这片子说来也有趣，剧情故事我还真没怎么看明白，之前看海报以为是水怪加宗教巫术题材的，结果还真不完全是，气氛和环境确实渲染的很好，虽然恶魔总共也就出现了三次吧，但那种急迫感十分到位，连我妈在一旁看了都跟着喊快跑快跑，不过这人物动机我不是很懂，就因为接替自己老师去调查，所以也被诅咒了？那大胡子母子俩又为什么要帮他呢？是我看片不仔细吗？结尾不转发就被干我能明白，但就影片大半部分安德鲁斯的调查令我不解，他忙来忙去最后调查出什么了？恶魔形象还是挺有趣的，大胡子妈妈演得真好！阿苯
与人斗其乐无穷...整体清洁又优雅，虽然舒适但有时显得有点太端着，最后十分钟特别精彩，片尾火车尖啸着驶过遮蔽真相的设置很惊艳。特别喜欢恶魔出现时的烟雾表现，恶魔本体因技术受限做得好特摄，还有点对眼，略微破坏氛围fancyclown
不论观众是否愿意承认，故事最终还是完全work out，值得一提的是，kate bush的hounds of love就采样了本片的台词，林中恶魔，爱的猎犬，当真是巧妙的对照老爷你慢点走
魔鬼又像狗又像猴子还蛮好看
