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.
在吐槽中和朋友度过了愉快的两小时，远离网大，我记住了。
后半部分完全没什么用，看的人恹恹欲睡，全片有点故弄玄虚了，警察角色也不讨喜，过于暴躁了。
Bug一堆，不过用心拍剧情片的电影导演也不多了
意料之外的好！虽然是网大，已经超过绝大部分国产院线电影了！
作为一个网大来讲，已经非常的棒了。但是电影终归是电影，不能因为是网大，就降低评价的标准，可以看得出来，摄影和美术都很用力，虽然有些戏份的处理可以更好，但终归电影是遗憾的艺术。这部电影差在剧本，虽然已经是很难得的剧本了（在中国商业电影市场），但几处戏份的断裂是可以看得出来的，整体来讲，是一部不错的作品，放在院线圈里，也在中上游了
文艺罪案片。其实可以不用画像师，就普通刑警也可以
芭蕾舞的优美气质确实让人感到身心愉悦，举手投足之间，将身姿展现的淋漓尽致，人的故事也扑面而来，文艺的气息非常浓厚。
5.3，摄影品味不俗，美术可以过关，但编剧和导演真的很拉胯，编剧bug遍地，导演不知道哪儿下机位，不知道该用谁的视角讲故事，不知道一场戏里应该关注谁跟谁，空镜不是分隔符，空镜是叙事，有表意的好吗？剪辑就是一通胡剪，最不要脸的是宣发，什么“我们错过了戛纳”……要点脸可以么？戛纳跟你有什么关系？下作！
还不错，就是一开始画家是怎么画出严华的画像的有点儿说不通
后半部分完全没什么用，看的人恹恹欲睡，全片有点故弄玄虚了，警察角色也不讨喜，过于暴躁了。
文艺片式的悬疑片，作为小成本电影已经非常好啦，节奏很细腻，灰调的光影，私心非常喜欢这种连接陈年旧案的故事
情节3星
悬疑文艺片 画面有质感 内容虽然可能会有猜测到结局 但逻辑算自洽 情感丰富
美术年代感营造得不好，细节各种穿帮。故事立不住，节奏也不好
在现在的国产片里已经很不错了！不论是节奏还是叙事很连贯！
整体的摄影、画风、构图，都很有岁月感，镜头都很唯美，转场也很流畅，故事叙述很清晰，两个女人之间的情感也很细腻。整个故事推理逻辑就不说了，可能重点在于揭开一个背后的故事吧，反转很可以，还是值得一看吧。
当成文艺片看还行，当成悬疑片看，破绽太多。
整个电影画面的色调都有种水墨画渲染的氛围，真的像是电影名字给人的感觉似的。剧情来回反转，虽然都可以猜出结局，但是还愿意听导演亲自把故事讲完。剧中严华在幕布后面看着舞蹈演员的影子跳舞，像极了网传一张图片：3岁小男孩看着自己superhero 的倒影。
略显沉闷。铺垫的比较久，叙述还不是很清楚，特意悬疑，只为最后那一下反转
只是大结局处理的太过文字！差点火候啊！勉强四星
