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.
每个时代都有每个时代的回忆和童年。很显然，我的童年和回忆与电影中的情节不符，主色调也不尽相同。
但整个片子感觉凌乱松散，没有紧凑感，观感欠佳。
It’s a dream but dream come true
甚至没有一个像样的字幕，可见话语权的杀伤力让你甚至连辩白的机会都没有。
喜欢复古怀旧风看了狂喜，特别是播黑胶的时候……
〖6〗导演客观的将阿波罗登月编织重造为自身童年之梦，流水账式带观众复习一遍美国梦的崛起与强大，试图还原对历史事件某种程度上的见证，不是为了主观上追忆旧日美好，而是留给后来者的辩证示意，在悲观存在主义下没有人可以从历史进程中独立抽身，生命的个体必将不可避免被其无情裹挟，化为抔土。
原来是导演对过去年代的一种怀旧，还以为是描写一个小孩子上太空的故事。我还是太年轻了，里面有些东西很难体会到，但一些观众肯定会喜爱
虽然电影不是纪录片，但也试图间接感受一下那边的氛围。军队、民兵、雇佣兵、特种兵交错在一起，还要消化一下才行。。。
乍一看是航天纪实，实际上讲了个憧憬明天的童年故事，真好
有些方面是有不足，比如剪辑过场有些混乱，拍摄质感也比较一般，但是不妨碍是一部很好的作品，尤其是被欧美个人英雄主义以及意识形态输出的掌握话语权的当下。
Richard真是描写少年心思的高手，他不仅仅讲述事件，而且让我们成为主角的邻居一样听他近距离的讲故事，成功地把我们带进那个年代，梦幻联动《灵魂乐之夏》，上月球重要还是救底层重要，这是个问题。父亲的侃侃而谈和少年的秘而不宣形成有趣的对比，结尾的 '记忆会让我们以为自己也参与了历史'也为这个亦真亦幻的太空梦做了暧昧的注脚。
曾经写过一个科幻短篇，是关于登月相关，后来始终写不下去，看到这部电影突然明白为什么，底层的文化基因差的太多，如果硬着头皮写，估计也只能写一些浮于表面的东西，羡慕那个时代，希望我们也可以有属于自己的那个时代
我真的真的好久没看过这么欢乐的电影了，影厅里人不多，除了20多岁的年轻人就是40岁以上的叔叔阿姨们，大家都看得不亦乐乎，好爱这种氛围。
那个年代确实是时代迅速发展的年代，我看的更多的像是传记电影，去了解那时候人们的童年。
对于2月份开始，当前仍然继续的俄乌冲突，此片算是一个片面的诠释。影片表达的比较直白，不拐弯抹角。平民被“乌克兰志愿军”屠杀，表现的比较血腥，但整体剧情比较流水。配乐也比较机械过满，单单只为烘托，不能恰到好处。
既然俄罗斯宣称，2014年或者之前在乌克兰东部发生纳粹式的种族屠杀。那俄罗斯2014年为啥占领的是乌克兰南部的克里米亚呢？
如果只是为了和大毛分家，所以一定要以种族来分？这多年，血液早已融合了，即使历史原因让这个国家曾经饿死了人民，你可以独立，如果只是一味的依靠敌人的敌人，不自立自强，只会在历史洪流中被淹没
虽然这部电影是关于美国六十年代的怀旧片，但让我无比亲切的是里面那些童年锁事勾起我这个中国八十后的很多回忆。尤其是有很多孩子的家庭，那时一家人围着黑白电视，跟家人邻里保持着亲密的的关系。怀念以前，真的很美好。
挨炸救人，再挨炸再救人，看起来很流水账，可这就是乌东老百姓的日常，基辅统治者造就了字面意义上的官逼民反。不过最后俄国人的天兵神降有点好笑，好似武工队艰苦战斗终于等到了八路军。
用Essay形式来讲故事。美国的六十年代和我们的九十年代差不多，所以看得我这个八零后觉得好亲切。
