Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
荒诞而有趣的科幻片，愚蠢的本体，白练了一年的杀人技，被自己的克隆体PTU，然后一瓶水给毒死……，哈哈哈～😜🤪😂
影片荒誕、冷酷、黑色幽默，讓我想起了《龍蝦》。本來是要來替代絕癥患者的克隆人，陰差陽錯兩人都活了下來，法律竟然規定決鬥解決。女主錢不夠付戰鬥課學費，代替付款的“潛規則”令人噴飯。最值得玩味的是當事人男友和母親的態度，他們寧願要脾氣更好的克隆人留下，真女兒去死。這就意味著：個人不僅在社會中可替代，在家庭和親密關系中也是一樣可替代的，他人需要的只是你的一些功能而不是你本身。
觉得挺悲哀的，女主很可怜。虽然活了，到还不如去死。
女主角跟double说话好像开了1.25x加速。最后开着残破的车停在圆盘里绝妙的隐喻了“自我修正”的功能，sadly我们总是会把很多事情逐件适应。也许最后那个double sarah冒充真sarah出现在决斗场一家人（男友，妈妈）高兴的帮她打掩护的，其实是真sarah冒充假sarah? 非常喜欢的节奏，虽然故事并不动人。
3.4/10 这个极具创意力与新意的设定, 多加活用可以制造一部阴森可怖的惊悚类电影, 也可以制造一部质问人性的思辩类电影,可惜本片却不属于其中任何一种。 本片不断呈现故事设定为角色所带来的危害, 却在呈现过程中丢失对原因的描绘。 本片花费大量时间叙述角色如何克服危机, 却逐渐忘记故事的核心与影片的风格。 道具的使用, 人物的刻画, 也不够优秀。 这样一部仅仅依靠设定与概念支撑的影片, 即使最终以别样的方式作结, 依旧无法改变剧本糟糕的事实。
导演很会讲故事，剧情有几次反转，内容前半部分类似天鹅挽歌，女主的故事很悲剧，活得没有自我，如同工具人，但还是为了生存努力奋斗。小粉出场带有喜感，让人忍俊不住。结局开放，引人思考！一部有趣的电影。
VHS老粉了，伪纪录片中的重口味邪典。94和之前的系列在风格一脉相承，但故事上，除了第三个机械实验灵光乍现，其他都太平庸和保守（见过前三部的大风大浪，这部看得内心毫无波澜）。镜头虽然还是很糊，但摆拍比较明显，真实感大打折扣。贯穿拼盘的主线故事也含糊不清，略失望吧。
最后，看似开放结局，其实仔细看的，可以看出替身伪装成本体，bug就是，既然科技如此发达了，为什么不能通过科学手段查出是不是本体！而要用法庭指认
荒诞 讽刺 黑色幽默 又细思恐极 很对胃口
设定算是还行，辛辛苦苦练了一年，就被说服了？毫无防备喝下毒水，你没事吧？
看得出导演非常悲观，但真到了生命体可以克隆的年代，人的情感都能被替代，人都不在是人，只是一个个“工具”而已
看了这么多评论，所以说，结局到底是什么呢？谁杀了我，我又杀了谁？
复古画质很有趣，真有种重回90年代在录像店里租恐怖录像带的时光。不过故事本身新意不大，严格来说只有第一和第四个故事跟这种录像带画质有一点点互文关系（但也不大）。第三个故事整体创意有点借鉴《弗兰肯斯坦的军队》，珠玉在前，但本身做得没有任何突破。恐怖片导演在我看来都是一群富有童心、不愿长大的孩子，会寻找最有想象力的故事和手法来吓唬观众。
推荐指数：🌟🌟🌟
如果复制体活下来了，那她哭是因为继承了本地那善变的男友和烦死人的妈，继承了本体操蛋的生活。
我觉得拍的很好，看到1/3以为是雌竞，看到2/3时以为是复仇爽剧，终究没有落俗。
看评论和影评看笑了，结局都这么明显了，还在争活下来的是不是本体
BD版标记，比想象中好睇，除了培训战斗那里其实可以精简缩短，最后开放式思考结局比较喜欢，个人觉得最后活下来的是复制体，本体在森林里已经被毒死，后面说话方式和对话就很明显；复制体只是继承本体被男友亲人愚弄命运罢了...评分太低，起码7分以上，值得推荐观看！
本是一个荒诞的科幻制度为基础，聚焦在女主自绝症，亲友的冷淡，寄希望于克隆人的传承，到最后被克隆人“剥夺”了人生，导演没有刻意藏匿线索，稍动点脑就能知道结局，我杀死了那个他们蓄谋的“我”，并陪他们孤独的装成我，好无奈悲剧的结局。
哈哈，結局本體竟然被克隆體反殺，其實在喝克隆體給她的水喝就猜到了⋯⋯
