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].
A-
发现了一个趋势，因为故事本身去评判一个完整的作品，忽略美术音乐摄影和导演风格巧思等等等等。so，看完真的觉得不止这个分数，承认故事上的逻辑有不通顺的地方，但是却不得不说蛮好看的，拍的华丽丽，连追杀戏都是梦幻的。
画面、颜值、摄影都挺好看的一部惊悚片，更多是心理悬疑，心理幻觉。伦敦的时尚与古旧都有所呈现，让人感觉很好。女主把乡村来到都市的那种忐忑、不适演得挺好，挺有学生味。剧情最后的反转也有些意思，居然是房东老太太反杀各种嫖客，不过让她自诉实情有些太直白了，感觉是编剧找不到好方法来揭底了。
这些不合理都削弱了剧情和女主Anya的感染力。
双线分离的时候情节平庸但尚有韵味，双线合一之后似有假高潮但空有外壳了
摄影很丝滑，音乐很搭配，服道化都很棒，对镜子的使用很巧妙，关键是两位女演员演的也都很好，她俩都是新生代中的佼佼者。
赖特最大的问题技术上的花完的好，但是电影与故事本身有点无趣。而且他喜欢把一种灯光和爽点从头用到尾。歪小子就是一个很好的例子，他的片很容易看着疲劳。但最大的失望就是你以为这片赖特来他一定不会这么拍，但是他还真就这么俗套的拍了。
-0.5 这收尾也太扯了 但音乐品味很棒 埃德加赖特选曲没得说
这些不合理都削弱了剧情和女主Anya的感染力。
已经是十年前的歪小子了
反转之前，现代部分上至八旬房东老太，下至妙龄青葱少女，所有女性形象都刻板扁平到堪称“古老”。
虽然不是导演一贯的风格，但还是是一场视听盛宴，就是故事简单了些。
最不喜剧的一部莱特，也是最不喜欢的一部莱特。剪辑、摄影、表现手法在线甚至有所突破，依旧难掩剧本和人物的稀碎。所以观感十分分裂，俗套又新颖，说是爆米花商业吧，又不如 babydriver 要素多。虽然很爱莱特，但他真的驾驭不了「大作」。
只有前半段值得称赞，Edgar最让人失望一次。
消失的爱人策划思路升级版。中规中矩的美式商业恐怖片。
从开头就若隐若现的吊诡气氛，让影片逐步进入惊悚中，但滥用的jumpscare又削弱了氛围塑造而只造成一惊一乍的恐怖效果；另外则是有些过于刻意的反转和只为反转的警察角色稍显僵硬（真正潜藏于细节并在最后一刻能够给观众带来震撼的反转依旧是科波拉的《对话》）
第一次听downtown还是在《移魂女郎》里
7分。恐怖片+音乐剧？这种组合倒是挺有意思的。电影色彩画面的设计很棒，故意的噪点让电影带上了老片子独有的颗粒感与厚重感，同电影主推的60年代相得益彰。音乐的部分也挺配的，很喜欢开场JAKE和两姑娘跳舞的那段，两个女主的不断变化很得我心。但可惜故事后半段有些太过刻意，最后的反转倒还不错，可惜最后的自杀还是太刻意了。Thomasin McKenzie艳光四射，这次算是压了Anya Taylor-Joy一头哎~~~
3. 铅黄不像铅黄，饱和不够，格局太小。
能看到很多电影的影子，赖特的影迷、歌迷属性还是太重了点，两个年代并没有很好的融合到一起，导致电影从半程开始基本沦为了一场视觉大秀，当然那些镜头拍的的确不错，但是放在了一个比较差的故事里
