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].
开场其实觉得会得奖的，只是渐渐地……就是说，又一部印度神剧呀！
题材不错，反转还行，剪辑和节奏不太行，少用点升格就好了。
同样是发展国家，同样问题重重的印度给出了答案。
每个国家都有各自的问题，是选择直面还是逃避？允许监督还是禁止？允许讨论还是禁止？允许批评还是禁止？
上一个这么好哭又好笑的机器人还是Wall-E，再上一个是T-800。好莱坞惯会的就是新瓶装旧酒，但有些时候不得不承认别人的瓶子的确好看。
优点说完了，作为电影，拍得真的不怎么滴。印度似乎很喜欢这种无数反转的剧本，就像之前的调音师，这种戏码用到点子上画龙点睛，但用烂了，除了不可避免的数不清的bug以外，我说好听了就是工匠感，说难听了就是消费智商来了，这故事拍得就是流水账，只需要刻意隐藏信息然后一个一个抖包袱反转就行了，当然也许为了迎合市场和口味而为之，那恰恰就拉低了电影的水准。
印度神片 又一个新高度...又是我们不能立项的作品之N
应该拍成《爱，死亡，机器人》的某一集，搞成真人长片，着实有点浪费资源了。
最后在世界上文化低能的只有一个朝鲜还有一个大国
结尾随即陷入无尽的仓促生硬反转之中。
印度的电影，缺啥拍啥，这是最大的民主表现。
非我等动动笔杆、喊喊口号的“理论家”所能企及
反转推动情绪，情绪转化力量。别人的远见，文化的坚持，勇敢的冲劲，摆在那里，不得不服啊！
这是一个13亿人都在追寻的真相。
情绪被配乐塞得很满，慢镜头多到想两倍速，探讨的议题也不新鲜（我们拍不出不代表主题很新）。这片子更多的分都是打给“片子之外的共情分”吧，片子本身没啥意思。
一直在反转，每次反转都揭露不同主题，像看了好多部电影。说是大爽片不为过。
一人一狗一机器🤖 荒凉的末日公路🛣 Tom Hanks 无论开飞机✈️还是卡车🚚 哪怕从小鲜肉变成了老腊肉， 我依然爱看！ 最后的蝴蝶是Finch的化身吗？ 重新长草是末日后的重生吗？ Jeff开始懂得人性，有学习能力，是新物种的诞生吗？
如果真是这么拍，就真的敢拍。
一再刷新印度政治的黑暗度 知道黑 原来还是有更黑 2855
★★★☆ 情绪电影。虽然在当前环境中起不到什么决定性作用，但能发声去表达总是好事。
