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].
小男孩一天到晚解构人类性行为就真的很让人疲劳。导演用猎奇的视角光明正大拍情色恐怖片，有种【哎我就是犯规我就是不要脸】的感觉。他知道观众会对什么厌恶和回避，也知道观众基于政治正确不敢把这些说出口。老年人需要sex，老年人也会想看电影吧，希望不会有倒霉老年人看到这个。三个女主角尤其是米亚高斯，确实让人垂涎，但她接这种片确实可惜。
情色、恐怖、暴力等元素的杂糅。可以两倍速观看。
色情部分可以，男女主角拼命的不穿衣服，可在真正大胆展现时，又犹犹豫豫的，血腥部分恶心，恐怖片的血腥可以再高级一点，对老年人的画面不太好直视……
ps：老年人的性爱是真的恐怖！
本来以为又是一个突破类型的惊悚片，没想到只是卖情色的铅黄。
题材引人入胜，情色入戏，恐怖入魂，可惜导演功力稍欠缺，后半变成无脑片玩脱了。
大尺度血腥画面:★★★
A24还是专心卖预告片吧，成品和预告完全是两部电影，正片既不porn也不horror，空洞且傲慢
题材不错，就节奏太慢了，好像还有续集的2部值得期待
「赋予行为以动机」恐怕是新世纪恐怖片始终贯彻的一个基本点，而本片在怀旧滤镜之外，试图挖掘出「垮掉的一代」的心灵根源，以及更大的人类共情——「生命的激情」，这样的情感的确是会变异成妖的。
青春年少，谁想过有一日会老到，连做爱都担心要命，珍惜吧、赞美吧、挥霍吧，这所有一切时光终会夺走的东西。
无论作为一部凶残杀手的电影或是作为一部有着“色情电影拍摄”为噱头的影片，本片的表现都非常让人失望，既没有独特惊艳的剧情发展，风格亦显复沓平庸，看似致敬了日落大道和闪灵，但这两部古早的作品，依旧是当今电影难以攀越的高峰。
emmm……美国的恐怖片大概都是这种套路了
暴力恐怖的剧情不算太多，从一小时后才开始的。老太婆看别人有的搞自己没得搞，于是不停的杀人，最后被女主杀掉，女主逃脱。摄影的女的明明有男朋友了还要去参演毛片跟别的男人做，那男朋友肯定接受不了啊。
恐怖片拍这么文艺要不得啊。看完后回过头来想，活下来的人是唯一没有当面说那两个人老了不行了的人。
看两个老年人的床戏确实是今年最恐怖的事情了
变态指数:★★★★★
前半段黄后半段暴，然而两者皆未尽兴，实属遗憾。片中有诸多反类型的设定：看似幸存者相的收音师其实是作死炮灰、邪教录像带不是杀人狂的注解而是女主的身世、南方乡下老夫妇并非极端保守反而欲壑难填…… 不过全片最反类型的当属“影史第一支有后坐力的枪”。看惯了好莱坞电影单手持M60扫射的桥段，这个结尾的小反转真是让人如沐春风~
比较失望，整体挺平庸的。本来觉得这个题材很有意思很期待，没想到被拍的特别无趣……前半节奏巨慢，好不容易开始刺激了中间暂停了一下发现居然都快结束了…………可以说导演本人就很像剧中那个想拍艺术电影，但迫于现实，从拍黄片起步的大学生。乍一看有两下，实际上还是眼高手低。结果也一样，说是黄片吧也不够黄，说是恐怖片吧也没那么恐怖。最主要是整体氛围特别割裂，明明视觉上卯足了劲要复古，两段突然插入的歌曲部分却异常的现代mv(无论是剪辑调度还是歌曲本身）然后故事主旨上呢又很想搞个大新闻，实际上很浮于表面，还不停疯狂暗示，生怕观众不懂。总之很一般，烂番茄评价这么高不禁让我真的开始怀疑现在美国人是搞zzzq魔怔了…………
是我没有耐心吗？觉得无聊…心里想 怎么还不杀人…我不喜欢特效老年人 很扯 两个人走路颤颤巍巍地老人干掉那么多人？女主也搞笑，老年团床上运动时，难道不该解决一下两个人，然后爱干嘛干嘛吗……
