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.
居然还可以！李红旗的东北话味道再浓一点就更好了
低成本 高效果 国产悬疑能拍成这样 很欣慰啊
其实还是比较简单的，但也算是国产片这个类型的开端了吧！
3.5，声音没有做好，没有任何打光，演技一般般……除此之外，故事本身看上去还不错！虽然是见过的设定，还是不断被吸引深入进去。结尾也很好评，虽然是国产喜闻乐见的美好结局，可女主也迎来了自己的黑化。 被好莱坞买了翻拍，只要你故事写得好，就算是国产网大也不会被埋没！
2.5颗星，没有特别新颖的地方，有经典的影子，但是也难以超出经典划下的圈子。
很粗糙，导演提出的 “空间悖论” 一句话就带过了，穿越方式也不讲，是因为导演自己也没想明白所以干脆不解释了吗？我认为这个问题和经费无关
不就是彗星来的那一夜和b站那个不思议系列里面森林小短片的缝合怪么？
国产版《彗星来的那一夜》+《恐怖游轮》，表演在线，逻辑自洽，既有科幻脑洞，又有动人的情感，还有人性的复杂和黑暗，国产科幻片能做到这一点非常难得了。值得鼓励，值得推荐！
浪费抄袭来的设定，内容太苍白。垃圾，也就骗骗没看过彗星和邮轮的观众。
很棒的剧本、演员和取景，引发了很多哲学问题，想不清楚那种，如果是我也会做结尾一样的选择吧
剧情就是平行空间那一类，但郑雷手法挺老道啊，三个演员，一片森林，拍摄剪辑氛围镜头语言都挺到位，音效差了一些，演技前面可以，后面爆发的几个片段有些不够成熟
没有尬聊，没有烂梗，女演员演技在线，男演员表演稍微有点尴尬，逻辑基本自洽，题材也是国产片非常难得的平行空间题材，作为国产片来说还是值得一看的。多处致敬《闪灵》的部分很喜欢，有加分。
6.9/10
非常中规中矩，解释的部分也显得太多，伏笔略显苍白
就三位不知名演员演出的这么个小成本制作，谁能想到居然牛了个x了。有似曾相识的元素，但又不一样，听说剧本还被好莱坞买走，有前途。
点映看完这部电影，有些震撼，一部难得的国产平行世界电影，无大牌演员，却用心讲了一个好故事，结局出人意料，耐人寻味。
设定新奇，结局也给人以开放和遐想，小成本做到这样已经比所谓的概念大片强太多，还是多多支持鼓励
如果抄袭是这个界定标准的话，是不是所有霸道总裁和傻白甜的电视剧都是抄袭🤭
小成本，美国买了版权翻拍。女主丧子之痛是电影的核心，定下了阴冷的基调，整个电影的环境，音乐都在烘托这种氛围，女主丧子自责悲痛，这种情感无处释放，在平行森林里寻找出口就像寻找情绪发泄的出口，稍走几步就容易迷路的森林更像是一个情感的漩涡，所以科幻在本片还是媒介，表现的还是人物的精神世界，就像女主看的《闪灵》。
