Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
相比之下打花那部不就更好看了。果然亖人纯爱不是我的风格。有句话挺俗挺喜欢的，“能遇到自己爱的人，简直就是奇迹”，奇迹什么时候降临在我身上呢？

如果说温子仁为了迎和当下观众的「恐怖审美」而自甘堕落到这样的水准简直是自毁招牌，而且这个故事的内核——一个男性怪物隐藏在女性身体内肆意作恶，最后需要女性的「自我觉醒」来除恶也太媚俗，而从故事到近于白痴的表演都是简单而幼稚的。
我不得不吐槽坂口健太郎拄拐的演技 从我近期拄拐来看 肯定没有把自己当成一个瘸子来演 关于电影 就是普通文艺能猜到的剧情 可是这个颜值 反正我是不要啥自行车了
剧情是那种看了开头就能想到结局，平平无奇的。但我实在太吃小松菜奈的颜了。剧中配乐也好好听。
【B+】当然是低配版的柯南伯格，也同时杂糅了帕尔玛那部《姐妹情仇》的核心设定（当然除去设定之外相似的也就那几个缓慢变焦镜头）。对身体的异化处理和柯南伯格相比确实是小儿科，但温子仁显然意不在此，真正作为核心的仍然是“观赏性”。在对类型语境的娴熟摆弄中，通过技术进步和凝练节奏来让那些被桎梏于腐朽躯体的点子重获新生。警局屠杀便是证明，《速激7》和《海王》的经验成功反哺于此，360°旋转长镜头与血腥虐杀的场面简直绝配，而背向杀戮的动作设计也是对《驱魔人》的创新再利用。让一切视听技巧为“观赏性”而服务，让B级恐怖片附身于类A级的动作段落，一切只为观众们的欢呼，实诚至上！
故事简单，套路，后面还有点冗长，不过我关注这个片是因为，这个病，跟我爸的几乎一样，就很难过，希望他也能还有十年。
过了半年终于在中国上线了，看到茉莉闭上眼幻想着以后嫁人生子的情节真是太好哭了。相机拍下樱花的画面贯穿始终，很唯美，好想和喜欢的人一起去赏樱，一起去天空树啊！
一开始以为温子仁是故意追求2000s那种B级片质感，演员的演技也是“故意”演得那么“差”（女主、妹妹、没什么鬼用的hapa男主加浮夸的black female detective），我还觉得很玩味，以为是在反讽类型片呢。可耐着性子看完整部真的只能用就这就这？？来形容，整体跟early千禧的美式低成本恐怖片没区别啊。body horror也不恐怖，只能用awkward来形容。太土了。土到绝望。
剧本一般，框架命题里中规中矩的表达，但导演和演员真的一骑绝尘，不靠戏剧技巧完全是情感和氛围打动人。 未实现的梦，对生的渴望，对死的无力。 其实是一个非常有性格的女主，只是现在非常白描的拍法没有呈现太多。
故事本身就是催泪的，虽然剧情并不出彩，但是很多情节都设计得很好，声画出色提升氛围感，几度泪崩。
片名和女主在母亲肩头哭泣那段是最佳 整体很一般 但是还是哭了好多次
nana和坂口仅仅站在那里就想让人一直看下去
刚好前几天看到一个类似的新闻，女孩以为自己肚子长了瘤，结果……作为温子仁的作品，只能算正常发挥吧。完整版的几个血腥场面还是挺凶的。后面有些许大卫柯能堡的感觉。
生命假如真的设置了倒计时，人们会怎样活着呢？想起那部名为《一分钟的生命》的短片，一边是倒计时的催促声，一边是长长的未做清单……P.S.谁能想到十年后是疫情世界呢
情节真的很俗套啦，但是哭的我脑子疼......恋爱的情节太悲苦，子弹里捡糖吃......让我找到活下去的意义的那个人却先一步离开了，为什么偏偏是你？为什么偏偏是我？
配乐似乎借用了Pixies的Where Is My Mind，剧本其实非常有趣，铅黄、鬼宅、动作片、身体恐怖（柯南伯格、帕尔玛之外，还想到格德勒《恶神》），繁复的外壳包裹简单故事，情节在各种恐怖类型中无缝切换，但最终效果实在令人不敢恭维。帕尔玛式pulp故事确实很能检验一个导演，同样爱用镜头炫技，帕尔玛、阿基多都是为了悬念服务，而到了温子仁这里，精致华丽的俯拍、倾斜、越肩长镜就成了拖沓累赘的漫长趣味展示，放在动作片里还算恰当，而在恐怖片里，就既不中看也不中用。恐怖形象方面，温子仁（和他的朋友们）似乎已经再也离不开“扭曲人体”这一个创意了。
温子仁是中了《速激》的邪，也开始搞family这套了……
致命ID之篮子里的恶魔 倒着走的兄弟太诡异了 果然意志力才是关键 内部纠纷要靠自己摆平
总体来说一般 但合格了
