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].
不剧透，太精彩！对咱们也有深刻的警示意义。
配乐有点太奇怪了吧？很好的剧本拍的乱七八糟的，一堆无意义的流行歌配慢动作，结局也是莫名其妙的，8.6分咋来的？？？
连豆瓣也变得充满政治正确而不看电影的基本素质了，立意和选题不能掩盖这部电影的硬伤，配乐明显是给电影院坐不住的印度底层准备的，这种出戏的无意义内容至少出现了四五次，剧情走向也是一团糟，本应该是电影高潮的庭审让人摸不着头脑不讲证据全是故事，不知道是印度司法体系真的胡来，还是欺负观众没文化，太不符合逻辑了吧
分给题材，叙事和节奏太乱了。160多分钟电影太冗长，前面一个小时太慢了，铺垫过长了，要素过多，一个都没讲明白。只能说印度电影都比我们敢拍。
印度导演们也太喜欢用慢动作了。。。去掉五首歌，去掉所有慢动作（勉强保留一两处）删减精简前半场冗长的情绪积累（有的是办法积累情绪）90分钟快节奏叙事，将会是一个更nb的电影。“媒体报道真相，还是媒体说的就是真相”这剧台词真心屌。
和室友看得一直wocwoc 反转好多 剧情精彩 又挺有深度 台词写得好好 印度人好敢拍
2个小时足够了，根本没必要再搞出那么多人和背景故事出来，把想要抨击的对象编得愚蠢并不是多高明得手段，而且，其实这种片子拍多了反而让人觉得在印度什么都挺儿戏，警察，法律，大学，媒体，公众，政客。。。。
怎么说呢，能拍出来就非常不错，能展示这样的过程，能有勇于认错的警察，能够倾听真相的法官，已经胜过无数，期待我们也能
印度文艺工作者的尺度和表达程度我们已经望尘莫及了。但这部电影本身我可真喜欢不起来。
越来越敢拍的印度电影，反转很棒。但想表达的点有点多，整体观感不如杰伊比姆。
反转来的很是突然。很久没看过这么酣畅的电影了。
印度之所以能拍出这样的好片子，还是因为本身社会问题太混乱！！！
电影时长真可以，本片最厉害的主人公电影演一多半了才出场。高分印度电影近年来的套路就是:通过应接不暇的神反转，埋伏足够多的隐喻，进而拔高电影的整体立意。最后被轰炸了几个小时脑细胞的观影者不得不感叹:看着虽然累但电影还是牛叉的。PS:本片适合放暑假的师生细品。😅😅😅
层层递进、振聋发聩、义愤填膺、感慨万千！！！
1、后面10分钟，翻转太多了
金句频出:

巧妙地把各种矛盾融合到了一起，就是BGM有点吵

要先把问题摆上台面，然后才有通过现代文明途径解决的可能性。
