Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
Solid setup that unfortunately did not come together at the end. Cool monster though
一部温迪戈的恐怖片，传统怪物传统套路，宛如来源于三十年前，自然环保、殖民与所谓父权元素应当只是稍有提及，小男孩的演出也中规中矩，导演的镜头语言过于直接，恨不得把温迪哥正面奉上，还不如结合风土人情，还能加剧几分凄厉泠冬的恐惧
故事太过于简单，想表现的创伤后遗症和人的贪婪这两个主题有点脱节...
2.5星，果然是和德尔托罗制作团队有关系的电影，这怪物最后变身后总觉得有股潘神的迷宫里那个怪物的影子。可是故事太寡淡，也就是隔靴搔痒。关于“坏”父亲完全可以说的更深入，父权的彻底崩塌，以及这种“坏”的延续，在电影中还是停留在表面，不过结尾不错算是唯一的亮点。
温迪戈这个怪物各种形态都有呢，光是恐怖片里就出现过好多回，命运2的榴弹炮也有，合着怪物是靠血液接触传播吗，很普通的恐怖片，小演员演的好，那忧郁悲伤的小眼神儿，真可怜
影片的基调和画面我还是很欣赏的，有种美国偏远山区小镇的阴冷肃杀风，但剧情就乏善可陈了
[1]可惜这个故事“前不着村，后不着店”。
陀螺就是出了几张原画吧...可惜还是撑不起来...
打心眼里佩服网飞可以做到爆款火出天际，烂片烂到骨子里的本事。我怎么也想不到这片子是贾德.阿帕图拍的，不知网飞开了什么价码，再次佩服网飞，有钱真好。
悬疑氛围不错
你这瞎几把改的还不如原著呢。演Lucas小男孩演技不错
有点不伦不类了，要说邪教就彻底点，要怪物就别扯宗教。
看预告的时候都没想到这部会撞上恐怖片大年，原著很短，对这种在氛围和怪物造型上突出的恐怖片应该说是挺友好，结尾的处理我还是更喜欢黑森灵这种不强行灭怪的形式
阴冷黑暗的氛围烘托得很不错👌阁楼怪物的形象也很有特色
及格吧 小男孩演的不错 在大人面前毫不逊色
看前面基本就猜到是“温迪哥”的传说了，对影调和氛围的把控相当沉浸，怪物身上撇去了原传说里单纯的细长身影更添了一丝邪教图腾意味。既然故事也明点了本是警示意味的传说，可是小男孩和父亲之间的难以割舍除了看出男孩全片演技最棒外没别的，姐弟之间的情感缝合也没有，故事的意味感没有随着女主看出小男孩照射自己身上的童年不幸来通过高潮形成一个完整闭环，试听上是唯一享受了
我想看一个简单的恐怖片。简单 低级 暴力 直接。Witcher里面关于leshy鹿首精的任何一个任务的剧情都要比这个恐怖片的剧情要好的太多。我想看个好看的电影 我不需要看一个电影教我做人科普哲学思想连带出来千面英雄 神话下的俄狄浦斯情结 女性觉醒。我就想看个他妈的简单的他妈的电影。真的特别怀念90年代00年代的怪兽片，比如科洛夫档案 迷雾。咱们把故事说好了真的不难。羊崽 soho 这个。今年太多烂片了 真的太难看了。绿骑士还不错 最起码可以把一个神话故事原模原样演出来。（这就算是很不错了。）
是有点好笑，但是片子长到新鲜劲儿一过我就开始无比厌烦
Wendigo和男人一样。虚弱的时候都顶不住女人两三下。
和小段一起看。其实是一部克系电影，但强行套入文艺风景片模式，让恐怖片无聊了许多，惊吓度也完全为零。
