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.
又好笑又感动，不过还是很羡慕美美，和中式家长唯一的不同就是：他们才不会承认自己错了🥲
妈妈曾经也是个穿着JK制服的少女，她的熊猫最大只，可能因为压抑得最厉害
一把年纪看coming of age还是被深深打动，大概那些抉择和蜕变的瞬间有太多共鸣。比喻的精准运用重回inside out的水平。中国文化的展现还是略显尴尬但是整个电影很有亚洲味，y2k元素也让人重回童年。
虽然不太喜欢这个闹腾的胖姑娘，整体情节走向也略显低幼，但必须要承认它隐喻绝妙，也很欣赏这波文化输出，看到了东西两种价值观在片中的碰撞。对追星少女的心理捕捉也很珍贵。
用变身成红色毛茸茸怪物这个意象暗示少女初潮，这个想法非常巧妙。整个故事最大的进步是，终于让人觉得作为主角的华裔不是那么刻板印象了。不过，有个人设上的微妙矛盾是，长辈（父母）的特点像出自1985-1995年代，而孩子（女主）的个性则像是2010-2020世代的，推测是编剧写到爸妈就代入了自己的回忆，同时想贴近当代年轻人，所以刻画主角用了更与时俱进的设定。另一个违和感是，迪士尼老爱用一个适合A矛盾（自我-独特-反同化）的魔幻设定去表达B矛盾（自我-成长-反权威），因而不如亚当斯一家那种一路黑到底来得有趣。最后，无论如何也无法接受小熊猫是这个样子，脸上标志性的深棕色泪痕没有，耳朵也不太对劲，而且非得那么胖……就好像阿宝的尾巴是黑色。话说，当代家长发现女儿有这能力，早就抖音直播准备参加偶像活动了吧？
好可爱呀！有些情节真的太感同身受了，麻麻时时刻刻的关爱也确实让人会感到压抑
皮克斯出品的话真的欠太多，不明白为啥这么高分。
Orgasm这个事…罗宾逊太太如果一开始找个富有经验的同性第一次就通关了……里奥服务精神五星，资本主义世界的好在于钱能买到圣人，各种意义上的。
可以直接改一个小剧场。以及这么多年过去了……女性的处境似乎也没有太大变化……Maccormick蛮可爱的。所以性工作者的伦理课作业答案应该很多……宗教课老师是不是可以类比政治课老师，或者道法课老师？改一个中国的应该很带感
虽然是皮克斯的动画，但整个氛围都是东亚的感觉，啊哈哈，看到她们追星那个小眼神了吗。我很喜欢这种具象化的过程，得知这是祖传的就可以想象得出ming的小熊猫一定很大，只是没想到这！么！大！
全世界的女性 哪怕是英国女性 都没有得到解放 你凭什么觉得够了
酸腐→concupiscence
片长短 节奏紧 逻辑差 故事平 偏低幼 小熊猫是很可爱 so what？我已经对只会讲道理的皮克斯失望了
除了满足福瑞控，还有接纳自己。看得呜呜哭，老姐妹们再次放弃了自我和解的情节让我特别悲伤……
主题是成长；一种东方人（华人）特有的教育观念，对孩子有强烈控制欲。孩子也在孝子的传统观念下不做反抗，一直做着乖孩子，隐藏着心里的红熊猫；还有多元移民国家（北美）的包容，中西文化混合；四城男孩是西城男孩，也是来自四个不同国家的粉丝女孩；华人的脸型建模很贴近现实；女性主导，父亲一旁
太难看了……堆砌各种自以为是的中国元素，逻辑完全不能自洽，开头和结尾的女主到底有什么区别？
So beautiful...整部的亲密感实在太棒，如此鞭辟入里的人性描摹太令人欲罢不能了。而且还是我们最好的汤女爵和如此秀色美味又饱含真诚的男主角，God，就真的是太够味儿。能够通过非常简单的空间和调度就能够把两个人的故事，和他们各自作为独立个体的故事展示得如此丰满，充分表达了人与人之间的复杂和美丽，我真是太钟意这样的创作了。看起来并不那么惊天动地的人类故事里，却带给了你汹涌澎湃的感动。最后两人离别后他们脸上带走的自我和解的愉悦感，太美好了。
就是说女的好不容易嫖一次要从性原型心理一直谈到legalize sex work才能完成全套self found心理建设，男的脱下裤子就差不多了。累还是女的累。感觉这电影虽然看着是挺人文，但是细枝末节都透露着predictable………………
妈妈曾经也是个穿着JK制服的少女，她的熊猫最大只，可能因为压抑得最厉害
青春、少女、成长。这是皮克斯最中国的一部电影，当然，中国文化只是一个外壳，成长之痛依然是他们的核心，每个人心理都住着一个“怪兽”，我们需要学会和它共舞，一起成长。
