剧情介绍

  Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
  In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
  Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
  When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
  Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
  One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
  Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
  During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
  One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
  Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
  Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
  One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
  Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".

    彼得·汉德克有骂观众,而本片是咒观众,而正是这个咒一下子拔高了这部恐怖片的立意,那些互动以及最后隐藏的“恶意”十分妙,这些挑衅和冒犯也正是电影的华点,不要觉得晦气,只是在看电影而已,然而这个膈应的点也是这部电影最出彩的形式。从电影的角度说这是一部极其平凡且设计逻辑有很大问题不成功的伪纪录片,但正是这种冒犯的形式形成其核心,大胆的互动和引导让观众步步走入被诅咒的圈套,但是导演也考虑了观众的玻璃心,在结尾他告诉你不想看可以到此为止,可你的好奇心和不信邪的心让你停止了吗?所以有必要因此觉得晦气而给一个差评吗?看恐怖片的意义是什么?作为观众被谩骂和冒犯可以应激吗?恐怖片的效应不就是用某个概念来刺激观众吗,因此他让我们觉得晦气激发我们对“邪”的回避心,撕开内心的伪装,它已经成功了。

    这才是国产恐怖片正确的打开方式,最后的视觉停留手法简直了,沉浸感拉满,让我一度怀疑是不是错觉,还有一个最让我拍手叫绝的就是,电影中用中文台词说出:你叫什么名字?突然发现恐怖片语言沉浸也很重要,看国外的恐怖片只能从视觉和音效上感受,台词语言靠字幕去反应,这种视觉音效台词➕本土宗教结合的冲击原来才是恐怖片的正常打开方式,国产电影加油!

    (呆滞——)就好像…你最好的朋友用蚊子拼出了一副清明上河图,你一时也不知道是要夸他“挺不错的了,有做就有赢”,还是要说“有这点时间和能力你为何不去做一件更好的事”。两星半到三星之间,友情分我可以给到三星半。以及导演你胆子真的很大啊(也并不是夸奖)。以及其实可以看出导演本意就是想做猎奇灵异以及模糊日常边界的氛围恐惧。我觉得这两点他做得挺不错的,虽然用力过猛。

    当我们在歌颂时其他国家还有在拍社会救援挤兑所带来的人性探讨,诚然歌颂是应该的毕竟很多人在去年疫情期间付出巨大,但歌颂时的另一面:人性和悲悯,也值得去直面,微小个体在乱如草台的政策下看似错误的手段也同样值得被尊敬,只要出发点是善的。我们何时能看到自己拍摄出阳光下的另一面。

    民俗元素融入挺好,但这事情从头到尾还是没说明白……哪怕只是纯粹的恶。这小朋友跳楼又爬上来,按理说应该是被上身了,但也没恶灵怎么作祟……而且那个村子搞这个信仰又有什么好处呢………各个环节都挺莫名其妙的……实在圆不了。也就几张带血的脸冲过来提高音量吓吓人……- -

    佛母这类恶灵。在今天应该也会选择在抖音上传播吧

  • 稽笑雯 6小时前 :

    近年華語恐怖片音效設計的標竿,攝影很值得討論,在偽紀錄片框架下的攝影鏡頭相當有創意,有很多視覺錯亂的效果。排除劇情,這部會很滿足恐怖片愛好者精神慾望

  • 鞠晓丝 2小时前 :

    镜头不停地没逻辑切换实在令人看得又晕又烦躁,伪纪录片的形式不是不能用,但真的不要滥用,基本上又是个作死+献祭+亲情的故事,被说晦气的形式恰恰就是优于《灵媒》的优点,《灵媒》缺的就是这种联结感。民俗元素成了近几年台湾恐怖片的加分项,玩得越来越溜了。真心地说,华语恐怖片还得靠台湾。

    为玩弄观众的创意加一星。不过那个男的去云南的时候明明已经2020年之后了,为什么飞机落地后不需要隔离14到21天?

    正如评论里说的,你们看恐怖片难不成是图吉利吗...

  • 辉音华 3小时前 :

    从小就爱恐怖片的我,已经很久没看到能让我打心底毛骨悚然的恐怖片了,未想到的是这部《咒》竟然还是出自国产。气氛营造真的诡谲到不行,不是Jump Scare的那种惊吓,是被压抑不安的恐惧包围,一直到影片结束回到家还未散去的不舒服。再回想起从头到尾恶意满满的剧情,细思极恐说的就是这种感觉吧!《咒》是放到国际电影市场都毫不逊色的佳作,千万别拿它与《哭悲》做比较,真的侮辱了⋯很期待这位导演未来的单字恐怖片宇宙。
