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].
如果一个人看起来就是厉害的角色，怎么躲藏，如果看起来就像是憋着什么，也不合适。
他死前给儿子上了一课
这个西部片好看。 喜欢这个儿子。好勇。不喜欢无辜人员的死扣一星。
用刀明显更帅。处理尸体就是喂猪，太生猛了。
窝囊老农是个狠角色，剧情略显拖沓，几个罪犯还是不够狠啊。
味道不错，有时代感，特别是对西部片质感无法抵抗，借着比利小子的故事讲了个农夫与蛇的故事
看的时候想起藤泽周平的武士小说，默默无闻的小人物，受困于艰辛生活，性格懦弱，被家人看不起，但其实是一个身怀绝技的侠客！
四星，平静的杀人，平静的死，像极了多数人的一生。
四星不值，三星可惜。拿来当打牙祭还是不错，不无聊
三星半~
课代表：即使你是成名已久，业界专家，金盆洗手的大佬，还是要谨记，没事别做烂好人，不要多管闲事

西部片还是很耐看的，在隐忍中爆发，电光火石之间局势逆转
拓荒精神下的孤胆英雄，有些科恩兄弟《大地惊雷》的影子。事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。想起戈达尔说的那句：一部电影只需要一步枪和女孩就够了。我也超想拍酷女孩枪手的故事。
欢迎回到原味西部，像真人版《荒野大镖客2》的小样。
西部片已经不只是一种电影类型和讲故事的方式，更是一种情调和审美——Old Henry这种看似长篇的前戏铺垫（也包含了典型的西部要素：警匪、劫案、荒僻、追杀、拓垦...），其实蛮严格地在平缓里穿插了一个个关键情节的小爆点，如同烹小鲜般的节奏控制——最后的大战一展包袱，1v8火器+冷兵器相当利落，就连转折之转折都是既可意料又略意外...反正我是都预料到了，哈哈哈~就爱看这种“事了拂衣去深藏功与名”但又在某些特定情况时机下“一爆灭所有”的戏剧方式。PS，某个豆友讲到西部片已经变成承载美式尚武精神的载体，很对。
西部片就是美国人的武侠片。一个金盆洗手的江湖高手，却不料再次卷入江湖仇杀当中。这样的剧情是不是就熟悉多了。从西部片横向比较其实比较普通，胜在干净利落味道纯正。
再现了克林特伊斯特伍德的西部时代 整片可称为西部片中的《老枪》
作品很西部，比较复古，确实在流行炫技立新的当下，这样的作品并不多见。
一个半小时可以拍的比较紧凑合理已经不错了 没有浪费时间的一部片子
