Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
不如电锯来得爽快。你的哥现在的角色都这么爽的吗？
没抱什么期待，只是个对剥削电影的剥削。当创造者思考的不是内容上的新异，拍出来的电影又怎么能够格。想到这真是对这种电影厌透了，结构狂文本狂自己开个新流派玩去吧，少用食之无味弃之可惜的老元素勾引人
很难喜欢，电影虽然复古却也顺便把上世纪屠杀片的各种缺点全搬过来了，色情+血浆，明摆着套路元素去吸引观众，可效果也就那样，衰老和所表达的人格“互通”算有一点新意，但一部电影最需要呈现的东西都拍得很杂乱，再想增加一点思考也是毫无作用的，不过老人做爱确实有一点诡异，以及没想到的是女主和老人是同一个演员，再次感叹化妆技术的强大
其实立意挺新，没有玩老梗，那帮完恐怖片的都在追求故事核的跃升，这是好现象，不然，月光光，猛鬼街，以及电锯们都快玩虚脱了。终于来了个原罪探讨+皱皮朽木的躯体对鲜嫩光润身体的嫉妒和对性爱的渴望引起的血腥杀戮。血腥指数，可以给1分，故事立意、给1分。结尾的闭环-最该受惩罚的恰恰是施与判决书的。l
不太理解豆瓣评分为何这么低？！
新奇的Older视角 因为对老去的不甘而猎杀那些挥霍肉体的年轻人 为故事内核raise一星
ps：老年人的性爱是真的恐怖！
结尾有首歌好听——Qui Qui Marie
为Mia Goth量身定制的情色恐怖融合复古类型，潜伏电影之电影的独立低成本摄制情节表象，镜头引向窥视与分级切入结尾的形式趣味和文本成人影星通过现实复仇神谕秘密弑父互为多重注解，铺平血腥自由之路。分屏频闪等剪辑技巧如在银幕观看会更有效。致敬Shelley Duvall的惊声尖叫，牧师宣扬宗教狂热的苍白电波和保守南方田园噩梦的经典性压抑主题孕育畏惧迟暮的原罪，生根引爆青春与衰老，爱欲与倦怠的末日对决。性解放美国梦背后蛰伏着清教徒禁欲主义蠢蠢欲动的草叉和鳄鱼死亡之吻，呼唤神圣再临，审判恶魔画像，当松垮褶皱的老去肉体变成骇人手段，反派主角一体两面的表演是少女老妪在时光罪罚面前无差诅咒，附骨之疽般封存意识深处的轮回：有天你我会一样。就像色情产品和成瘾药物基因里及时行乐的不详音符，跑吧，趁你还有力气。
太烂了，感觉看了该片当年那批拍snuff电影的导演都会跳出来说我也能拍。基本从形式到内容都很肤浅，70年代的法国extreme cinema早就融合女权主义和虐杀电影了，两个女主角杀光所有强奸犯的场景其实比雌雄大盗更具影史意义。X的出现也应证了一件事：我们的电影工业慢慢会拍不出类型片了，所有东西都是前人嚼碎的骨头。
复古黄暴老年恐怖cult片，一锅大杂烩，片中最恐怖的是老年妇女的背后窥探和变态的需求。这也算此类片中的一个创新点，但看得颇为不适。除此之外片中再没有特别的地方。
A24标准元素：动物/肉体/欲望/爆炸的身体。尝试把惊悚和情欲融为一体，同时将衰老和宗教作为不断萦绕的恐惧。衰老和妒忌被导向了杀人和毁灭的欲望，这套逻辑非常恐怖片
变态指数:★★★★★
铺垫太长了，很多表达都没头没尾，导致女主吼出“我他妈是明星”时我笑出了声…
看得太恶心了，老年人还追求毛的性生活啊？反胃。
6.5分。拍个限制动作片都要实景，这是怎么一种专业的精神啊~~~制片人就这么被戳眼杀真的是可惜了~~~本片整体素质一般，作为反派的老头老太绝对真爱了，哈哈~~~PS：黄发女演员死的有点可惜啊，我就在想平时这鳄鱼会吃点啥？？
感觉非常普通，就借着70年代色情片为噱头，但是除了这个噱头别的剧情都很烂。
铺垫太长了，镜头和配乐倒是挺有意思。其实老人也有性欲这件事是很正常的，只是人们往往难以启齿而已
这其实是部科幻哲学片：当年轻女性瘾者意外遇见老年的自己。
