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.
柱众会、鬼弦会、武技锻炼，颇有趣味的一部分段总集编。三星半
和La La Land带来的感触是不一样的，那部更加剧情，侧重情节的冲击和跌宕。但是这部，戛然而止的生命和颓废的大环境，里面敬业的演员和精彩的音乐，的确是用心之作。RIP Mr.Larson
我也时常能听到tick tick，但却不能像男主这样拼尽全力。非常喜欢两条线穿插的节奏，就像现实与理想不停交缠的人生。
Sunday里大咖多到眼花，都太给面子了。
Johonny has go guide. Johonny wants to hide. 没有人能够保证你一定能成功，实现自己的梦想。但是，你打算放弃吗？你能做的只是一本剧本一步剧本写下去。
音乐密集到完全淡化了Jon的创作困境 女友和朋友完全是工具人的存在 并不能通过电影共情 （除了吵架那段是真的很上头 失去了对人物内里的挖掘 过多的曲目堆砌其实意义并不大...但加菲的表演还是很精彩！
我有很重要的事情没做，有谈话未完成，但我选择先把咖啡端上桌。
单纯说电影，影像表达力度是不足的，但情感太充沛了，饱含热情，悲伤与焦虑，生日那天，如果我没事可做，就一个人二刷这部电影吧
天才人生中永远只有过路人，从情感角度的解读倒是有几分《后翼弃兵》的后劲了。
用自传体音乐剧来演绎音乐剧作家的传记，加菲虽然唱得没那么好，但演得很加分啊，简直就是拉森。
（TV动画第22话~第26话总集篇，在富士电视台播出，为追加新场景的特别剪辑版。）
Sunday里大咖多到眼花，都太给面子了。
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?
三十岁，人生进入了倒数时刻；死亡的钟声即将响起，滴答，滴答……无法被时代和商业接受的创造力，要放弃吗？可以。要坚持吗？也行。过去的已然过去，生活仍要继续。无论身处何地，继续创作也好，为他人工作也好，从任何事物中写出一首歌来，直到生命的最后一秒。
撑过前半小时，后面就很容易看进去了。第一眼看过去就很喜欢主唱小姐姐，觉得眼熟，没想到居然真的是当年歌舞青春的女主，很喜欢她唱歌的样子呢
没办法共情，让我在纽约睡地下室我也愿意。所以没办法为了剧作者自己的小确幸而感动。
听说是tv抽的合集 那就标记一下（怕看重复了哈哈哈哈哈哈！）tv22-26
渐入佳境，Sunday 那段简直是百老汇春晚！
蜘蛛山之战后面的这一段柱众会议的确显得有些乏味 季终是这几集的确有点拉垮了
我有多喜欢rent和Hamilton，就有多不喜欢这个，前半段，前一大半，人物塑造看得我直皱眉头。最重要的是，作为讲音乐剧的音乐电影，它不好听啊！很不好听啊！！
