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.
1.女主老熟人了，但是看到她一人分饰两角还是有被惊到！2.看的过程总是害怕老太太突然变脸or大笑，或者是搞贴脸杀之类的，结果竟然都没有……她还跳了一段舞！她还和老头子啪啪啪！她低声下气求欢，对肉体衰老无奈，看到这里我确信这是一部不一般的恐怖片，顿时肃然起敬3.此主题太过现实向，作为恐怖片有点萎
简洁利落，话不多说。反类型，却又在色情恐怖化与恐怖色情化的反复中互文。嬉皮士与清教徒，青年与老年，矛盾看似来的毫无来由，但这恰恰是嫉妒与恶的集大成者。
剧本真的不错，我相信代表了不少老年群体的心声……制片人眼光也不错，这小姑娘确实能火。结尾让影片一下子从灰调变为红调，的确，我也终将失去一切美好，但在那之前，我就是比你屌。

一群拍小h片的碰上一对病态夫妻的故事，没想象那么精彩，氛围有时候刚出来就没了，要h没h彻底，要血浆也没多少
在同类型片里还算说得过去，总感觉老太太是欲求不满靠杀人来获取快感
A24是不是也像银河映像似的有个杜琪峰那样的人？
all about desire，很好。
饥渴的老头老太是恶魔。虽然故事和千篇一律的乡下虐杀片没啥区别，但片中的音乐音效相当有品，就和里面有追求的年轻小导演一样，排出有品味像法国电影一样的独立毛片。
从表演和镜头语言到插曲全都俗不可耐，结果end credit一出看到执行制片有某Levinson，不好意思是我没搞清楚状况才会想要看这片的
并不行。A24惯常的质感，剧本是旧瓶装新酒(德州电锯杀人狂)，惊悚点都非常套路(一个接一个送人头)，几处对比都过于直白不高明。
影片看完居然觉得有些悲凉，那个不甘失去青春年华美好肉体的变态枯槁老妇，和那些趁着青春肆意挥霍的几个年轻人。剧本设定有些程式化，不过也算得上是一部合格的B级血浆片，多一星给Mia冷冷的颜。
仍旧是公路惊悚片的套路，标配都是一群有男有女的小年轻+农场变态杀人狂，只是把作死玩法改成了拍黄色小电影，贡献了不少裸露镜头。杀手也从高大威猛的形象改成备受衰老煎熬的退伍老夫妻，战斗力主要来自别人的关心，气氛则主要靠白发皱纹与变态性幻想来营造～而他们之所以杀人原因也是很简单的老头不行了老太婆却想要，想来老去的不举比惨遭屠杀更加可怕~渴望年轻肉体的欢愉，算是提供了一个比较猎奇的角度，只是前期节奏太过缓慢，不匹配屠杀气质，好在尺度上有一定把握，女主最后的车轮爆头反杀虽在意料之中，也还是有喷射的快感。所以片名X的意思应该是操！
挺不错的。节奏把握的好，jump scare 也恰到好处。为近几年的老人恐怖片挖掘了新内容。很期待看老人吸食年轻人精气肉体鲜血的。。。
不算无聊，但也不是很有意思。
整個故事真的超級一般，也沒什麼重口可言除非A片的拍攝過程也算？！ 但有些鏡頭還是可以的，衰老的描述其實還好，另外我挺喜歡這片配樂的
在剪辑和情节设计上未免太复古了，完美复刻b级恐怖片（单纯说剥削似乎也不是）和学生惊悚片作业中劣质与呆笨的特色，美学上来说拍得还不如《刺心》。对老年性欲及野心的纳入当然很亮眼，但考虑到被这部电影底色决定的猎奇化表现方式，你就很难说它真的亮眼，真能找到价值的路径只有被宗教与文化元素包裹起来的phycho——所以说真的非常复古。
半夜看到，荒诞对比营造出了独特的戏剧感，结构回环对应工整精巧，营造了恰到好处的惊悚感
欧美演艺圈是真的顶，吹拉弹唱，身材颜值各项顶格，还要演技，就这条件还要经过筛选才能上。女主角的要求更变态。
前半截色情片，后半截恐怖片——不惊悚只惊吓。老年人青春不在心不甘比较特别
