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].
感觉每个娱乐巨星的成功和磨难都有相似之处。光环背后总有黑暗在攻击。黑人运动史几条线也在片子里略有交集。倒是片尾本人高龄出镜更让人感动。
可能是大环境经济不景气，这部剧还能拍三部😂，全靠卖版权挣钱
香港的监狱有闭路电视啦？那么想搞事更难了。想起几年前的躲猫猫等事件。内地的监狱是不是也到处是摄像头了？
3.5/5 decent biopic，后半段故事拍得过于零碎，让人很难共情她的挣扎和情绪。
「粗糙的山壁才最容易攀爬；相反平滑的山壁却无处可抓。」——向艾瑞莎·富兰克林(Aretha Franklin)致以最高的《尊重》。这位美国灵魂乐歌后的音乐、歌词、话语所展现的影响力将会不断延续。
周末观影。三部一起，娱乐性为主，最后看到滚筒一人在操场，有聚有分，有分也愿有聚。✊
你来我往，一会敌，一会友，以逃狱为名，却从未成功
刀疤有点惨，可惜了。
respect
三部打卡完毕 感觉还可以的 剧情属于能看得下去的 不知道还会有第四部吗哈哈哈
智叔遗作，游艇上一场戏足矣。如果陈家乐的角色有反转就好了。方中信最后的陈述很理想化。结尾太顺了。
越来越走向“贺岁欢乐温情兄弟片”的感觉了，看着很轻松，而且难得很明媚的监狱片。人物自然是刻板的，转变也有些突然，但对于判了三十年和终身监禁的人而言，可能确实会有些顿悟吧。有些人物也太工具人了。刀疤死前的演技确实很到位。别老想着讲大阴谋论，完成或者破坏一个事情就好了，电影和生活都一样。
还可以吧，套路音乐传记片，可以看一看整部靠女主强势的表演进行。
每一部的后面都很吸引，结果剧情真的一般般就第一部好看点
导演: 麦浩邦
肥花逆天的唱功弥补了演技的欠缺，成片质量可以算得上是传记片里的上乘。之前对AF的音乐略有涉猎，所以对片中出现的hits还算熟悉，因而也更能进一步了解这些音乐背后的故事，了解何谓灵魂乐。除创作历程之外还展现了她对黑人平权和社会慈善公益的贡献，愈加拜服于AF的伟大，respect！
Maggie Q 打女宝座稳坐，从赤裸特工到Nikita到现在了，一招鲜吃遍天。身材是真的好
除了发型和服装，没有一处像aretha, 尤其是音乐，这和她平时的唱法有区别吗？
很有港美的爽片！个人还是喜欢第一部比较多！
本来已经觉得肥花唱功震撼，直到片尾Aretha奶奶的footage出来，直接秒杀。电影的话，和Annette正好相反，歌曲足够经典，肥花也足够有才华，加上文戏铺垫，音乐部分情感冲击力很强。但传记部分有些松散，少了条人物发展的arc。
