Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
温子仁终究还是个钟爱B级片的导演，他对商业模式的驾驭能力挺强，但个人风格的把握上反而有待打磨，这种反差倒是很罕见。
剧情真的好平淡。。温子仁是不是不能再创saw的辉煌了
恐怖氛围做得挺屌的，转场调度也有很亮眼的时刻。就是那位的能力为什么会这么强完全没有解释一头雾水。
温子仁可能超英片子拍多了，我觉得和他一贯的鬼屋风格区别挺大。想到招魂系列越来越不行了，这种新变化倒也不坏。
看的原版，没有太恐怖，剧情能猜个7788。有不能解释的地方，不是鬼/异形武力值这么牛？但整个镜头感很棒。帅哥全程工具人，全靠女人顶起整片天
还是温子仁猛，这么老派的拍法竟然不显乏力，鬼屋+狂杀片爱好者将会得到双倍快乐。
这部电影身体力行地告诉各位，不用讲鬼的惊悚片照样可以精彩。后半段的戏温子仁真的是把自己的风格最大化，调度和场景精彩得令人惊呼。而且，他设计了一个新的恐怖形象。（虽然我觉得有点抄《鬼伎回忆录》）。我非常欣赏他的镜头把控能力，多机位的切换和一些令人惊奇的俯拍。加上他惯常的故事诡计——危险其实就在咫尺，你别一开始就忽略了，你没注意到的话，结局给你揭示吧！这一点上，温子仁和诺兰实在是有点相近，用影像的前后闭环让故事很完整精彩。只不过一个是恐怖片领域，一个是科幻片领域。
很新颖的边缘的题材，能够体会到女主身体和感官被占领，自己动弹不得的恐惧。场景变化特效有点逃出绝命镇的感觉，很有代入感和侵蚀感，温子仁指导的非灵异恐怖片还不错。
配乐还挺铅黄的，自己老婆的剧本差点意思，前半段不太行。
调低预期之后观影，个人整体观感倒还可以。前面还以为是又一部类似《招魂》《潜伏》的恐怖灵异片，结果后面却变成了类似《准备好了没》的恐怖动作片，拍得还蛮血腥暴力的，也难怪《致命感应》能获得贱熊的青睐。★★★☆ P.S.：女主角的设定莫名让我联想到《火影忍者》里的鸣人（&九尾）。
剧情真的好平淡。。温子仁是不是不能再创saw的辉煌了
很惊喜，很过瘾。推断出了个七八分，但想象力最终还是输给了温子仁。很好的娱乐体验！
不是说好的铅黄电影吗？是我对铅黄电影的理解有偏差吗？我怎么觉得这片子的铅黄味儿还没有埃德加那部没上映的《SOHO区》强呢？简直地比《睡梦医生》更像是《闪灵》的续作。另外，就冲这个底，我估计八成儿还有续作，但是不是温子仁导演就不好说了，保不齐又是匀出去给徒弟拍。
正版影视的受害者，很明显警局屠杀和切肿瘤那段被剪了，算了就当给招魂和安娜贝儿系列补票吧。ps.温子仁拍《控制》肯定也很好看，当然是跟纽伦瓦尔不一样的好看。
温子仁用实力证明你大爷还是你大爷，娴熟的运镜手法仿佛回到了电锯惊魂时期，结尾血洗警局那叫一个刺激，不过为什么肿瘤人就能把女主的身体秒变美国队长？
铅黄的用光和音效配现代戏居然丝滑又尖锐，风格化上不是往常的温子仁但做到了。黑暗的另一半的核，生出现实替换的构思很金。body-horror的巧思诡异中居然带着优美，背部逆行骨骼倒错，几场追逃戏居然跳出了舞步（不是哈哈哈）
不是鬼片，也足夠可怕了，故事走向很不溫子仁，反轉也好猜，但幾處驚嚇戲碼依舊是快狠准，後半段的血漿也非常精彩。
对铅黄电影的致敬算是亮点，本质上还是温子仁个人风格主导
Emmmm还行 营造的惊悚氛围十分强 吓是吓到好几次 只是没想到阁楼竟然在女主家 真的有点震撼 最后想想开头还是有很多伏笔的 就是最后结尾剧情有点俗套
作为非典型作者导演，明显感受到温子仁在经历二十多时奇技淫巧血脉喷张的电锯系列，三十多时稳扎稳打别具一格的招魂潜伏系列后，特别是指掌完海王后，陷入了不惑的灯枯油尽：东拼西凑了一堆元素，除了一惊一乍就是血腥……还留了一个自我和解的happy ending
