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.

粗读原著。细腻动人，由外及内，觉察到身影，碰触到呼吸，体会到情绪，却始终探不清人物的样子。于是当神态遮掩，脸孔模糊，恰巧是少有的动人之时。
反过来，只有极致的努力才有可能成功，什么是极致的努力，就是那种近乎毫无可能的结果还是去放手一搏。
前半段就很好，恐怖片不一定要放到夜晚的氛围中去，降低可视性有很多办法：建筑的遮蔽、复杂的房间构造、给更少的主观视角（拍在注视的人的眼睛，拍反应，不拍被注视的人等等）。后半程全程在黑夜中，更像是利用光线制造单纯的心里效果，没有那么有趣了。老人的性总被认为是不可谈论、不可见的，这一题材本身就预见了对于观看和拍摄的反思，非常出彩。
本以为会搞个万能钥匙之类的结局，结果期待值过高，另外希望肌肉男下次多露肉！
让我想起了刚看完小说时候的心情，那些挥之不去的好似来自雪国的冷意；但，电影明显情绪没到位，没有足够的留白，小说可以用文字描述氛围和剧情，但电影不能这样。
超乎预料之好，几乎想要打五颗星（那就打了吧）。视听上营造的间离效果，错落的叙事，一切的一切，好像隔着雾无法将你触摸的徒劳。“爱人甚多，得失且过。”釜底抽薪的一句话
如果对上世纪70年代的美国色情片浪潮不熟悉的话，想必不会有更多代入感。老太太身上有着过于张扬的符号化集成，不仅代表着衰老对青春的复仇，代表着不朽而强烈的欲望，同时还隐约成为当时色情片浪潮溃败的人格化比喻，如果考虑到米娅分饰两角这样的幕后安排，就能解读出更多东西。同时本片不仅怀念着70s色情片，同时还致敬着磨坊电影、剥削电影和磕药电影这些小众亚类型曾经的辉煌。但影片又是典型的做好了里子没做好面子，基本面的剧作和结构，以及不够极致的美学表达阻碍它成为新一代经典。分屏用的生硬，跳切呼应着RJ对新浪潮的迷恋，相似场景的平行剪辑只是另外一种小聪明，而作为以恐怖片为首要类型的虐杀电影，惊悚设置和尺度又都有些温柔了，导致感到有些形式过度的问题，最后那下后坐力更无必要。
睡觉被老太又摸又亲成这样妹子都没醒 中年如我真是嫉妒年轻人的睡眠质量
高桥怎么气质越发猥琐了。
发挥了小说10%的内涵吧。不过，一千个读者有一千个哈姆雷特。大概导演只是把文字翻译成视频，至于升华全靠观者自我发挥
睡觉被老太又摸又亲成这样妹子都没醒 中年如我真是嫉妒年轻人的睡眠质量
所以，人生的阶段不外乎两种结果，成功后陷入失去目标的虚无，或者失败后陷入徒劳。二者并无本质的差别。
高桥一生偶尔演演这样的角色还挺好玩的，只是奈绪真的不适合“纯洁的姑娘”这样的描述，眼神中充满了心机，虽然不能这么评判一个演员，但还是很有影响的。任性的，心机的，捉摸不透的。
仔细回想来我只是在课本上看过《伊豆的舞女》吧，但还是会被川端康成的文字给感动到。觉得他的文字更适合能拍出细腻感情的人来拍，这个电视剧有一些地方，特别开头的部分有那么一些这样的东西，但也可能受限于电视剧这一受众，所以慢慢的就变成了解谜剧。觉得高桥一生不太适合这个角色，但看着看着也好像没那么扎眼了。
便是雪国
湖边黑影究竟是人是鬼？
文学性极强，甚至不惜插入大量旁白来让故事顺畅，可这种每个人在情感里都错付的苦情故事，在我看来真是无聊透顶，包括演员和没有台词的高良健吾都无亮点。
对原著新的解读，拍得还是差点意思，最后日记的部分还行，《雪国》就不适合影视化，露伴真人版的班底难怪布景、配乐和那股悬疑味都这么似曾相识。高桥的形象本来和原著就不贴，演得也很游离，虽然本人还是在粉丝滤镜和爱文艺颓男DNA的共同作用下心动了三秒。奈绪还行，总觉得她长得有点像苍井优+崔嬉序。
最后二十分钟…是真没想到川端康成的故事都被能改造成推理档，高桥一生披着斗篷离去的背影，怎么看都更像金田一耕助而非岛村orz…叙事全靠旁白叨叨，既无对雪国风土的细腻摹画，亦无对三人关系真正入心的演绎。看之前还纳闷怎么亿万同人会做这一部，原来是编剧把人物关系读出了这么一层莫须有的暧昧来。可是川端所谓生存的徒劳或美的徒劳，都不是这么个徒劳法。与原作偏差极大，没读原作的观众请绕行此版。
