David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
3.5 完成度比Sinister高，但惊悚度没有达到预期，比IT更加kids-friendly。好在节奏控制得不错，结尾也处理得很好。和《险恶》一起服用效果更佳。
前面略显拖拉，后面还是蛮精彩的，但是无论如何小学生是不可能打败杀人狂魔的，除非在电影里。
除了节奏随意，全员演技捉急外，对这片子最大的疑惑是：这真的是个恐怖片吗？
真是可惜...题材这么好的片子拍成这样..小女主那条超能力的线一点都不需要，除非你说听电话的能力是妹妹的，剧情稀烂，看下来就像在玩游戏一样没有一点紧迫感。
揉进青春成长内涵感觉可以的，与恐怖内容是搭的，并且很有趣，哥哥妹妹的形象也很动人
除了节奏随意，全员演技捉急外，对这片子最大的疑惑是：这真的是个恐怖片吗？
还算不太平庸的恐怖片吧，奇幻元素让整体显得更娱乐化了一些。
某一天要为自己挺身而出，那一天就是今天。这应该讲述一个男孩的突破与成长的故事。对复古怀旧的应用有怪奇物语的味道。缺点挺明显完全不恐怖，应该增加恐怖元素，反派无魅力，纯变态，很多超自然的现象都没有解释，可能只是男孩的心理挣扎。
伊桑霍克演了个啥？专门送饭的吗？
伊桑霍克演了快半辈子的boss了吧，今天居然被小学生反杀了。挺不错的，抛开剧情一些不合理的地方，挺扣人心弦的
复古的风格，淡淡的惊悚，前面的铺垫在结尾一气呵成。
“今天就是那一天。”
阿...这面具...进击的伊桑·霍克...
3.7！是我的菜！我就喜欢这种哈哈！要是拍成六集的剧就更好了，芬恩学习的过程可以一步步来。罗宾真的够意思我哭！妹妹太好了！被兄妹情感动到！全程居然被小鬼吓到了两次！！！我好怂！
兄妹俩通灵的设定让人很难信服觉得有点扯淡，很多小细节也似乎没有来由也没有解释，比如为什么grabber要戴面具，为什么要唯独留着这个男孩子等。电影大部分的节奏都太慢了，只有结尾高潮还不错，所有之前电话里的铺垫都用上了，小男孩反杀完从容地走出去还挺让人过瘾的。ps：这几个男孩子都很好看呀
得补充很多背景知识才能充分体会不少精彩之处，对于非斯蒂芬金or小丑粉来说就是一部十分一般的悬疑惊悚片了，但是，小演员们的演技太赞了
也很史蒂芬金，有很多金老师常用的元素。但是总体比较无聊吧。
2022 美国电影 恐怖 伊桑霍克 梅森·泰晤士 玛德琳·麦格劳
鬼既然能凭空移动甚至扔水瓶，那不能趁凶手睡觉干掉他吗？就算不用刀杀，下个药应该没问题吧，感觉这有点败笔
跟預想的期待完全不同（題材期待），是一部做得還算不錯的復古青少年題材驚悚電影，倒是很有斯蒂芬金這個類型的影子，不過直觀上前期大部分時間節奏有點緩，高潮結尾後又覺得很多地方沒交代清楚鋪墊不夠
