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].
场景的布置、构图、调色和配乐都不错，情节也有一丝诡异、邪典的味道，如果把情节压制到90分钟，本片一定能成为我非常爱的电影，但本片的节奏真的奇慢无比，许多镜头也故弄深沉。
史诗级的模样，却没有史诗级的内核，虽然本来也没有很期待，看完果然如我所想...
二刷， 觉得值得5分。电影的改编让故事更合理
为啥找个印度人演高文。。。画面音乐都一流，就是过程略无聊了，还不如更往奇异惊悚上靠。。
Visually extremely pleasing, but content wise not so convincing. Dev Patel is hot though.
“捍卫动物的自由”，说得容易，做到真难。很多地区，连人类自由都还没有呢。
套用黑神话悟空的台词:既见未来，把头留下。
美术和光影棒极啦，但除此之外也没啥夸得出口的……
真传说故事，高文爵士的试验之旅，画面优美，情节隐晦，相比起传说本体，电影进行了根本性的改编。
画面没的说，很美，高文旅途中的一切都是这么奇幻不解，最喜欢的还是结尾：well done，my brave knight，off with your head。
分数：71
城堡内的改编太乱了欣赏不来，结局的解决方式倒是很不错，色调黑绿黑绿的，可以，这很不列颠。#
没有很传统的讲骑士精神，甚至带了点堂吉诃德的影子，看了眼原小说的大概内容，电影里面的高文爵士其实挺贴切，反理想化。A24每次都有惊喜，片子的摄影和美术做的很棒，传说的意境感是达到的。其实抛开文化差异，它也是个不错的故事。
Green is what is left when ardor fades,when passion dies,when we die,too.Moss shall cover your tombstone,and as the sun rises,green shall spread over all,in all its shades and hues.This verdigris will overtake your swords and your coins and your battlements and,try as you might,all you hold dear will succumb to it.Your skin,your bones.Your virtue.
啥呀。。。神话传说还是恐怖故事？啥也不是。。。
糾結了一下，還是推薦看，即使跟我一樣看不大懂內容的，哈哈。
6.0分，年轻又漂亮，不找男朋友，也不找工作，有钱有闲，猫狗双全，
虽然是很棒的动物题材，但可能正因为是动物题材，所以整部电影并没有非常惊艳，反而是该慢的地方一笔带过，该快的地方却多给了几个镜头。不过往好的方向来讲，影片想要传达的保护动物的信息我接收到了，希望无论是人或者动物，在这个大的世界都能享受到平等的待遇和自由的生活。
没有拍出传奇感觉，并不是因为独立电影不能拍中世纪题材，而是在音乐、剪辑、台词各个方面，影片都完成得非常单薄。
绿色是这片大地的颜色 是生物与生命的颜色
