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.
还可以，烂片满天飞的现在难得来一部还看得下去的惊悚片
我真心觉得，最后应该顺手给她丈夫一枪，反正男人都该死
结局还挺出乎意料的，一句话，靠男人死路一条，自救还得靠自己哦
相当熟悉的剧本，身处异国他乡的孤独女性，只顾事业工作的独断男人，还有一个四处行凶的变态杀人魔，几处氛围到位，整体流于老套。
3.5 氛围很足，老实说女性更容易代入之后感到恐惧，而男性大部分就和这位丈夫一样，所以说所谓共情其实也只是理论上的。
女主有点像凯拉奈特莉，唯一的亮点，实在没兴趣看情节发展是什么，很认真的讲一个这样的故事干嘛，去骗小孩子吧，
利落工整，剧情常规，主要靠营造孤独与空寂，塑造紧张不相融的环境，也十分考验女主演技.
不要一厢情愿度测一个女人的说法……
和老公刚看完，老公直呼解气哈哈哈哈哈，我觉得节奏太拖沓了。多一颗星老公加给氛围。
结尾像是导演怕观众说女主被害妄想症而强加上去的
把女性困境的无助感营造得很饱满，身边的男人靠不住，警察的助纣为虐，失心疯的错乱，如果没有抢，女性要怎么保护自己？
怎么杀手又不割头了，女主都血流满地还没死😅
在超市里遇到跟踪狂，不往人多的地方或者收银台走，反而往里面没人的地方躲，是个什么意思？智障？
剧终。
还不如偷窥者，起码那部烂片还有女主的大胸可看
听不懂罗马尼亚语也没有字幕时和女主一样懵逼的沉浸式体验不错。
Burn Gorman一露脸还会有人觉得他没问题吗（。剧作相对平庸，让它不那么差是因为一些细节把握得还可以，以及确实能让一些被尾随过的观众——比如我——有被trigger到。我也得进超市或步行街去把尾随者甩掉，我也曾经把这种事告诉朋友，结果是被嘲笑（surprise），或者听到对方说“像我们这种丑人就不会遇到这种事”。似乎他们觉得自己有在安慰或者出主意，就像电影中的所有其他人一样，结果往往是我们说了第一次，听到这种可笑的反馈之后，就再也不会选择寻求他人帮忙。女主至少有胆子反侦察
女人为何总是不安？女人为何总是发疯？女人的一生到底要怎样平安度过？请观看本片切身体会一下。
虽然很不喜欢女主前期的懦弱，但这就是本世纪全球女性的处境，男人明明自己迟钝还要职责别人敏感，还要按头让女人当疯子。女主很幸运，能捡了别人的枪反杀，我们呢？
女人要相信自己的第六感，出门在外要保护好自己
