最后结局居然是那个人以前是警察 身体不好 不是猝死 小人物？又都不是大恶？？？感觉编剧想给他们写恶，但是又多了很多善，不伦不类🎾😓😓
这个剧本很完美的，草蛇灰线的环环相扣，最后摄像头直播被警察抓扣分的，但是也都明白为了审查吗，但是那个突然认二舅这也太勉强了，直接扣分呀，以及互相打斗那段也是有点扯了，范伟老师演技已经出神入化了，窦骁挺反转的，可惜了要不然可以成为黑马的，三星6分吧！
题材不新颖，但完成度真的很高，💯观影体验！国产犯罪悬疑商业类型片需要更多能达到这个水准的片子，越多越好~
