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.
sandie的问题在于电影前后不统一：前半段她被男性压迫、被男性剥削、被男性吞噬的呈现已经非常完整，要转变成对男性的复仇者也顺理成章，可是结局她突然又挥刀举向同情她的同性，电影的主旨和力度突然模糊了。Ellie的人设问题在于青春校园片女主角走错了片场：悲惨的家庭、温暖的祖母、喜欢她的男同学、刻薄霸凌她的女同学，大费周章地抖落出这些俗套玩意，还跟主题一点关系都没有。可以深入的警察线也白白浪费了。
Edgar Wright在《热血警探》后最完整的一次表达，《斯托克》+《黑天鹅》，前半部的纸醉金迷表现得真是太迷人了。
漂亮的厌男片。纽约，伦敦，镜像，阶梯，60年代和复古思潮，让人很难不喜欢。
伦敦聊斋。安雅不怎么适合这个造型吧，不否认她的性感，但她的性感不是导演试图塑造的这种，像个小女孩偷穿妈妈的真丝睡衣高跟鞋去勾引继父。结尾的秀真土，别让我再看见那件粉色衣服了。
版权大户就是不一般
本片告诉我们：租房不讲究风水、穿衣服老从死人身上扒古着的后果，是十分惨烈的。
里面已经说了，伦敦每一个房间，街头都有鬼魂。而这，就是一个关于伦敦的鬼魂的故事。风格也不错，不过，感觉也是想说的太多，尤其是结尾的处理，实在是有些无趣了。
东拼西凑的复古怀旧元素、霓虹美学和镜头语言，镜像内外不同身份的调度，空间内旋转转场，这并不能称之为亮点的基础技法，是二三流导演用于提升影片质量的投机把戏而已。和《前程似锦的女孩》半斤八两，最后大招就这？最后想想，我是来看安雅的。
可以逐帧找彩蛋的程度，迪士尼版的头号玩家，就是彼得潘是不是得罪了主创。
安娜泰勒乔伊太适合复古范儿了，举手投足都是魅力，反衬得女主就是一土妞（不过本来她的设定也确实是），然而前半段营造的气氛太足，后半段剧情就迷之滑坡了，使得反转也显得相当的潦草。
类型所需的迷离气息被华丽的视听取代，个人觉得导演缺少做悬疑、恐怖类型的决心，作为亚类提供了青春片的噱头而已，是那种特别典型的故事一般，但履历出众，拍啥不重要，看点在怎么拍的快项目
镜像/附身部分拍得太赞了！在各种表现主义的霓虹和暗影里，历史的“幽灵”和携带着女性的血与泪一步步吞噬主角，她的觉醒被呈现在一种疯魔的状态里，反而对应了当下的社会现实。“作为男人”将成为一种原罪，它是如此激进，但我们需要正是这样的革命：割破父权的喉咙，啜饮他的鲜血，然后绝不超度他的亡魂。
我想看这部电影 2020-02-01 《soho区惊魂夜》太棒了！！！前半跟预告大差不差略有亮点中规中矩，中段女主探寻真相部分发展突然强行降智，本来想着说这片没救了，不过结局反转升华，剧情和立意双双拔高，我的年度最佳惊悚片！！！
😂把漫画和现实人物结合得很好哎，看到索尼克让我想到当时看到皮卡丘
《前程似锦的包租婆》一部不折不扣的“好看”的电影，这样的好看是用复古年代感，金发美人的摇曳身姿和悬疑砸出来的，一开始以为会有穆赫兰道那种你就是我，我就是你的高概念，但是两位女主的互文关系并没有那么强烈，只是恰巧住在一个屋子里。女性共情，帮助女性变成彼此撕扯又到镜中和解，我觉得这位男导演你极有可能很懂女人！！！里面的男性摄魂怪看得人整个人对男性的欲望都荡然无存了。Matt Smith真是渣帅渣帅的。
降智电影，fashion 学生晚上作业都写不完了还有空睡觉？就怪老师作业布置得太少了，让学生每天晚上想些狗屁搞糟的事。。圣马丁被黑得最惨的一次，一星给安雅
不少人是冲着安雅·泰勒-乔伊来看的吧。
招摇的霓虹街道上，空洞地效仿铅黄虐杀，歇斯底里地复刻灵魂狂欢节。Anya是最佳的障眼法，Diana Rigg也很稳，而Thomasin后段的表演脱节，呈现的“失常”状态甚至很俗气，加上那个糟糕的妆容
我只能说迪士尼家底现在太厚了，各种IP随便缝合，怎么摆烂也无所谓，最后观众还买账吗？
4.5/10。真网大，整个大迷惑，看完后回想第一段《布鲁克林》式女孩进城是想干嘛反讽吗？无聊了长段被霸凌觉醒的戏之后开始了导演熟悉的“致敬环节”，未麻的部屋、闪灵、阴风阵阵等等剧情镜头往里塞，可惜这次没有好听的土嗨金曲兜底变成了四不像。导演对女性是完全没有共情的，但你不是希区柯克啊。
