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.
虽然很喜欢荞麦和Jannis，但是片子漏洞有点多，这间谍工作做的太不走心了。但是不得不说网飞全球业务真的不错，德国人都是德国人演而且都说德语，比以前的让英美演员演德国人强多了。没细看演员表，八月出来的时候有点惊喜hhhh还是演了个欠打的nazi😂众所周知德国演员只有那么几个
张伯伦在对希特勒实施绥靖政策的同时也在采取重振军备的措施，以及1938年（或者说整个1930年代）英国糟糕的经济状态和战备情况导致其无力承担战争（张伯伦角色在电影中所说的台词“我只能打我手上有的牌”就是此意）——这些都是历史事实，反倒是令自从高中英语教科书之后除了微博博主文章就没读过其他历史类书籍的简中网友们大为惊诧了。“所谓希望，是指望别人出手做事来改变状况”，这句台词颇有内涵。
解读不同罢了，当时以丘吉尔为首的军队势力对绥靖政策一直持反对态度，应该积极备战把希特勒扼杀摇篮之中。所谓取得一年的战争准备期的同时德国纳粹也在扩充军备并且和苏联签署苏德互不侵犯条约并瓜分波兰获取到军舰兵工厂，英法所谓准备一年打出了个敦刻尔克大撤退？离谱
历史框架内的虚构看得人心累，毕竟不能像无耻混蛋那样把希特勒炸上天。
刚看完书来看电影，重要情节大体相同，但是缺少了书中细节的心理描述，整个过程也就不那么紧张和刺激了，甚至是反转都是有迹可循，没有惊喜感。
虽然看似主角们做的是无用功，虽然最后的战争没有避免，但不做怎么能知道呢
年轻人视角见证的张伯伦/绥靖政策与其政治生涯及生命尾声，现在看来反战意识高于一切。在普通人看来仅一年的和平也是如此珍贵。后半段非常流畅动人。
中规中矩的历史片，如果不是剧情过于戏剧化让人出戏，几乎可以算得上很有质感了。对绥靖政策的放在当时历史背景下的解读不错，但是张伯伦试图赢得战备时间就纯粹是小说原著的无力解释了，毕竟德国才是充分利用时间完成战备的那一方。
他没有资格杀掉希特勒，的确，希特勒在那时也是德国乃至整个欧洲问题的集中反映，现在大家都说自己是反法西斯了，那个时候不到万不得已谁又想撕破脸皮。历史终究不是一个个鲜明的观点和对立面。
张伯伦错了吗？我觉得没有，历史有时候很不公平，如果没有他，怎么会有激进的丘吉尔。
期待很大，失望就更大....其实对荞麦的期待还是很大的....看了一下导演原来是个德国人，难怪....德国人的电影向来相当的生硬.....男二简直就是一个德国马景涛....剑桥生被拍成这种气质也是服了....看在老戏骨的份上加了一星....
历史 但最终历史并不由他们书写 强国可以决定弱国命运 人类的欲望永远是征服 征服永远是发动战争 没有永恒稳定的和平 无论放在哪个年代 都是定律
本质上还是给张伯伦的绥靖做了开脱，他牺牲捷克换取的这一年，盟国真的做了什么有用的备战准备了吗？根本没有，这种腔调就类似某党斥责阿K不抵抗，但阿K说在常公忍辱负重之下，我们有了六年的准备时间，纯粹只是个后知后觉的角度问题。电影把慕尼黑会场那种压抑至极的气氛还原得十分到位，美中不足的大概只有演元首的演员简直是一点都不像，刚开始还以为他是演戈培尔的（后来发现他在〈帝国毁灭〉里果然是演戈培尔的）。。。
以前很看不起张伯伦，只是后来明白了一点，我们不能用后来人的角度和价值观来评判那时历史人物的决定。无论他信也好，不信也罢，既然战争无法避免，那能晚一些就晚一些发生吧，既然无力阻止豺狼野心，能少一些战火杀戮，就割地赔款吧（何况是割别人的）。至少他不想做那个主动挑起战争的人。关键的关键，当选民要求和平，就只能绥靖；当选民希望反抗，便成就了丘吉尔。德国小保罗，太幼稚
谈谈我个人的想法，希特勒一直被宣传成反派的极致，但我想他掌权之前。对周围的人，无论是他的上层，还是下级表现的都是一个极其美的能争取到信任的形象，让他有了实权之后。才会翻脸变坏！人，不都是这样吗？
不枉我等了444天（ps.荞麦和杰西卡姐姐二搭开心）
电影是拍得不错，但结论观点却很可笑。欧美的学者和政客一直在篡改历史，诺曼底取代斯大林格勒成了二战转折点，中国的抗战变成无足轻重，甚至不值一提，这两年更是甚嚣尘上，斯大林比希特勒还邪恶，这部电影把张伯伦的绥靖政策变成了远见卓识，荒唐的见识正是堕落的欧美现实社会的反映。
三星半吧，作为一个历史既定但人物虚构的影片，其实结局都已知道，只是为了两个男主的努力与白费功夫感到伤心罢了，张伯伦走下飞机发表讲话时，Hugh看着风雨欲来而决定了自己的未来，Paul回到了柏林，也准备为革命献出自己的生命，Hugh和Paul的感情太让人唏嘘了，本来也只是为了男主们看的，那个年代牛剑的年轻学子们啊。
电影其实质量还不错，如果没有结尾那几行“注解”，也许就不会有洗白张伯伦的争议了。
欧美也是这一套，坏的只是这个人，而不是反思制度
