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].
“搅屎棍”这个词不是好词，但是我词汇太匮乏实在想不出来可以夸男主的词了，把他放到联合国，估计人类都灭亡了
北野武不完全回忆录
说话是门艺术。只有一个房间布景戏，话剧式的感受，主角魅力值max。不是裁缝，是剪裁师，凭一把剪刀走南闯北，参加过一战的男人，怎么可能简单。
意外的好看
看完也想去做一套了，经典确实永不过气。前面铺排剧情略微拖拉，整体节奏还是很好的，但是逻辑上总觉得，老裁缝的安全有些不可控。
真扎实的一部记录师徒关系的回忆片，电影的运镜手法和情节、细节让我梦回八九十年代的巅峰港片，影帝的表演更是毫无挑剔，神态像极了北野武，就是颜值高了点哈哈。
看过北野武自传《无聊的人生，我死也不要》后就会知道，他年轻时在浅草的生活可比这部电影里要燥多了哈哈哈。
三星半，明知道答案但还是喜欢看这紧张的周旋。
这种电影就是很明显地知道男主在扮猪吃老虎，就看编剧如何自圆其说，以及导演如何把控节奏顺带炫技，看完觉得二者都未提供惊喜，把故事限定在单一空间内需要个很巧妙的剧本，要能表现出高潮戏的心理对峙，拿裁缝刚要揭露杀人事实结果话锋一转这段就很小品，类似本山挤眼小沈阳说有还是没有那个感觉，老大全程也形同弱智，没有匹配对手，光突出男主老谋深算也没什么意思。
低成本小场景悬疑电影，这类电影很吃剧本，本片剧本有些生硬
喜欢这种氛围感，剧本相当精彩。
很喜欢这种小场景下发生的故事，对剧本逻辑和冲突的要求很高。每个设下的细节都回收了，就是装尸体的柜子没有以很惊喜的场景被揭开。女主的演技有点跳戏，服装也是感觉不属于这个场景。
如果把十三郎作为主角，北野武作为小配角，能挖掘出矛盾冲突远比一个头重脚轻的励志故事要好得多。时代的洪流，个人的悲歌，谐星的刻画，都是靠十三郎呀。
牛仔裤这样的时髦不会成为经典
英国演员真是充满惊喜
吊打中国新生代演员。最后友情客串一镜到底把电影推向顶点
北野武应该更突破的演一下自己的。
3.5。情绪断断续续的，可能和表演方式有关，总觉得在模仿。但看到最后吃酒拿高跟鞋的细节彻底破防了…
规范但不聪明，讨巧但不给力，从第二幕开始对主角“控制力”的刻画升级，然而只能说毫无悬念，压力设置平平无奇，甚至因为过于沉稳的表演而感觉不到压力，就是带着观众在看戏，这种戏剧性算不上好，甚至像是一次编剧转型导演的MFA毕设
