The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
就这？
很久没有看过这么无聊的恐怖片了，当时看预告非常期待，以为是克苏鲁复兴之作，没想到呵呵
从头到尾黑乎乎的，故事也是没头没尾，女教师又蠢又多管闲事好讨厌，最后怪物被灭得莫名其妙，白白浪费我四张观影券。
故事太过于简单，想表现的创伤后遗症和人的贪婪这两个主题有点脱节...
实在是太装腔作势了，包括由大段长镜设计形成的迟缓的影像质地；旧时期人食人变成了现在的毒贩，笃信不疑的体制人面对“创伤”瞬间阳痿，结局甚至写得更干脆：他感染了。很老生常谈的现代化问题工具理性的质疑是拿来就用，用也就用块皮，就跟结尾的怪物一样，面上挂层人皮，但是人不是人是兽也不是兽。这场打斗调度也蠢爆了。
整体的内核和《羊崽》差不多，讲人与自然之间的关系，过度的索取自然资源，必然遭受到自然的反噬。但整体显得头重脚轻，草草了事，有点可惜。
剧情虽然老套不精彩，但儿童演技蛮好，吊打国内小鲜肉
悬空呕吐，恐龙尬舞，安保爆手，Mulder探员忆苦思甜，还有个无聊吐槽彩蛋，也许是Judd Apatow的最差导演作？
虽然摄影调度都是喜欢的风格，始终如一的冷冽寂静，但是本子改得有点一言难尽，给女主额外加的戏基本上都得扣分，更不用说最期待的怪物设定了。很可能有续集，但愿可以从民俗的角度多展开一下吧。
第三幕完全垮掉了，不止烂俗而且处理的异常随意。前面的双线叙事处理的尚可，一边是逐渐揭开谜底的限制性叙事，该有的氛围是做到了，另一边则是对观众的全知视点展示，戏剧反讽的张力也有，反而是结尾最常见的“异形”与人的冲突处理的最为失败。5.5/10
今年的恐怖片都是雷声大雨点小，又一部失望之作…
惊悚没多惊，反正鬼佬就是创造个恶心的人物就行了。
其实这部剧的剧情很好，但就是亮点不多，可惜
很的很好笑！（我爱《不要抬头》，但和这个比较的人都别装了
不知所云，故弄玄虚，故事就很简单父亲矿洞感染病毒传染其中一个儿子，另外一个儿子各种迷之作死像个智障害死n多人，女主全程酱油到最后靠主角光环杀死鹿角怪物，前中后期都很拉跨，硬要搞得那么复杂，还有病毒来源和缘由也没个说明，枪打不死靠插死就扯蛋...没看的别浪费时间...
期待了很久，发现跟陀螺一点关系都没有…果然是温迪戈那跟开头那段神神叨叨的话有啥关系。小演员真的很灵。
画面干净扎实，特效镜头不多，但故事始终围绕主题，效果好。
一般般，这种题材完全可以拍的更好，带上更深的宗教色彩，人性的贪婪什么的
概念不新鲜，过程也无趣，悬念早早曝光，欧美这些个恐怖片里的妖魔鬼怪可以写一本山海经了，小男主演的倒是不错
氛围感一流，雾气蒙蒙的俄勒冈小镇，森林与湖泊间隐匿着的矿洞怪物，导演太会拍空镜，以至于美得不像恐怖片。鹿角怪物的设计很好看，有toro这个怪物狂魔的味道了，但也仅此而已，靠着最最最让我讨厌的jump scared勉强让我维持住仅有的精神以不至于睡过去，剧情松散降智，能感受到导演似乎想表达些什么，但是又不清不楚的，弑父是看到了，my mom is dead 也看到了。Lucas他爹把自己关在阁楼一段甚至还挺感人，除此之外再没别的了。愿世界再无葫芦娃救爷爷，一个一个送的恐怖片。
