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.
名作家骚扰打字小姐姐被告，法院传票寄到家里刺激了深受抑郁症困扰的前芭蕾舞演员妻子，导致妻子自杀还带走了小女儿……看上去很惨是吗？问题你作家和该隐有一毛钱相似之处吗？该隐是好端端被善妒的亚伯杀了，上帝才补偿给他伤害7倍偿还，你的妻女双亡跟被性骚扰的打字员有关系吗？就因为你个管不住下半身的成功人士一贯以为自己能随心所欲，后面的一系列骚操作打击报复更是把人渣本色演绎到底，这是什么天怒，明明就是人祸！导演把一个狗血故事包裹上宗教外衣就能美化犯罪者了？
这是一部从任何角度看都非常“随意”的作品，没有明确的故事线、没有明确的人物关系（有人甚至看完都搞不清男主和女主到底兄妹还是夫妻）、没有具象的归纳总结……导演通过旁观视角，让观众自行领悟人物的行为动机和内在逻辑。
美丽的、魔法一般的时间，在黎明来临之前随她一起消失。说什么成为社会人以后也可以延续青春的傻话，什么都会结束的，不是吗？爱情终究化作了罐装啤酒的泡沫，推动着自己向前的是不理想的工作，追逐不到“最喜欢”，连“第二喜欢”也是奢求，太阳升起后才看得清要面对的是怎样的人生。PS.结菜的“彼女感”过于完美，近似一场梦幻。
真正的躺平。从才开始还编造护照忘了的借口，到后面什么都不想解释，但为了完成基础生存和社交关系只能勉强签下字。家人、巨额财产、国籍，什么不都想，至于异国艳遇，不主动不负责不拒绝。导演可能也想通过零配乐，来告诉观众躺平拍摄是一众什么体验。
夸一段，骂一段。 夸：结构清晰，用三段正午的太阳暴力的将主人公按在自己命运里。每当出现正午暴晒的太阳镜头，我的头皮也好像能感受到烈日下的灼热和暴躁，导演就是想让我站着说话不腰疼，去指责主人公的种种“不负责的行为”。如果不是我过度解读的话，我觉得这个正午太阳有两层含义：1.是暴躁的观众体验，刚刚已经说了。2.是主人公对自己的期望，如果把日出日落比作人的生命周期，那么片名则是主人公的命运所在，正午的太阳则是生命最旺盛的时刻，正是主人公想停留的时刻。 骂：除了太阳的意象之外，我讨厌剩下所有的意象和一些新闻的播报的片段，这种处理的手段太过简单，并没有和故事本身去做很好的嫁接，只是在找补而已，强行推动剧情。 本来一开始挺喜欢的，后来越看越讨厌。
啊！我觉得很好啊，刚毕业本来就是会说啊，你会去干什么，我会去干什么，对人生都有满满的期待。然后也会去创造浪漫的际遇，人的附加身份真的那么重要吗？大家循规蹈矩的，走自己的路，那有人做了另外的事，就要把ta踩死吗？哪样的青春都是青春啊，这里的青春不能算吗？只能说是伤痛吗？我真的觉得黑岛结菜和他在一起的那个时候很开心。
我以为男主一切躺平行为是对于生活的厌倦，没想到你告诉我是癌症这种最俗套的原因。
杀时间完全没问题的小成本，一贯的乔·卡纳汉风格，仿佛《五路追杀令》再现，但无法达到前者的娱乐程度，巴特勒和格里罗的对手戏还不错，而且意外的没有以武戏呈现，话痨杀手也挺抢戏，6.5+。
这个不是男作家自己有二心吗？怎么会怪罪到女助理身上，不理解。
我觉得女主并不是电影里那样看起来起初就温良无害 她是有各种动作和心思 只是随着家人…事情发展十几年来都不正常 也许她的自杀才较为合理了。只是既然叫天怒，傻逼男主怎么还有了归宿。这个电影真的奇奇怪怪。
快餐情景警匪片。说实话，开始的几个警察没有警惕被灭情有可原，可是最后回来这俩，目睹地上一堆弹壳一片狼藉甚至还有尸体的情况下，依然没有及时进入战斗状态，是不可理喻的！
呵呵呵…反转反转再反转，可能你们眼中的大师之作就长这个样子吧。
屡次出现巨大的视觉及听觉冲击。开场时觉得无聊清水，但在男主留下之后剧情开启了一系列奇怪但又合理的走向。（P.S.男主既有中年男人的油腻又有少女的娇羞。
人行天道去对另一个人发起末日般的审判，可事情的起因是没有管理好自己的多巴胺与荷尔蒙，影片的结尾像是吞了只苍蝇般难受
卡纳汉的动作场面永远值得信任，不过故事就太老套了。
一窝乱斗！就一个反派，大杀四方，警察的警惕性和战斗力就这么低，确定是美国警察，而不是皇协军？
在反常规的情节里操控着观众的注意力。一闪而过的暴力刻画并未揭开墨西哥社会问题的症结
开头还以为是局外人。还好比较短，不然我肯定不愿意看完。我就想说，弗兰克，不要设置一些他妈的plot twist。不知道是想表达absurdity of life还是什么，并没有达到这种效果。屠宰猪出现在房间里那一幕还不错，至少有视觉冲击力。我的夏洛特呀…
我曾经幻想过父母去世，我想象不出来自己能做什么，更多的是逃避现实，让姐姐去承担一切。我差不多懂他的心情，但是我不会与他共情，好歹他还是个富豪，我啥也不是。
在他用尽一切形式后显得是如此刻意而矫揉造作
