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?
极度不推荐。尽管全程持“大白伞盖佛母咒”护体，但看到最后还是觉得晦气。这种全程心理暗示玩观众的做法，就算都是导演瞎编的，只要相信的人多了，一样有影响。这个导演，要么坏，要么蠢。
我不喜欢开头那种故意为了伪记录设计的那些东西，我真的不喜欢这样的结局。
柯孟融在片子里对观众的诅咒搞得我根本不敢骂了.......只敢浅夸伪纪录片的形式、布满巧思的细节、自圆其说还带浅反转的剧本真远超及格线，主观镜头有限的视角对于恐怖氛围的营建我真深深刻刻体会到了。但咱就是说，这最后一招够恶毒熬！
没有密恐人士出来谴责导演吗？？？其实看寄样阿爹往桌子上砸脑袋的时候，我特别怕会有jump scare，结果居然没有！！！这个片子最大的缺点应该就是非纪录片视角太多了吧！！！
还挺不错的，虽然有些套路在恐怖片里比较常见，但它绝对值7分以上。至于诅咒观众这点我真的笑了《午夜凶铃》、《厉鬼将映》哪个没诅咒观众啊，剧情需要嘛，至少我本人是经常看恐怖片的，丝毫没觉得被冒犯
导演系朋友:《咒》对视觉残像的运用很有意思。二次元朋友：大黑佛母应该和慈姑观音打一架。普通观众（我）：啊！虫子！退！退！退！
第一次看到恶意铺满全片的恐怖片，喜欢不起来，迷信的人晦气，不迷信的人恶心
虽然还是挺无聊，但真的有被恶心到，越老越看不下血腥的场面。人的意志会有意无意地引导自己走上某条道路，看似是被邪教土术的咒语所影响，其实还是含有挺强的自我意志，也就是所谓的“不作死就不会死”，求佛拜神不过是个安慰剂，咒语也同样如此。人在求一些东西的时候就像望进大黑佛母设下的欲望深渊，得到一些就会失去一些，不单是于己，可能还会作用到他人身上，即所谓祸福相倚、生死有名。如果是电影院大银幕看一定会很享受。
还挺感人的 因为吃了剧透 所以特意回避了咒语洗脑 做为伪纪录片恐怖类型氛围很好 但是还是想说谁不吃不喝六天都会寄的哈哈哈哈哈
剧情、惊悚、人物设定全方位拉垮，狗屁恐怖片，看了一半就觉得晦气 @Netflix
宗教黑恶势力抬头，竟要认割肉献祭。原来是歹人作恶。凡是压迫黑暗阴影的，必被其吞噬。
我是多多少少有点相信的，虽然嘴上讲不信不信，但是到了佛堂庙宇之类的地方，再粗制劣造的偶像也会让我莫名心慌。
本来冲这个降头减一星，但是看到那么多只打一星的，我就给个五星了:)
恐怖氛围不错，但是除此以外呢？到底有什么优秀之处，这种片子为什么能提名获奖？这大概是我最大的困惑～因为我不知道花了将近两个小时的时间，我到底看了一些什么？
很一般，恐怖片里的平庸之作，但是烂片太多，这部还算及格。
审美真的很不错很多画面非常好看三星都给美术了,但整体质感更像恐怖游戏而且因为非要用类似伪记录片的手法拍就挺出戏的,伪记录片形式在恐怖片里都饱和了吧,而且也没卷出什么名堂甚至一部不如一部...和观众互动的部分想法很好但最后的视觉错觉本该可以更出彩让恐怖真的从屏幕蔓延出现实的然而没达到那个效果有点可惜

上帝视角在这样的一个以伪纪录片为卖点的电影里显得太过理直气壮，以及过于频繁的视角切换只是把本就羸弱的剧作与情感完全扭成一团，电影表达混沌到根本懒得去琢磨导演的真正意图，只剩一个还算有趣的结尾在支撑。
