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].
用男权打败男权，什么以柔克刚，什么逆练女权？
这么多明星来为圣诞添欢乐结果也没觉得有多精彩，大材小用典范了，还不如让他们一起唱圣诞赞歌俩小时。
生活本身的荒诞已远远大过艺术加工时，电影便不再具备魔力。
电影本身是极好的，表演也特别特别好，但过度的克制和反高潮，让人比较难入戏和共情角色。
亚当·麦凯的尝试存在一些前置的局限，在垃圾影像高度泛滥的今天，将这些放置于银幕以于嘲讽变得像富人们身上的赘肉一般，因此作为一部喜剧它几乎完全不奏效，但他也未能进一步地走向情节剧（正如杜蒙所做的那样），或者彻底献身于一种超验式的浪漫（当然，这一点费拉拉在十年前就做得更加完美），这些终究都来得太迟，也是美国主流电影自身的一种症候。
捕食猛兽的猎手,以自己为饵。
外表 内心，强悍 脆弱。
冗长、沉闷、无趣的一个故事，套了个西部的外壳。
Kate这么危险的异见分子竟然逮几次都给放了，可见美国政府“不行”。
克制版烧女图？拍得太压抑，浪费了卷福一身戏
反社会人格+恋母(几乎一直叫rose,而不是mon)，下一个就是弟弟了。
好吧，让我们一起sit tight and assess。

如此星光闪耀的全明星阵容，就预感着不好看，确实不是我的菜，就是个加长版的SNL，美国人自黑起来绝对第一，这种片子Netflix上看看就行了。想要隐射的讽刺的东西，只要你近几年在美国生活都能看出来。结束以后出字幕不要急着走，彩蛋是全片最精华，我笑吐了！
当荒谬到一定程度后，你会觉得真他妈的写实啊。分裂的、反智的、贪婪的、混乱的、愚蠢的...人类。结尾全裸出镜的演员们辛苦了...
What's the deal of this 演唱会 thing in the middle of the movie !?
群星云集拍成这样，我恨不得想跟《法兰西特派>加一星
很多深柜因为害怕面对真实的自己，总是表现得愤怒，生怕别人把女性气质和自己联系起来，其实真正内心坦荡之人可以接受任何事，别人怎么样关自己什么事呢，何来的仇怨呢。无论再坚毅的外表如果没有一颗勇敢的心都只是绣花枕头。
不知道为什么看着莱昂纳多演的博士想到了张文宏。。
金玉其外，虽不是败絮，但就加上现代人爱看的LGBTQ，也实在算不上回味悠长。倒是DB文艺资深青年最爱拿来标榜品味的“命题作文”了。Kodi 演技那么寡淡居然还能拿金球男配，疫情期间也太缺人缺片缺推广了。
