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.
我立意很高，观众的欣赏能力也就这样，所以剧本什么的就随便弄一下就行了吧，前半段把观众的当傻子按在地上摩擦的剧情是真的让人有点生理不适感。但不得不提的是最后的落点立住了，典型的情绪流电影吧
人世间的苦难是什么，也许是你往往不知道失去了什么，却又一直在找寻着什么……为亲情宁愿含冤入狱二十载却无悔，戴着有罪的标签而负重前行，世俗中遭遇的仇恨之恶更似镣铐般举步维艰，在周遭的一切都与之格格不入，人与人之间哪怕是一丝一毫的善意示好竟也是奢求的执念。
太难受了，真的太难受了，有一幕我的眼泪瞬间就冲出来了，影片结束缓了好几分钟，学院是因为觉得sandra理所应当这么精彩所以今年才不给她提名的吗？
桑爪很赞啊，最后那个大力又克制的涌抱太难了。后半段她的几次情绪起伏都给我整哭了，执着地怀着期待，却被内心的痛苦压抑，无能为力的人生好无助啊，还好一切努力都值得，虽然let it go很难，但日子总要继续。结尾哭抽了。当然大神的配乐也有加持。
正因整个社.会习惯性的对一些声音置若罔闻，有能力者也习惯性的事不关己袖手旁观，才让施暴者总能逍遥法外，而受害者却要承受或许一生都难以愈合的创伤甚至干脆把命赔上。当谈及女人在整个社.会中要面临的处境时，它不仅仅只是女性意识的觉醒，更应该是整个社.会的反思。你希望自己的母亲或女儿能在怎样的环境下生活？希望她们被怎样对待？
这个国家的人装聋作哑，除非你对他们大喊大叫。
意义很棒，在一个星期四看了这部电影的同时有八个女生被强奸了
如果印度的女性都能像奈娜这样勇敢、聪慧又无比坚定地对暴行进行反抗，片尾那个令人悚然一惊的数字可能会减少许多。哪怕暂时不能实现，至少，一个女性的抗议通过这样极端的方式表达出来了，这已经是一种进步。
有戏剧冲突，有悬念，有反转，有演技，最重要有内核
很多时候也许不是印度电影牛逼，而是什么都可以拍才牛逼
很适合珊卓 故事简单 没有深度讨论 结局恍然大悟 影片只是呈现了一种状态 揭示了阶层的命运 很好 比天注定这种影片的表达更为含蓄自信 就是色调很头痛 时不时还会瞬间翻绿 这是在暗示铁锈区的命运么
两个🌟送给女主以及任何同鲑鱼厂有关的戏。这种剧本，戏剧冲突层层绕，本质是melodrama，人物是散的，甚至是工具化的，全靠situation推进，很美剧的写法，很假。sandra bullock爆发砸东西那场更是假…
单从电影来说，真的很一般，但不可忽视电影所传达的社会意义
拜托国内的导演不要翻拍，不要去消解女性的苦难。
绑架提诉求形式的片子，这次是绑架了16个幼儿园孩子…整体风格让我想起了误杀二，绑架现场，警方，媒体，群众，雨天，但感觉因为没平衡好这几者的关系和对主线剧情的作用，所以前一个半小时都显得剧情推进有点慢…重头戏在结尾揭开真相的20分钟，虽然剧情猜到一多半，但还是非常有触动…印度最新女性现实题材电影，虽然没那么完美，但值得被更多人看到~3.5
前面铺垫得女主太让人讨厌了，尤其对着妹妹养父母发脾气那一段。虽然最后还是泪崩了。
还凑合吧！说实话印度电影总是拍这么长真没必要，乏了。
诱拐题材新思路。这个国家的人都装聋，除非你在他们耳边大喊大叫，否则他们很容易视而不见。就是非要做到这么极端不可。
想明白这一点后，女教师的行为就非常合理了。
像韩影那类意义大于电影本身的电影，聚焦印度的社会问题，新闻媒体和官僚体制的探讨也只是浅层次的，更多是女性的控诉，以及这一控诉也因为前奏过长而显得无力，结局更是过于理想化了。角色必须伟光正的规则也使得影片走向了模式化的类型片，没有被逼入绝境的疯狂似乎就失去了批判的力量。当影像之外的观众没有看到行为只听到了枪响，也就等于把真相告诉了观众，因此展开的情绪是多余的，这也是电影的局限性。
