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.
最近两年印度各种觉醒的片子拍的都挺好
选题很好，非常好，且直击社会痛点，但拍的冗长又乏味也是真的，偶有小惊喜片段，还算不错，三星。
这简直是泯灭人性
整体节奏还行，政治正确，但剧情略BUG，一整个印度拿一位妇女没办法
若法律不保护我，那就自己释放自己吧！我不在乎肉体是否干净，我真正在乎的是被强奸时承受暴力束缚从而失去自由的痛苦。
全片下来最震撼的是片尾字幕。希望这部片子能推动印度司法进程。希望不会再有受害者被迫衍生泛犯罪。片子给的很直，没刻意营造悬疑，这点是好的，但细节上的人员不专业很不好，表演力度不够，整体需要提升。
女性被侵犯，却要付出自己的一生去呐喊悲痛，付出如此大的代价才能换得国家的关注。
如果將妹妹改為女兒，感受上會更加虐心，但故事設定的基礎本身就缺乏合理性，所以是妹妹還是女兒就無所謂了。
陈词滥调哈哈，Sandra Bullock一如既往的Poker face。
电影都只是美好结局
深深的悬念，漂亮的女主，跌宕的剧情，持久的观感，好片该有的本片都有了，除了印度式歌舞。
这是一部观影后内心起伏的感受大于电影本身的电影。就是说终归它的现实意义是大于电影的。那些逻辑不逻辑的，我也就忽略了。
现实了？
拍的不好，故事显得狗血了，要不能和曼切斯特差不多吧？
【2022Movie12】「星期四」（2022）。一部优秀的电影，一部敢于对社会阴暗面发出怒吼的印度电影。⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
内容大于电影。在宣传上，印度电影逐渐有韩国电影那味儿了，敢于“自黑”。
我希望这样的呐喊被更多人听见。
苏州疫情下的观影•第9部
不是无药可解，是没在全国激起真正的讨论，上层领导者没有真正重视起来。都只是在惋惜悲剧的发生，但却没有行动。
因为印象更加深刻
