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.
我真的是看脸啊，菅田将晖（93年）和佐藤健（89年）演这类电影我直接选佐啊，佐半个脸埋在泥水里，这种敬业的演技就跟《气球》里面妹妹徒手去火炉里面拿姐姐丢进去旧情人的书一样真实，是啊，社会上面的种种不公平就是需要有人出来发声，但是自己该得的权利比如国家要让一个需要帮助的普通人正常健康的活着的基本权利是要得到的。就像我国冒领低保一样，日本也有冒领，需要的人得不到（理由不想给社会添麻烦），而投机取巧的人却拿着，冰山一角。
给砂糖加一星吧。题材可，但无法感同身受。犯罪剧情也很老套，叙事流于表面……
还没来得及看音乐剧，但是同为壁花少年本人真的有被电影感动到。可能很多人会觉得很矫情，但是男主很多情绪和举动我真的是感同身受，那种不知道如何“做自己”的迷茫，还有怕自己做得不好被嘲笑所以没有勇气面对生活的焦虑，还有依恋谎言带来的美好所以越来越深陷的无措。我们总是给be yourself加上太多的后缀，要自信、要独立、要坚强，但事实上没有人永远这么完美，你就是你，这样就很好了，看到最后真的好希望Conner真的是Evan的朋友。加上音乐感染力真的太强了，男主上台演讲那一段真的好好哭，摩尔阿姨的独唱把一个单亲妈妈的心事描述得太动人。选角真的有点别扭，男主的“丑”并不是问题，毕竟他设定就是一个不被待见重视的自卑男孩，但是他看上去真的好老…老到能做女主爸爸了…
不知道为什么要唱，出戏得要命。Kaitlyn Dever 真的好可爱好可爱啊！AA跟摩尔阿姨对戏那一场，仿佛还是逊色了一点点，也可能只是角色气场的不一样吧，也可能只是因为我更喜欢摩尔阿姨的唇纹。
故事被打的支离破碎，纯粹是因为音乐的力量让人振聋发聩，埃文汉森这么好的剧本怎么能拍成这样，虽然我依旧哭成了泪人。我真的好喜欢好喜欢里面的音乐。
改编算是及格，虽然故事被简化了不少，但核心保留了。DEH本就是近几年少有的比较深刻的戏，其直面死亡与秘密，全戏几乎所有的感人画面都来自于谎言，Best case，已经在戏中呈现，可是大多数情况下，死亡依然孤寂，秘密则永远被埋葬。Ben、摩尔的表演很精彩，妹妹的饰演者也逐渐成熟了。虽然是无法进剧院的解渴之作，但还是要感慨，电影比起戏剧来。能呈现的内容实在少太多了，正如戏剧与文学相比时一样。
1. 地震的恐怖與後果只有感受過的人才能體會
该怎么说呢...对热爱原剧很期待电影的人：降低期待值吧没那么好。对外网的疯狂吐槽和差评：倒也没那么烂。三星半吧
以为是《小偷家族》那样的类型，没想到最后反转了。力度不够。
看过音乐剧，电影还算是比较还原了。歌曲很感动，新加入的anonymous ones也很好听，让Alana这个角色更立体了。但果然每次看都觉得结尾好可惜，果然参杂了谎言的爱情无法持续吗？表面上相敬如宾，实际上连朋友都不是了。电影里Evan努力找到的Connor的歌算是小惊喜吧。
没猜到凶手，宽叔角色还是走不出加贺，おかえり那里泪目了，日本人也真冷漠，嘴上说是没有血缘的一家亲，抱着哭哭啼啼，是经历过生死的至交吧啦吧啦的。如果能常打个电话，也不至于让老太太饿死在家里……小女孩被领养了不方便，那砂糖那个角色哪怕再多做出一点点，老太太就不会死。可能是中日两国观念不同吧…不懂，大不懂…考虑到老太太的尊严，哪怕不给钱，你周末多送点菜不成吗…二十一世纪怎么还能饿死人呢
果耶妹妹凌厉、恨意燃烧的眼神确实很有力！
这部电影告诉我们不要用公用的打印机打印私人的文件。我曾经差一点用办公室的打印机去打一封我心理医生的邮件但还是没打，现在想想我可能躲开了一起血案也不一定。
音乐剧不会也是这样吧？这电影确实没啥意思，主角的错误很难被原谅，观众怎么可能因为你有心理问题就宽容你呢？
3. 只有一起同甘共苦 見證生死過後方才見真情 而這有那部分的人自己才懂 也不需要其他人理解了
not half as good as I had in mind
虽然有种强行灌心灵鸡汤的落入俗套感，但还是有点被感动到。
想看纯粹推理悬疑的可以忽视，因为推理可以说没有，案件来说很简单，很社会的一部电影，个人不太喜欢社会派，就从普通电影的感觉来说吧，叙事好乱，有点跳戏，几个矛盾冲突其实设置的蛮好，但就叙事的散乱导致没能使情绪更好的投入，如果不是演员的细腻的演出真的救不回来了，最后的反转虽然觉得能圆回来，但就是刻意感满满，有点生硬。
纯粹是因为我爱的日剧男主几乎聚集在从剧才看，砂糖，小林子，瑛太。但剧情就实在。。。
如果没有疫情，去年五一就应该在西区看这部了😢自我安慰：反正西区也看不到Ben Platt的卡司，电影总归比剧场盗录版强多了。但一直怼脸拍真的没必要... P.S：Connor的书单有小王子&深夜小狗欸
