Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after.
Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development.
Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards.
No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career.
A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag.
Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival.
In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
大概是最近恐怖片都太烂的缘故，看这部觉得很不错了。
盒子怪还真是来者不拒啊，上了桌子的都咔咔的，别说腿横担起来还挺销魂。献祭梗揭开没有反转便进入剧情的垃圾时间，节奏还不错
女主角讨人厌得挺可爱，不用带着巨大预设去看，其实也就是年轻版karen，长得甚至还蛮可爱的
桌面电影的一个优点是画面中有着大量的细节和彩蛋可以去回味寻找 这个电影也是创意十足 粗口和血浆非常有趣 反zzzq的主角也一定确保了这个片不会得高分 不过这个电影绝对是值得一看的
形式新颖但是剧情太松散了，感觉半小时就够了。20220626
看完了，又是发生在大房子的邪恶献祭故事，女主真是又穷又惨，还好都反杀了，可怜她的舅舅送人头了。
所以女主最后是做了恶魔之匣的新仆人吧。外来黑户的美国梦？总觉得有点儿政治隐喻啊，有意思。
真的看不了这种，镜头晃到我想吐，拍的什么东西。
网费就是做怪物做的那么帅 别对恐怖片那么苛刻了豆瓣
chaotic！绝对入列我个人的年度乐子电影。女主疯癫出格欠得浑然天成，出色的选角让电影全程都处于精神病式的末日狂欢氛围。罗布·萨维奇两年前拍的还是中规中矩的桌面伪恐，不过一年就打造出这样一部狂乱之作，是他本人越发大胆还是这个操蛋世界本身就愈来愈绝望疯狂呢。
5/10毫无章法和逻辑的一部片子，看了跟没看一样。
前面墨迹了一点，总是梦境里吓人，后来还行，起码挺有逻辑
片子不烂，但是你要熬过疯子女主前面10分钟的戏份，后面高能一波接一波，想象力，血腥度都还可以，又好笑又吓人，
分太低了吧！女主角好疯批，弹幕也好好笑！是最近看过恐怖电影里面比较有意思的一部了。
表叔叔好无辜啊，他不过是心地善良就被卷进事件里。就问你们有么有见过这么礼貌充满尊重的鬼？你不心甘情愿它就不吃你，跑完完了还吧门关上。女主智商欠奉，最后反杀的时候略爽，但是依然有点不知所云。
三分给颜值 扣一分给男主的sb小辈 强凑CP还硬要别人在一起 真的无语又三八(¯―¯٥)
对becker到底啥病语焉不详
何是善良的人都不能活，只有不善良的人可以活，这个立意也够可以的了，能看但算不上出类拔萃
气氛营造比较到位，场景也搭的挺好，但是不够恐怖，再吓人一些就更好了。女主还是挺单纯的，各种被骗，不过最后吃到了石箱的好处，是不是要黑化呢，这里一个小小的悬念。故事总体比较简单，前面部分甚至有一点无聊，后面还行。这个怪物设计的很棒，第一次见到这种造型，很新颖，好评！但是太弱鸡了吧，怎么就只能投喂，自己没有能力，白白长得这么大个子。女主环境中挣扎醒来就啥事没有了，客观存在的链子都没了，这点确实离谱了。男主明明醒着，也被抓住吃掉了，当然最后也有台词表面他陷入幻觉。总体中规中矩的片子， 怪物造型好评。上面那个最多赞的，17赞的评论，片子都没看懂搁着瞎评论，还这么多人给他点赞，无语。弑母是在幻觉里，这种杀掉最亲的人才能走出幻觉的段落很老套了，还有被坏人抓住最后暴走反杀也是很老的套路了，他都没看过的吗？
5/10毫无章法和逻辑的一部片子，看了跟没看一样。
