The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
《X》——恐怖的不是自然的衰老，也不是生命体的丧失，而是一颗永不服老的心。有时想想，年轻何止是一种资本，美丽何止是一种权力，但是青春刚一握在手中，日影转瞬即逝，这个世界永远都会有更加年轻更加美丽的事物出现，能够想到并有所接受，也是一种能力。
唯一被吓到的场景是女二尖叫。
好活！该有的商业要素都有，还能迷影致敬，还能挖一个老年人的好视角
镜头选取真是有很独到的地方，但是血腥屠杀的部分又相对比较弱。
老年人的性与爱。恐怖片的角色竟然不会让人觉得讨厌因为角色设定就是讨人厌的人！这个方式实在太妙了就连观影也成为一种享受，虽然整个观感仍旧猎奇重口，看完听到旁边的人说I feel sick. 不过仍在可承受的范围内，有一段可以说是年度床戏了。老奶奶竟然是女主演的，化妆出神入化了。几处致敬惊魂记和闪灵，但有些滥用jump scare的嫌疑，整体是近年没有鬼的惊悚片中的翘楚
稍微电影手法与拍摄技术有那么一点不尽如人意。剩下的无论是构思、恐怖还是血腥感，都是很棒的。磨坊电影就是这样的，我仿佛看到了罗伯特·罗德里格兹与昆汀·塔伦蒂诺的感觉。毕竟人家是A24出品，恐怖大厂，不好瞎说话！
老年人性爱也没什么猎奇的，就是很普通的猎杀片
a24现在确实是质感的代名词了，整片的概念还是有点意思的，但还不够惊艳
三星半，模仿的70年代恐怖片真是戳我点了，喜欢 可以 不错！看的出来考究下了点功夫。
中途摄像师在浴缸里的俯拍镜头，还致敬了一把《未麻的部屋》，而收音师女朋友劈门的画面，也很《闪灵》。总之惊悚片是不会再看了，看的心累。
音乐很赞，摄影也很惊叹；可 Ti West电影一贯叙事风格俺就是欣赏不来，it is set in the 70s but still feels very modern；想到了Texas chainsaw massscre.
是我没有耐心吗？觉得无聊…心里想 怎么还不杀人…我不喜欢特效老年人 很扯 两个人走路颤颤巍巍地老人干掉那么多人？女主也搞笑，老年团床上运动时，难道不该解决一下两个人，然后爱干嘛干嘛吗……
小男孩一天到晚解构人类性行为就真的很让人疲劳。导演用猎奇的视角光明正大拍情色恐怖片，有种【哎我就是犯规我就是不要脸】的感觉。他知道观众会对什么厌恶和回避，也知道观众基于政治正确不敢把这些说出口。老年人需要sex，老年人也会想看电影吧，希望不会有倒霉老年人看到这个。三个女主角尤其是米亚高斯，确实让人垂涎，但她接这种片确实可惜。
镜头选取真是有很独到的地方，但是血腥屠杀的部分又相对比较弱。
题材不错，就节奏太慢了，好像还有续集的2部值得期待
要不是“小老鼠”硬要参演一下，后面的恐怖剧情就发展不下去了。
剪辑有点意思，女主一人分饰年轻演员和杀人狂老太两角也是有想法的。
这应该是近些年看到最猎奇的恐怖片了，弗洛伊德说性和攻击性是人的基本动力，被这片完美诠释了（不是
Sex的确会影响到人的生活观念，更不用说还是在1979年。本片又一次证明人性之恶比鬼神更恐怖。
虽然拍a片的剧情有点类似《墨西哥之疯狂摔角狂人》，但是电影质量上比那部强很多！在好莱坞恐怖电影ip被吃得油干榨尽的时代，能出现这样一部原创恐怖片，实属难得！
