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].
2.5/5.0 剧本太古朴加上有心无力感的表演，东木面子给三星。
雄鸡是硬汉，东木老爷子也是，从《黄金三镖客》到《廊桥遗梦》，从《不可饶恕》到《老爷车》，再到这一部，老爷子霸气，好电影便是如此，讲好一个故事，演好一个角色，老爷子做到了。
看着不累 老头走的颤颤巍巍 让我想到了逝去的爷爷
夕阳晚照，老爷子的心境吧。不过，这种美国老头把墨西哥孩子带回美利坚与家人重逢的戏码好像有点多，比如说连姆尼森的神枪手。
九十一岁的东木从业五十年，参加过一百多部电影的制作，可是总有一些人想教他怎么拍电影。
导演的拍摄节奏好舒适…莫名的就是很喜欢 🐓简直是点睛之笔
基本上是轻喜剧版的骡子，东木大爷拍这部已经完全是一种老小孩的状态了，轻松诙谐，拍电影这件事对于已经90多岁的人来说已经是一个传奇了，老牛仔风姿仍存.
感觉这两年老爷子拍的电影全是他自己想体验或向往的生活 但这部片子老爷子的幻想太无趣了
上次送毒品，这次送孩子！哪里跌倒就在哪里躺平，爱情不是物质的堆积，是心灵与生活细节的偎依
本来想给2星的，但是毕竟这么大年级了。从开始给羊看病开始就往很奇怪的方向发展了
无声无息的心灵之旅，牛仔会老去，但牛仔精神永存。东木大爷真业界劳模，老当益壮穷且益坚
大概就是铁汉柔情，另一种结局的《廊桥遗梦》，故事圆满了果然就不刻骨铭心了。另外这个小男孩一些角度太像24k goldn了。
温情柔软，哪怕里面的冲突场面也看不到狠劲儿，这种已看不到什么野心的片子对东木来讲真的是当乐趣在做吧…年过九十的老爷子还能一年一次奉献出自己对电影的热爱，这会带来比电影本身更多的感动。
“I can’t cure old” 但是电影可以 老爷子硬硬朗朗的
属于老年人的温存。但剧本属实是有些硬伤。确实就算是东木的忠粉这次也很难打出四星了。但是看老爷子这身体状况挺不错的，应该还能再拍吧，持续期待。
结局很像东木为自己电影生涯画上的句点，一个美妙到刻板、不真实的墨西哥童话故事。
老牛仔的浪漫故事，姑且原谅导演又把自己写成万人迷好了
雄鸡是硬汉，东木老爷子也是，从《黄金三镖客》到《廊桥遗梦》，从《不可饶恕》到《老爷车》，再到这一部，老爷子霸气，好电影便是如此，讲好一个故事，演好一个角色，老爷子做到了。
老了，真的老了。最早看的一部他的片子是火线狙击。
老爷子的这部新片不像一部电影，更像是一位91岁的老人在为你讲述他的人生智慧。
