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.
《爱情神话》
2021影院最好看的电影！在结尾收获了属于我的爱情神话🤒
书架上有一本《繁花》，我现在有兴趣看看了。
沉闷，没剧情，没演技。1.0星。一堆人说年度华语前三，我也会说，近几年的华语电影我基本一部不漏，这是我今年打过的最低分。
很喜欢，国产屏幕太缺少这样的电影类型了。是轻盈又愉快的两个多小时，一切恰到好处，值得搭配大桶的爆米花和饮料。有几处小细节让人动容。导演的天资和技术真的都很厉害👍
认定了李小姐之后，就坚定的为对方付出，承包了接送孩子、辅导功课的任务，甚至提供住处，面对风情万种的野猫和有过感情基础的前妻，也没有改变自己的选择。
元素多样且不干尬 自我感觉还蛮伍迪艾伦的 所谓爱情神话 就比如说 一切气氛都恰到好处 在这一刻我感觉到很安心 所以我想在此时说爱你 于是爱情就展开了... 不过电影只说了开头没有说结尾 结尾被伍迪艾伦说了 “当爱情结束时你就会告诉自己 那一切不过是回忆....” 如果对你来说爱情是神话，那么分离也是
回想2021年，最轻松舒展的两个小时，应该就是和王老师在电影院看这个的时候。好像世界都退回到我喜欢的那个状态里了。神奇。
曾经在安福路附近住了很多年。每周末去跑步，上瑜伽课。想念那些漂亮的老洋房和梧桐树，湖南路上看起来贵气又神秘的兴国宾馆，每隔一段时间就会倒闭换招牌的精致的咖啡店，随便走走就会遇见的巴金故居。再走走还有华山医院漂亮的小花园和上海图书馆。晚上下班时延安高架两边的夜景，遍布街角的明亮温暖又干净整齐的24小时便利店的窗口，相熟的早餐铺水果摊和菜场的阿姨。想念上海话，想念总是被人称作“小姑娘”然后被碎碎念。太多了。一遍一遍地爱上上海的瞬间。
影片质感 完成度都非常棒。知道这是部女性向的片子 但徐峥周野芒这么棒 还是惊喜。方言很重要。
要素过多。。健身不练腿 早晚要后悔 非礼你看不下去切了个bgm是M83吗？？
明天破除冷战格局，拉上我妈二刷上海版Woody Allen😜
我猜一定很多人会给低分，我是真喜欢这种电影，看起来很轻松， 已经不会考虑剧情和演技的问题，因为这就是生活，最后还自己吐槽自己！
骨子里是大型的情景喜剧，妙在剧本、 对白、演员的拿捏。剧中的语音很罕见的是生活的语言。但这剧的成功和矛盾都在与此。因为完完全全是虚构的人物和场景。没有一个年届50的中年艺术男会住在这样的弄堂里（我的家人依然还有住在那样地方的），更别说展开浪漫了。一方面人为的感觉很强烈，另一方面又带来了久违的喜剧张力。导演似乎很乐意把自己定位在这里（而不是任何艺术高度，影片里有好几处这样的机会）。公允地说，我觉得片子很成功，让我放声大笑。最后，配乐太糟糕了。
最后小型追悼会上大家看《爱情神话》这段很妙，太写实了哈哈哈哈！
下半夜回家，在昏暗的楼梯被突然一阵水声吓得半死，转过头看到熟悉的大红色水桶，原来三楼又把那只乌龟放到家门口站岗……属于上海的烟火气啊，这也算其中一件吧～
片子很灵气，非常契合魔都的精神内核。可爱的吴侬软语深深入耳，有趣的BGM首首直戳心门。小白爱情看太多，腻歪了，那批观众也大了，中年爱情题材绝对是以后的潜力股。
人们正是因为喜欢神话才向往爱情，可惜真实世界的爱情里很难存在神话。奢侈的东西被标榜以平价，平民消费观贯穿在这群隐形富豪，这种对观众亲民的爱情真是个神话！https://movie.douban.com/review/14107197/
你以为是欧洲迷影，其实恰好是三四十年代中国电影的路子。
最后希望广州也能整出这么好的东西……东山口和北京路说你呢。
