Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
可惜了，前面一大堆有的没的让一部优秀的恐怖片直接掉了一星，设计不错，中立邪恶的神的设计非常不错，献祭仪式再邪恶一点就好了，而且两兄弟作为邪神仆人神智没被污染实属差了点意思
鬼灵关上了她所有的门和窗给她留了一个石洞，落魄女反客为主成了诡屋的新主人。
差一点就错过了的好片，一开始被它的名字和好报给骗了，原本以为又是部浪费时间的低糙恐怖片，看了开头后就给弃了，后来还真是无意中在B站快解了这部片子，才发现它里面的大Boss怎么有来历，且造型如此别具匠心，重燃了当年玩血源或黑魂时的激情，这才赶紧翻回去看，但必须得说以女性觉醒为核心的最终呈现，能别把女主塑造得如此不堪吗！蠢笨、小气、贪婪、愚昧，好几次都可以一走了之却还是因为钱不得不回首，咱起码让她智商在线下行吗？不是神奇女侠或黑寡妇，但也别太悲惨世界了吧！还是说她本身骨子里就不干净？有一说一，这两年的恐怖片质量有些回暖的趋势，可谓八仙过海各显神通，尤其是今年献祭题材特别夯，制作上故事上也下了些小心思，希望美国的电影工作者们能再接再厉，门查卡先生真是不演好角色！
hey bitch what's wrong?
拉美风格，气氛好，制作团队内涵强。近几年，不错的小众恐。推荐。
伪纪录片迷 5星，恐怖片迷 4星。FUCK政治正确哈哈。
Eminem had that Orange rhyme thing covered
前面略微缓慢，估计是想为轼母的女主黑化与否做铺垫，稍微有点无聊，后半段开始有趣起来，包括真相的解开，女主被捉，以及后来的反杀。给献祭仪式中出现的恶灵造型点个赞。
点赞怪物造型！既然是改编自小说，打算去看看原著了，也许会有些隐喻？
原著的豆瓣评分很低，如果影片忠于原著，说明原著不简单，豆瓣评分人不识货；如果影片经过了大刀阔斧地改编，则说明制片团队有两把刷子。😀
反抗不幸的原生家庭和强权的核心内容其实还挺突出的，氛围营造的不错，可惜看的有点累，视觉表达不明确，要靠猜
年度最佳血腥惊悚片。预判错误，我预判6.2分~7点2分，大家应该都没有认真看结尾。但我没看全片，所以我还是将五颗星改为四颗星吧。
始终没搞明白与新冠有何关联，难道怕新冠怕到精神崩溃？刚开始以为要在新冠上做文章，后来又以为是在玩“黑袍纠察队”，最后才发现与邪教有关，是黑山老妖作祟。屎尿屁的风格在伪纪录片中并不多见，现在伪纪录片的发展真是日新月异，越来越多样化了，期待七月份上线的台湾电影《咒》。
女主舅舅发现不对头不应该是马上报警嘛，还去送死，这点不能接受;怪物的形象设计得还是可以;这个开放式结局不喜欢。
好看但也让人蛋疼……满满的pasta，要是有一个更完整的世界观就好了
No.One.Gets.Out.Alive.2021.NF.1080p.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H264-5/10
但凡女主嘴能闭上一分钟，不那么聒噪，也就不至于被怪物追那么久了。小破嘴叨逼叨，一个人还那么多话，真是烦。
小安呐，给巫女整个活！
怎么做到的运镜氛围场景都不错，甚至怪物也有意思，但剧情就是稀巴烂呢？啥都掺一脚显得格外四不像
献祭就可以治病？所以兄弟俩一直在献祭女性『可能女的比较好对付』。女主最后成功献祭，获得了伤口的痊愈，感觉她有一些想法『渣男遭殃』。
