A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

欧美演艺圈是真的顶，吹拉弹唱，身材颜值各项顶格，还要演技，就这条件还要经过筛选才能上。女主角的要求更变态。
老迈的身体拖不住渴望刺激的心，哪怕承受不了负荷也愿在死前一搏。一生都是虔诚教徒，遇到开放挑战也不免痒之夭夭，挥起死神的镰刀教训这些不讲武德的年轻人，也是在斩杀自己不愿意面对的悸动。快乐之后的羞耻，情欲在夜夜笙歌中爆发，特别的是年轻的身体和时光荏苒的留恋。
《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。
2022年第109部：应该比不上农夫女儿们的故事。
可以去看下Weeknd的MV
性在cult片到底是何种角色？有一些性是吸睛的，而这里性和杀戮却是重叠的，比如一开始A片和危险的同时推进，还有老太太坐在摄像小哥身上，看似是虐杀也同样像高潮，这两个动作指向同一个目的，宣泄。做到统一的除了“高潮”和“杀戮”，还有老太太和女孩的环形，对年轻肉体的渴望以及对衰老的恐惧。
老年人性爱也没什么猎奇的，就是很普通的猎杀片
前半段黄后半段暴，然而两者皆未尽兴，实属遗憾。片中有诸多反类型的设定：看似幸存者相的收音师其实是作死炮灰、邪教录像带不是杀人狂的注解而是女主的身世、南方乡下老夫妇并非极端保守反而欲壑难填…… 不过全片最反类型的当属“影史第一支有后坐力的枪”。看惯了好莱坞电影单手持M60扫射的桥段，这个结尾的小反转真是让人如沐春风~
妆发:★★
7.3(3⃣️)，复古气质非常迷人，录像带特有的粗糙感和情色视角反而提炼了更多的惊悚氛围，混杂着一些slasher的美学致敬，前一小时的铺垫段落中有些有趣的转场效果，而后半段的虐杀虽然仓促和力量骤减，却有血溅车灯于红光中起舞的惊喜巧思。虐杀的源头是欲望，无法继续压抑便爆发出凶猛能量，影片成功把对于腐朽躯体的畏惧和对于老年人性欲的避讳调合，激发出这样一种怪异的恐怖感/ 喜欢Mia Goth
在同类型片里还算说得过去，总感觉老太太是欲求不满靠杀人来获取快感
白发魔女传，意外的喜欢，所谓的色情恐怖片，台词竟然都很有内容，值得回味。镜头也很用心，细节讲究，就像片中的摄影师一样很有追求。竟然还用到了三次闪回切换这种情怀操作。
摄影蛮有想法，有那么些希区柯克的意思，衰老这个主题也蛮引发共情。。从救命解药记住的米娅高斯，这么有辨识度和可塑性的妹子，咋这么多年都还一直在恐怖片里兜兜转转叻？。。
不知道想表达啥 讲ageism 又妖魔化老年人惊悚片都爱拿老年人的性做文章 （同故事的故事）彩蛋比正片好 建议安排
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
《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。
磨坊电影的老饭新吃，经典元素一锅端（色情片摄制组、荒郊野岭杀人魔、宗教与电视媒介、池塘裸泳与鳄鱼等等），同时又讲了一些新时代下的主题，如色情电影与女性意识剥削与唤醒的双重关系，以及老年人的性心理。一些反高潮的处理也埋了巧思，像反派的意外死亡，跳吓段落的后置。不足之处是情节稍微简单粗暴了点，后半段视听表现很贫瘠。
整個故事真的超級一般，也沒什麼重口可言除非A片的拍攝過程也算？！ 但有些鏡頭還是可以的，衰老的描述其實還好，另外我挺喜歡這片配樂的
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
年轻的肉体真的没办法拒绝 老太太聊发少年狂。
