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.
❹这个破案的过程难道不值得再一部片子吗。
不知道是否是错觉，某几个镜头的构图很像「寄生虫」（出现在立交桥前后的镜头，忘了是前面还是后面），可能是我片看得少，也许致敬的是其他片。
确实反转和悬疑，也拍得合格，演员们表现也不错。就是不够惊喜，黑色幽默有，只是不够好。巧合利用得好就是好，如何叠加产生剧情需要的冲突和设计，恰如其分表现出来，难哦。窦骁的小怂外卖员和最后的财欲焚心的黑道大佬似的，只能说明，这个男人只是平时怂，一旦有切口什么坏事都是做得出来。缺了一个给自己的借口而已。
一个多视角的封闭空间剧情片，影片前半程节奏不错，入戏很快，悬疑感很强，不过后半程节奏乱了，显得拖沓。配乐有几段让我魂穿怪奇物语，给我整出科幻感来了。
特别多的反转。范伟大叔很棒。片尾曲很好听。

惊喜！太久没见这么扎实的国产剧本了，罗生门式的人物自我讲述，外卖员一次次骑车入场犹如狂奔的罗拉，小孩子出现时笼罩在主角身上的光已抽离了悬疑本身令人触动，而整体的反转反转再反转，是太多年前反转剧的值得消磨时光。
多视角多时间线这种比较各色的模式，你很难不把他和前人的做对比，对比之后总会有落差，所以这个模式突破挺难的，3星就当理解一下。
整个剧情设计反转都很好，很出乎意料，只是最后这个反转，小马作为最后隐藏线，整个人设完全崩塌了，之前很多事都不合理了，直接崩完了
完成度非常高了，而且成片的多视角的来回时间线叙事使用的这很到位，但是这个底确实不够味道，前面的剧情在制造层层上升的紧张气氛，最后的底收在外卖小哥上实在对不起前面，感觉让人一泄如注，成为全片的命门，否则就是更好的佳作了，看来编剧编到这里也是黔驴技穷了。另外就是范伟的演出实在很棒。
为了反转而反转的片子，看了半小时感觉人物和台词立不住，整个故事都很刻意，的确很像剧本杀的感觉。但是我没玩过，所以也没啥兴趣。
一个杀了前女友和前女友的新男友的送餐员，一个想要骗钱的小三，一个又贩卖残疾儿童又包小三的老板，两个贩卖残疾儿童的犯罪团伙，一个想要偷钱给孩子治病的老爸，一个想要救女儿的曾经是警察的老爸。七个人阴差阳错撞在一个屋里的故事。外加一个莫名其妙踹了一个多小时门也报不了警的编外人员。剧作结构，节奏和表演还有摄影都特别好，就是故事太不接地气了且漏洞很多，一个曾经是警察的人去找自己的女儿也不报警，愣是给自己的朋友打电话也不报警，自己的朋友也是踹了一小时门，很莫名其妙。
影片通过黑色幽默的方式叙述了几个人物阴差阳错的在密室巧合的参与了一场犯罪交易。导演通过多视角非线性的方式，形成了反转不断的观感，在国产同类型片里，完成度算不错的。悬疑的氛围尚可，附带一点点惊悚，叙事节奏有点乱，全片看下来，剪辑中的镜头重复点的运用和衔接点有点瑕疵，故事推进时快时慢，导致整体还是显得较慢。而故事中大量的巧合汇集也可能会遭人诟病。总体也没什么大毛病，窦骁作为反转的主要人物，最后演技差口气。结局停在警察入室，戛然而止可能更好，彩蛋没必要。三星半
密室悬疑，黑色幽默，小说电影，算是国内类型里比较少见的整体很工整的代表，优点是人物关系多而不乱，层层递进故事时也比较连贯没那么多废话和铺垫
「制度之下」类型的电影，这种电影类型都有一个环境大前提，人物需要在环境中不断角力来完成目的，要素就是：一种制度、选择、牺牲，电影最终好不好看也大概率取决于这三点。《不速之客》做得还不错，多种叙事和反转看得就是个爽，把「考验人性」、「意外与惊喜」的点营造的都很规整，这考研的可不单单是做电影的剪辑，内在的设定更重要，比如圆形筒⼦楼暗示了故事结构，开始是个小圆，因为信息有限，后期变成⼀个环套着另⼀个环，直至最后的拼图完成。故事线也是精巧，很多细节可以琢磨，值得二刷。
故事场景只有一间房，回溯式不断反转的叙事手法以及演员的表演都相当优秀。剧情意外性不足但保持了全程的紧张感和悬疑气氛，有零星出色的笑点。好人都不死的结尾力度差了一点，敢问放走孩子后还妄图嫁祸的脑回路？为鼓励这类重情节+叙事技巧而非大牌明星+特效的国产片加一星
不知道是否是错觉，某几个镜头的构图很像「寄生虫」（出现在立交桥前后的镜头，忘了是前面还是后面），可能是我片看得少，也许致敬的是其他片。
预期以上，节奏感很好。结尾感觉可以更有意思一点。
也是想用叙事手段来讲电影的，但是真的没有那种灵活机巧的感觉，非常简单不烧脑，就是讲一个小故事，确实没啥意思。
低配石头，多线条故事交叉，不过节奏有些松，有点拉胯，所以没有那么深的投入感
