Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
其实感觉台湾闽系新生代大多对封建迷信已经嗤之以鼻了，换个角度看，就算内地影视产业允许这种创作，也会在民间带来很大冲击，现在只是网络观影就有很多人打低分是因为觉得晦气、被下咒。其实片中借心理医生之口说得很明白了——信则有不信则无。
逃生即视感…看完这部电影如果你觉得意犹未尽…建议你去搜一下主播玩《逃生》游戏的视频…
遍地神庙的弯弯叫好叫座，从小学习唯物辩证法的我们却各种“晦气!”。。。
感觉打高分的人是想传播诅咒，打低分的人是坚强地接住诅咒！
缺：伪纪录片最难的就是怎么解释全程都能被拍到、看到。这点也太出戏了！另外少点表现母女情深父女情深的画面多点对于这个邪恶宗教的探究不行吗？我至今还是不理解这6年女主怎么平安度过的，以及为啥女儿一来坏事也来了，佛母是从狮驼国取经回来最爱吃小孩吗？
不肯怂一场
两段地穴祭坛部分的视觉呈现都比较不错，会让人联想到伊藤润二《无尽的迷路》被影像化后的样子。
这个反转设计的就像曾经qq空间广为流传的不转发就会怎么样的那些文章/状态一样低级且无趣 不过作为伪纪录片来说 把互动感融入片中其实也算是一种创新 化妆做的不错 三星半
导演笑着说：大黑佛母和所有神像的设计和制作最烧钱，我们把钱都砸在这里了！尤其是那一尊大黑佛母是我们去找人做的，手势、咒语到符咒符号都是我们虚构的。不过能让大家一直问是不是真的存在的神明，代表我们的美术团队真的很厉害！”大家千万不用担心看完《咒》会被“祝福”啦～
很精妙的片子，用互动来给观众植入恐惧，利用视觉延迟来植入图案，心里暗示植入咒语… 等等。很少能看到上等华语恐怖片。说晦气然后打低分的是真的可笑，看恐怖片是为了图个吉利吗？只能说被拿捏了。
记得小时候经常遇到有一个把戏：路上有一个拴着红绳的卷起来的一毛钱，拿起来打开一看，里面会有一个小纸条，上面写着一个小故事，故事最后写着“把这张纸条内容抄十遍扔掉，否则家里人会出事。别怪我我也是没办法”。这部片就是这种。
还有，有些剧情真的很刻意，时间顺序也很乱，就无语
致那微博中的火爆与讨论
评论区也过于恶臭了吧，且不论你们看的是正版或盗版，一股脑疯了似的诅咒导演祖宗十八代的人是真不过脑子，别忘了这是电影！
评论里说得对，这片看到最后不是觉得恐怖，而是觉得晦气。
所在的城市没有感染病例。但是电影让我知道如果有，应该怎么做。人类真的是又丑陋又美好的生物。
台式本土民俗克味儿化，顺便开创了滴滴解咒，共享掉san的新模式啊。
开头我就知道女主肯定要害观众，果然导演恶意满满，都是小学玩剩下的，转发10人那种…全片就是不作死就不会死
突然很怀念传统的斗鬼、斗法的恐怖片，或是正儿八经叙事的心理恐怖片，对这种伪民俗、伪纪录的恐怖片实在接受不来，表演、镜头都是虚张声势，除了一些瘆人的画面，故事通常都圆不明白。
除去有点可恶……这影片手法上其实已经达到顶好的“恐怖”效果了
