Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
*用说唱Rap带一把演职员表还是挺有意思的。
深刻，富有批判性，剖析社会与自我挣扎的同志作品已经有很多了。至少这一部给了一个温暖如春的圣诞欢乐结局，时不时还是需要一点这样的麻醉的
美国俄亥俄州的阿瑟教授在墨西哥的特诺奇蒂特兰城遗址考古，挖出一装有蝶仙的石头盒子。回到美国，阿瑟开始胁迫妻子玛莉一同祸害女孩献祭给蝶仙，阿瑟的两个儿子贝克尔、雷德离家出走。后来贝克尔患病与雷德返回家中，见父亲杀害了母亲玛莉，就杀死父亲为母报仇，但随即贝克尔的病痊愈，意识到自己被蝶仙选中而得到庇护。于是，贝克尔、雷德又开始祸害女孩献祭。女主安巴尔从墨西哥偷渡至美国并租住雷德的房子，并开始做噩梦；为办身份证而被同事金茜骗走所有钱，只好向房东雷德索要押金，但被捆绑献祭。舅舅贝托来救安巴尔却被贝克尔打死。安巴尔曾闷死了患病的母亲，被蝶仙选中，安巴尔反杀了贝克尔、雷德
抖音上刷到了片段，赶紧找了看，结果发现，最精彩的已经在抖音里了…看得莫名其妙的，盒子里那只看起来厉害的昆虫怪物简直啥用没有，为什么兄弟俩总要用女人献祭？献祭有啥用？毕竟他俩还是穷成那样…女主为啥能看见一屋子鬼？
尽管女主是教科书级的讨人厌，弹幕也让我感叹这个世界要被傻逼占领了，但这年头能有一部刺激且有趣的恐怖片就已经够难得了不是吗🕺🏻（而且片尾真的很好笑）
温水煮青蛙，还是有可圈可点的地方。几次虚实剪辑很不错，还算有导演个人特点的。那个箱子太像圣斗士的圣衣箱了…最后女主应该开始招租，只限男性了吧…事实上箱子怪不挑食啊，对女性真是满满的恶意…啧啧啧
三星半，怪物造型给半分，中规中矩，略有小惊喜。
前面看着觉得还可以，氛围营造的比较细腻，但随着故事的发展就觉得有点烦了，很多地方逻辑也不太通顺，看到最后对这个结尾也挺失望，感觉闷了口气在胸口，影片结束也没能释放。怪物造型不错，也就仅此而已吧。
预订年度十佳，足够恶趣味，足够爆胆吓，足够反主流，女主的口活儿也是真的够劲爆
我好喜欢这种贱贱的片子，女主角真的又烦又帅
Eminem had that Orange rhyme thing covered
有镜头被吓到，但是无头无尾不知道在讲些什么，而且镜头也太晃了，女主*话也太多了，感觉有点神智不清
啥意思 只要不被幻境困住 怪物就拿你没办法是吗😂很遵守规则的怪物 结局还是蛮爽的
拍得很克制，给恐怖片带来一丝写实感，是我喜欢的风格
石盒子里的怪物很惊艳，女主亲戚虽然不喜欢她，却还是让妻子给她衣服还为了救她而死，可惜的是最后女主没有逃出去，她也被怪物吃了，后面的复仇都是死后的梦境。
个人比较喜欢的小成本佳作，主要是做怪物设定的设计师深得寂静岭的视觉语言，错位的肢体、被遮蔽的五官、放大的上下颚，特别像寂静岭4那种风格，女主对母亲的愧疚和恐惧的具象化无处不在，献祭仪式与杀人旅馆结合，天花的玻璃挺漂亮，节奏属于后段才爆发的类型，其实特效化妆挺用心，血腥指数也有4星
【B+】节奏紧凑，将录像、直播的形式发挥得较好，后半段异常生猛的展开看得我目瞪口呆，结尾的演职人员表也是如此不走寻常路。PS.右边的弹幕出现了几次爱看热闹的中国人。后面还出现了一个叫WTF的车牌，看来导演自己也知道拍的是什么。
奈飞出品恐怖片《诡屋惊魂》好吧…我真的是跳的看完了，叙事不行，节奏拖沓，亮点除了最后的特效怪物之外真的没啥了，总体沉闷，不吸引人，在我看来…真的是不太行的一部惊悚恐怖片吧，好了，就简单说这么多吧…
除了疯批女主一嘴流利的虎狼 Rap 有点猎奇，其他都是浮云…
伪纪录电影玩的花样越来越多了，从女巫布莱尔到电脑桌面到行车记录仪
