The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
原本以为就是一部单纯的喜剧片，崔志佳还是有点东西的。
虎头蛇尾，刘平安就是刀爷，真是混乱的关系。下次剧本再改改
黑白影像的核心功能应该是削弱一部分细节和内容，强化和放大一部分特性。这部片子实现了在此基础上一定程度的表达，而且相对完善，尤其最后一幕，画面化为彩色的血雨，冲击力是在的。
行走在悲怆深林的孤绝者，用水墨着色在战场，于深涧内与死去的魂灵重逢。形式大于内容的构图大赏，人物形象单薄，在足够黑暗的影厅里，仍然面目模糊。稍有审美的设计被稚嫩的剧本击穿，成为一剂催眠药，将全场送入沉睡。
殡葬行业角度选的很好，但没表现出行业特点来，有点流于表面。
出乎意料，说实话我是抱着吐槽的心态来的，结果发现片子没有走上之前几位东北“术家”的尴尬道路。表演足够放松，笑点也不尴尬，最后还带反转，我觉得可以。
被抖音的段子给骗了，故事细碎，纯靠几个小段子撑着吧
挺好的。剧情简单但是完整，有笑点也有感触，还有许久不见的江湖义气。很朴实，很接地气。
“每个人都有面孔”，但每个人的面孔都被冰冷的暗色调、层次缺失的低照度摄影、复杂低效的长镜头调度（aka“导演的美学追求”）压得消失不见，本质上与常规主旋律没差。
立意很不错
有人说电影是最好的洗钱工具之一，我说我不信
#轉塘寰耀影城 山林涓流，斜陽迷霧，山谷河下，這的確是帶有“浙浪潮”韻味的意象。畫面帶來的是低飽和度、氤氳的詩意氛圍，似乎開啟了一種全新的詩意電影畫面質感。開頭的出乎意料、結尾的悲壯血雨、河下的槍林彈雨、林間的迷霧光射，無一不是殘酷現實的詩意奇觀。不足之處也有不少，首先就是方言配音，可以看出不是所有的演員表演時說的都是方言，雖然也有在故意避開拍攝能夠清晰看到角色說話嘴型的鏡頭，但是方言的配音在這裏不但沒有成為地域性的亮點，反倒成為了電影最割裂的那一點。還有一些技術上的硬傷，比如跟焦跟不上，有幾個鏡頭的畫質似乎沒有和其他的部分統一。總的來說在當下的環境下能夠看到讓我眼前一亮的國產藝術片實屬不易，呈上4星，支持與鼓勵。
先说优点，摄影讲究，音效丰富，打鱼小妹的吴侬软语好听，在杜比厅里看很沉浸。再说缺点，套一层黑白滤镜≠水墨化，吝啬台词≠诗意≠适合战争题材，相比起来还是《1917》看着舒服。综上，我愿称之为本届北影节最佳催眠影片。
啥玩意都带上“东北”，真能代表辽吉黑咋滴？
虽然电影有逻辑bug，但整体故事还是比较流畅的，个人觉得进院线也是没问题的程度，毕竟即使不是疫情影响，现在电影院的片子也还不如这个。 喜剧内核是悲剧，这个电影起码立意上还是不错的，鼓励分加1⭐！
事实证明三件事：1宋晓峰只能演个配角天天彩，2崔志佳真的有东西，3东北赵家班只能在电影里肖分
虽然是小品式电影，但作为网络大电影相对及格。
人性是复杂的，用一个理念去往里面套用，去刻意提出一个理念，才是最尬的。
挺好看的啊，哈哈哈哈哈，好玩，就是结尾非要拉回来到正路没什么意思
结构上差那么一点，赵大明白的戏往前挪，刀爷的戏放在最后。现在的结构情绪混乱又拉跨。刀爷的角色设计是不错的，可惜力度有点过。也可能是考虑网大受众的口味。喜剧点到后半段基本上没了就很莫名其妙。
