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].
严华：低配苗苗
只是大结局处理的太过文字！差点火候啊！勉强四星
节奏偏慢，导致最后的反转感觉都提前猜到了，太慢了，但是还是有美感的
-跟随叙述改变影像设置悬疑，很有层次感。
摄影挺好，故事单薄，节奏太拖，演技不够，画外音烦人中的烦人
是从什么时候开始，大家对国产剧的态度变得这么宽容了？
剧情很好猜，两个小时有点拖沓，有些台词很文青很矫情…但是拍的太美了，意境氛围很不错，鼓励支持一下
结局有猜到。这不是电影版的猎罪图鉴。但是比猎好看呀。破案外壳的文艺片，整体节奏有点慢。其实回忆没必要太多。替换人生的复仇。最后居然还去甘肃了。白银案嘛？
看到片名的瞬间想起了石黑一雄1982年的同名小说《远山淡影》。小说也是一个关于自我欺骗与救赎的故事。远处模糊氤氲的山景混合着回忆将本片的氛围调整的刚刚好，严华对林音的憧憬和向往，让她可以成为她生命的延续，就像队长和画家也是一种继承。最后的芭蕾舞演出把从头到尾的氤氲全部擦去，泛出闪闪的光。这是我近期看过最好的电影。
悲伤的故事，戏里每个人都活得很悲伤。案件本身的真相反转没那么惊喜，真相揭开之后更显剧中人生之挣扎。镜头色调和光影非常美，国产悬疑里算佳作了，看完觉得还是很值
取名和拍摄都很诗意，可惜剧情和节奏都没掌握好，刑侦片又缺乏紧张感，悬疑片也没有引人入胜。林音的舞蹈员气质很赞。电影拍的有点食之无味，弃之可惜。
情节3星
画面的氛围感还是有的，时不时与片名呼应，如同一幅幅优美的风景画；可是这到底是一部悬疑破案片呀，叙事节奏比较拖沓，往事的闪回和日记的画外音没有将人物塑造起来，有点无病呻吟；严华不是找到林音的尸体了吗？怎么还会被野狗拖出来呢？她后来去广州了所以被烧伤了？可是她可以跳舞啊，还有很多关键细节没有交代清楚，这部片子可是有两个小时的片长啊。
导演算挺有正事。画面不错。时长还需要再减减。
7.9分
1.5倍速看完，画面很美，故事很恬淡，但看完还是没明白到底林音怎么死的，郁闷啊
是在好好讲故事。悬疑力度虽然不算特别强，但胜在故事的讲述娓娓道来，铺陈的节奏特别好。镜头的运用，光影的把控，都挺加分的，营造出一种淡淡的悲伤氛围。但如果故事能在前期把主角对自己对生活的那种无力感再加强一点，或许观者会在后期更强烈地感受到那种抹掉自己然后想要为他人做生命延续却最终无能为力的悲情会更能共情一些。个人觉得找主任那段儿有点鸡肋😔
人物动机太弱 节奏略慢 氛围到位 美术摄影可以
悲伤的故事，戏里每个人都活得很悲伤。案件本身的真相反转没那么惊喜，真相揭开之后更显剧中人生之挣扎。镜头色调和光影非常美，国产悬疑里算佳作了，看完觉得还是很值
嵌套的故事，重重的内涵，是反转，是选择，是救赎，但还缺了些《杀人回忆》那种独特的异质感。
