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.
属于阔老太花钱哄自己玩 怎么还有人被感动到？如果是免费的我就稍微感动一下下
很欧洲的片子，什么题材都要立意深刻，上价值。虽然……但还是被退休年龄段的老太与90后年轻小鲜肉的这对30多岁年龄差的大尺度震惊到了
没有这样的鸭子，多看看霓虹男公关的故事，好看的是好看的。
男主有点帅，拍得很好笑！确实一些难以启齿的正常需求不会得到正视，regulated and safe太理想了哈哈
跟黑人混血小伙子约了4次后，女主身体力行地告诉我们，女人当自强啊，orgasm这事儿，我们还得靠自己啊！当然，这只有女性导演和编剧及女演员懂，男人本人无法理解！最让我震撼地是最后南希正面全裸看着镜子，这几乎是2000年以来影史最为震撼的镜头之一了，一个50岁女人的身体，她乳房下垂、腹部臃肿，可这正是生育过女性的正常状态，又有几个人可以像詹妮弗洛佩兹？！Leo小哥以一人之力抬高了整个业内标准，即使如此彬彬有礼的男青年，他一旦发起怒来，也足以致命！最后一次见面时，老师居然给当年学生道歉了，多少学生这辈子都等不来老师的道歉啊，这也是圆梦了！女人享受肉体，是不是就总有这么多顾忌？总想了解对方，与对方建立亲密关系的假象，让自己觉得不是在买春？！男人就没有这个顾虑！
bravo！！！那么伤痛的故事这么欢快的基调！tonight we honor what we lost, but we also commemorate what we found. 转场好赞，全员厉害，好爱女机长！I'm an islander太洗脑哈哈哈
可以作为妈的多元宇宙补充了，比前者更真实一些，“不要假装你是年度最佳母亲了，你根本不在乎我生活的真相”。男女主各自完成了人物弧光，艾玛汤普森这么大年纪还漏点，未经修饰的身体与那代人。
elegant, beautiful.很真诚坦率的一部作品。
竟然被治愈了；头两幕感觉差一点就黑镜了，男主过于完美仿生人，没想到第三幕精准打击，牛逼；所有演员都应该看看什么叫演技
白左昼颜刻板印象：黑人-性能力，爱尔兰-保守天主教。。上世代女性的内心矛盾、戏剧冲突和和解都不很能共感，高开低走。支持大荧幕更多的女性叙事，感谢艾玛汤普森激情出演，男孩好帅。@odeon guildford with chi
Something has changed, something has remained, something we lost, something we gained, while something we've never truly learned… Peace&love或许可笑，但它存在过，也将一直存在。
女人在性上的禁锢太深了，这是社会给我们扣上的，也是我们自己扣上的。希望我们不需要等待老去的时候才敢去解开它。
跟在《超脱》之后看这片儿的感受更加奇妙，相似的议题元素，相反的观点态度，活一世究竟是灵魂和肉体的相互“抽离”还是彼此“接纳”…最后这个女人美到发光…高潮是自己给自己的，堪称最妙…
精彩到想要全文背诵。100分钟欢乐与感动的交织，更为可贵的是故事背后一个个鲜活的真实的个体。剧组仅用12名演员、12把椅子、2张桌子就将5天7000人在甘德镇上经历浓缩演绎，剧情流畅、转场自然，舞台调度令人折服。歌曲演绎也同样出色，几乎每一名演员都得到了充分展现个人才能的机会，对于各类乐器的运用和气氛的烘托也相当到位。以真实故事为背景打造的剧本，用令人信服的方式展现了小镇居民的热情好客如何冲破语言、文化、宗教的隔阂，描绘一幅灾难面前深入援手，毫无保留给予支持的感人画面。官摄唯一的遗憾恐怕就是在整体节奏的把控上，似乎有意做了放缓处理，相较几年前发布的原声专辑，听感有所下降。
脑子里思考了一下, 再组织一下语言. 这确实只是一个一般的片子, 败笔在于结尾两人快速转变, 并教育起"服务员"(观众)来. 落了下乘. 当然不是说不可以教育, 而是有更高明的手法, 以及前面对于最后的观点输出应该是层层铺垫递进的. 当转弯这么快时, 前面的故事性就不好评价了, 你说当我去欣赏故事的娱乐性时, 后面突然给我上课, 你说当我准备去接受你的思辨时, 那我是不是看看结尾就够了?
这部电影证明了我自己是一个卓越的女性。我的宝贝儿会是那个他吗？
Goodbye and good luck to you~~
各方面都很出色的一部片，就今年看过的片子，它的精彩甚至不输给妈的宇宙。希望大家都可以任性地选择爱自己多一点，以及多给自己挣（攒）钱
当它就在这里，触手可及的时候。”
《爱在酒店买性时》-我为自己的工作骄傲，我真的很喜欢工作时的那种感觉。-那为什么你要对你的亲人隐瞒呢？
