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].
黑色幽默低成本故事，只是故事前提还不足以成立，底层逻辑不够，所以加再多戏剧桥段都还是觉得差点意思
还可以，值个7星。演员阵容有点浪费，场景真的过于贫穷，剧本表现尚可，感觉总分低了一丢丢
楼下花园和筒子楼的构造以及营造的氛围，想起来，博尔赫斯，小径分岔的花园。
评分「8.0」
抱着期待看的，前边还不错，多线叙事，没那么难看。梁超出来以后感觉就有些拖了，其实也是人物按的多了，五条线，窦骁的反转也有些生硬。那帮小孩儿是干啥的说实话我没看懂，是买来要饭还是干啥，放在这个题材里面总感觉别愣。
你所以为的坏人不一定是坏人，你所以为的好人也不一定是好人。还不错的剧本，放到一大堆国产烂片里这部电影竟然还有几分闪光点。
故事叙述方式充满悬疑，故事逻辑有瑕疵但无大碍。结局真凶若逃走会更精彩。对黑色产业链的控诉让这个电影不只停留在黑色幽默的肤浅。
还不错诶！筒子楼，霓虹灯，身份特征明显的几个人聚集在同一间屋子。封闭空间小成本黑色幽默犯罪悬疑电影，多线叙事加精彩的多个反转，剧作逻辑清晰，每个人的行动线也在叙事中逐渐明朗。但觉得最后结尾可以处理的更好，好像哪个方面都差了一口气。总体还是好看且精彩的！
仿佛盖·里奇电影和《惊世狂花》的拼贴，狭小空间多线叙事诸多人物粉墨登场。如果是导演的处女作，说明宁浩有接班人了

最后结局居然是那个人以前是警察 身体不好 不是猝死 小人物？又都不是大恶？？？感觉编剧想给他们写恶，但是又多了很多善，不伦不类🎾😓😓
有想法，有话题，有反转，小成本电影里算不错的。
反转到疲劳，巧合到离奇，青年导演为了讲个故事真可谓绞尽脑汁了。

小偷范伟为了给儿子筹钱换肾，来到了一个做了标记的房子。正在翻找时，遇到了有人回房间，一男一女。一着急被撞晕了，醒来发现女的已经死了。还以为女的是被这男的杀的，其实是那个尤老板失手杀的。还有外卖小哥，还有贩卖儿童的两具坏蛋。还有那个被困在厕所里的小网管？剧情是很反转。一开始以为是坏人的拿着打火机枪的，是好人，以为是好人的外卖小哥，才是真正的坏蛋。
感觉和《无名之辈》有点像，最近还挺喜欢这种一个室内就完成的片子，不断反转，挺过瘾的。
个人觉得这绝对是一部被低估的小成本国产电影！情节反转反转再反转，不看到最后绝对不知道发生了什么呀～～～人性啊～～～
单舞台电影，本来很喜欢这类，考验剧本和演技，但这几个演员表演还是不太像在正剧，总有喜剧效果。加上国产片又不能黑色结局，感觉很一般。PS.窦骁最后有点像史蒂文元。
可以看出，主创想利用剧本杀的形式与类型片的元素为影片戴上创新、烧脑的光环，奈何主创对于社会生活的积淀、对于人心的考察颇显贫乏，令成片沦为了逻辑生硬且缺乏情感的空中楼阁。
『不速来客』少见的院线国产类型片，黑色幽默式的悬疑片，在多线叙事下不断闪回来揭示真相，通过倒着说故事来见证“眼见为虚”，密集的反转节奏感十足，但每一次反转更多的是增加新的剧情内容进来，让悬疑性显得后劲不足，最后升华内核、和谐结局也是意料之中了。【7或8分】
