Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
真是可惜...题材这么好的片子拍成这样..小女主那条超能力的线一点都不需要，除非你说听电话的能力是妹妹的，剧情稀烂，看下来就像在玩游戏一样没有一点紧迫感。
本质上还是在讲青少年成长，元素（雨天、黄雨衣、红靴子、气球）和内核都在致敬《小丑回魂》；小女孩梦境那条线有些鸡肋，对情节发展没起到太大推动作用；配乐加分，小男孩逃脱部分用了Pink Floyd的《on the run》，循序渐进的旋律和紧凑的鼓点把焦躁、惊恐、紧张的氛围烘托出来了～
与一般常见的犯罪片子不一样，本片的重点不在于刻画罪犯的动机，而在于男主在遇到灾祸时，不屈服，不灰心，永不放弃的精神。
故事简单但剧情绝不简单，看得我提心吊胆，结局绝对比博燃，不错。另外，超喜欢小姑娘，真飒
这路过的时候一刀捅死是不是电影就结束了。。回过头来说这部片子呢。。没有太多惊悚恐怖的元素。。
通灵妹妹干啥去了？。
掳童犯到底为嘛绑小孩杀小孩，结尾也不说一下。剧情有些闪断，前面妹妹刚拿石头跟校霸打了一架还被踢了一脸血，后一镜头啥事没有。
芬尼之所以能成功，是因为他站在了巨人的肩膀上。质量还不错，起码设定很新奇，故事该有的波折也有了，前面铺垫有点长，而且很多东西很多余。恐怖其实就一两个镜头，R级也就一两个镜头，看着还挺过瘾的。
3.5 完成度比Sinister高，但惊悚度没有达到预期，比IT更加kids-friendly。好在节奏控制得不错，结尾也处理得很好。和《险恶》一起服用效果更佳。
借由“电话”这个具象，给予生死以沟通的机会，像是同一个人的不同选择，叠加逃生的试错，最终走向正确的逃亡之路。
所以兄妹二人都有超能力吗 一开始以为结局是黑暗的
扯蛋的地方过多，胜在节奏紧凑、调度还行和氛围稍微到位。
还是非常满意的😊，刚刚好的一部电影哈哈哈哈
挺不错的。没想到是happy ending。Someone lost in a baseball game but won in life
又上当了，不是恐怖片是青少年励志片。虽然是r级，但不知道观众里为什么混进了青少年，散场以后在场外摩拳擦掌，作为青少年励志片挺燃的。伊桑霍克戏份少得可怜是没想到的。
两兄妹感情真的很好👏👏👏Finney很聪明也很努力突破自我！没有一次尝试是拉胯的这多难得！就是说看得很舒适！
小男主眼神有点像第一季哥谭市的小老爷，以至于伊桑霍克被干了的时候我心疼了他一秒😩
蛮有趣的。但是里面的一些点没有讲的很明白。
很棒的结构和剧本！很新颖～尤其是每一种曾经失败的逃生策略都没有浪费！！最后芬尼自信的模样爽爆了
这个音效弄的我被吓到了，妹妹演的气质好棒好喜欢
