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.
想法十分不错，从克隆人类型中另辟蹊径，不再从争夺、替代、欺骗这些直接的主题中寻求新时代（姑且这么称呼）生命体的答案，而是让他们在人类因故离去之后，完成人类所未完成的任务或使命，很有点像前段时间的《芬奇》，代替人类守护家人（宠物）这样的设定，整部片子节奏舒缓，极其适合消磨午后时光，四颗星。
即使把家人托付给另外一个“自己”，内心也会一定觉得肯定是哪里出错了的难以释怀。
近未来电影初始包：钢琴配乐 空旷的建筑还有长得要死的面部特写。拍得太无聊了，80分钟我都嫌长。
制作美 细致 人物刻画和情感太入微了 温柔的科技
在我眼前随风而逝
我很喜欢，不管是故事还是空间还是音乐，这种悲悯的呈现很对我的胃口。
是一个值得探讨的科幻点子没错，可是很多戏剧冲突源自不合理的剧情安排，这么一想就略出戏，影片渲染的情绪显得略矫情……另外感觉是不是有一批小时候喜欢看王家卫片子的老美长大当上导演了…
为什么没有生离死却那么让人心碎？
拍得很深沉，看得很犯困。美术设计倒是挺赞。
总觉得是在看黑镜。梗有点老了，爱和家庭倒是永远值得探讨的主题。就是实在共情不起来：两口子的回忆我不信能一直如此开心和气（俩人唯一的坎儿是失去其他的亲人）
现在已经活在虚拟现实的世界中了。挽歌长鸣。
身怀绝症之人要如何延续自己的身体机能、记忆以及情感，要如何学会告别，这部电影给出了一份答案。在冷感科幻的氛围里，平静温柔地讲述了男主做出最终决定的这一过程。想起了黑镜中的某一集，只是那是站在逝去亲人那一方的角度来看待问题的，但感情同样动人。
人性贯穿科技。很暖心、很舒缓，设计感也非常好！
人之所以区别于动物就在于知伦理明道德 但同时人也是最自私的动物
阳光温暖我的脸庞
和今年圣丹斯的电影《二重身》撞题，完全一致的故事背景，只是在克隆后的人生境遇和关键抉择里走向相反的类型处理，表演是加分项，效果见仁见智。
抛开伦理道德，爱绵长永存。与其说是伦理道德的博弈，不如说是人性与爱的较量。男主的每一个决定，反应，包括克隆人jack的每一个反馈和思想，都是人类内心深处关于自私的人性与爱的衡量。理解卡梅隆即将孤独死去无助愤怒的情绪，也理解jack惶恐，害怕，对未来不确定性表现出的惊恐乞求可怜的眼神。如果未来真的能做到indistinguishable，那么唯爱永生。
3.5离开心爱的人是很痛苦的，被人遗忘是很痛苦的，一直思念是很痛苦的
男主演得不错，但还是不太喜欢看他的脸。女主有点太完美，就好像夫妻生活中没有任何争吵。克隆体替你生存，帮你照顾家庭，或者克隆体，就是你。你死了，你的一部分还活着，所以你没有死。
文艺伦理科幻片，拍的太闷了。本体回家告别那一段有点感人。
