David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
还挺不错的，虽然有些套路在恐怖片里比较常见，但它绝对值7分以上。至于诅咒观众这点我真的笑了《午夜凶铃》、《厉鬼将映》哪个没诅咒观众啊，剧情需要嘛，至少我本人是经常看恐怖片的，丝毫没觉得被冒犯
后半段那个visual trick真太绝了，吓得不敢睁眼，但就算闭眼都能看到那个符
又臭又长，无聊透顶。这恐怖片拍得跟过家家一样。
鬼神的设定能不能讲究一点 请点民俗学家 有藏传佛教和日本佛教的形象参考 用的是道教的符咒 还是在宗祠里 很出戏。。。
很好，模仿痕迹太重。小演员没有镜头感，太强了
稀释诅咒，释放凶铃，假以亲情的自私悲观。密恐症者必看
看到这条评论友友们，点赞认同就会获得好运哦，让我们一起传递幸福♥
又一部点子恐怖片，导演有很多不错的JS但没能逻辑通顺地把它们串起来，经常出现马上要被邪神不可名状的地下通道吓到，一转场来到六年后完全不吓人的亲子日常。很多奇观像村里被串杆子上焚烧的人体、满身咒文站立整齐的裸男，也因为没能合理融入邪神体系沦为廉价的JS.女儿被附身的部分也不够诡异，可能未成年不能做到《灵媒》那种程度。关于信仰邪神的家族与现代子辈的冲突也远不如《灵媒》《遗传厄运》讲得好，因为女主完全是这个家族的局外人所以在“家族悲剧”这个主题下天然的冲突性就不够，主题只能转移到为救女儿/自己利用他人的同情心上又没讲好，不仅没让观众感受到母爱如山反而觉得女主既蠢又坏。导演给伪纪录片找了个合理的解释（为了能传播更多的诅咒）但是拍摄的时候又采用了大量上帝视角降低了真实感。
剧情完全就是为了作死而作死，强行作死，完全不符合常人设定…就这些人设，就是必须死的，最后还想不死…诅咒观众…-_-||就他们作成那样…不死他们死谁？~女主对着镜头说，你们都替我女儿分担这个诅咒吧，然后诅咒所有看电影的观众，拍的这么烂，还不恐怖…女儿都要死了，爸妈还在那拍vlog？？哈啊？？手机这么好玩呢？？什么玩意儿~真的就是没见过这么烂的……
向来都不喜欢伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，假装弄个手持摄影，结果就是吓人的手段永远都是镜头转动时突然来个面目狰狞的鬼脸。
我不喜欢开头那种故意为了伪记录设计的那些东西，我真的不喜欢这样的结局。
哎呀，导的有点磨叽，披着民俗外衣，拍得有点致命录像带或死亡录影带的神髓，但不如这俩个好看，伪纪录片我更喜欢折磨、致命还有巴黎地下墓穴，对，怎么还融合了无耳芳一的段子啊，过及格线吧就
我是真的有被吓到，我看过的恐怖片里面算前三的了。拍摄手法还是这几年恐怖片非常流行的手持。对民俗的刻画也很中式恐怖。还加入了观众的互动。真的不太能理解为什么一些人要因为女主对观众下诅咒而打低分。觉得晦气的话不就是相信了么，不就是真的有被诅咒到了么？难怪国内没有好的恐怖片。
顶着压力给个四星。其实当你相信了这一句咒语时，其实你就等于是导演给你讲的整个故事。就如同来到了影片的最后，女主说，接下来就是地道内的视频，估计有很多接受了前面一大段心理暗示的人，已经不太敢去看这个视频了。--女主在影片中，就是这种诡计性叙事的导演的替身。她也欺骗了大家。而跳跃式的时间线以及手持DV式的拍摄，都是为了这种诡计性叙事而存在的。这就能原谅了。
剧本就不太行，想靠打乱时间线来增加层次感、增进悬疑性，但任你玩出花来，也改变不了这个故事单薄寡淡的本质，不停地跳来跳去只会打断观众的思路。比剧本问题更大的，是本片伪纪录片形式的执行——拜托，既然要搞伪纪录片，每个镜头是谁拍的总得交代清楚吧？本片无数镜头来源可疑，让人难以入戏。最后的诅咒我倒感觉还好，毕竟人家提醒过你了呀~~
WTF？导演大哥你用两个来小时讲了一个类似"不转发这条消息全家倒霉"的土味儿网络威胁？你是不是特别恨你的"小天使"啊？那个佛母长得这么像戴面具的宇智波斑是向岸本齐史致敬吗？
2.5 作为一部中式恐怖片没有中式恐怖感，只感受到了10年前的qq空间里那种“看完转发出去不然你会xxxxx”的那种传播恶意。确实挺晦气，因为导演散播意图太明显了，我看到有人说不许吐槽晦气，谁看恐怖片是求吉利之类的。这两个有关系吗？我只是吐槽导演意图，你是在上纲上线什么？
细思极恐，剪辑缺陷选择性眼盲，个人五星。(含剧透)
看一半因为觉得既无聊又不恐怖而去翻豆瓣，评论说最后晦气，那就还是不看完了啦
又是一部低成本制作的片子，是极低的成本。这类影片要获得成功，一剧本二演技三时代，此片都不具备
