The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
PNW的天气，灯光，音乐，把气氛烘托得完美。剧情肯定经不起推敲，看着玩儿
氛围营造和摄影不错，就是剧本太弱了，女主最后凭借一己之力杀死怪物不太信服，节奏又很慢，最后的反转预示有下一集？
所以这片是想说有的父亲变成怪兽也还是好父亲，有的父亲人模人样干得全是禽兽不如的事情 吗…
和小青一起看。邪恶力量里面的windigo不吓人actually。
前半段铺垫让人难熬中期待，从警察在小屋发现尸体就开始莫名其妙了，女主弑父算是高潮了 从她对手无缚鸡之力的鹿魔挥动棍子开始，之前还是分钟秒杀各个男性的反派，到女主这里就萎了，导演牛逼！
要说我是有多满意，那倒不是，但是这种不搞氛围直接给观众视觉冲击的恐怖片确实要吃香不少。电影前期来说拍得不太美国，清冷的色调和场景反而更像是北欧的作品，不过后面特写的血腥场景和怪物估计会让不少胆小的观众san值狂掉。（越来越想看哭悲了）
再没了。
只有怪物设定有点意思......其他太降智了
怪物出现以后，就这 ？？？这么简单就被一个女老师杀死了 ？？？
虽然是个惊悚片，但是我特别喜欢美国的乡镇生活。我在朱诺和劳德代尔县城生活过几年，陌生人之间相处起来都像是亲戚一样。唯一坏处是没有车真的是不方便，去一趟沃尔玛要开20分钟的车。不知道为什么超市都要开在更远的远郊。
有些一般了，恐怖氛围也一般，不过怪物造型还不错
以北美地区民间传说里的鹿角食人魔“温迪戈”为主角的恐怖电影，开篇以阴沉抑郁的格调娓娓道来，孤僻小孩和他的老师痛苦且不堪回首的童年阴影成为了故事的暗线，然而这一设定到后面却并没有被过分提及，这也是本片一个败笔。除了怪物的设计还中规中矩以外，作为恐怖片真没什么亮点。
电影其实还不错，就是这种害人精女主模板。。
但剧情拖沓，人物行为前后矛盾，高潮剧情戛然而止
怪物寻找的宿主只会是罪孽深重之人……最后寄生到弟弟身上只能证明他也犯下了过错。我相信他姐姐被侵犯的时候他是旁观者，他什么都没有做；受伤的人想着逃离，而他却一直生活在那栋房子。然后他姐姐质问他的时候他只是心虚的回问到“你又不知道他对我做了什么？”以此来减轻自己的负罪感。
谁说这是闪灵续集？完全不挨边，除了景色好看，这是一部非常平庸的全是被讽刺好几遍的桥段穿起来的一部烂片
鋪墊特別好，將恐怖感慢慢滲入骨髓，氛圍搞得神秘陰冷，可惜還是逃不掉高開低走，女主的神勇和怪獸的戰力太草率，路人被秒主角永遠有光環。
鹿力大仙在美国，阴冷色调和黑暗底色什么都看不清
硬件和技术性方面都很棒，但是故事太草草了。看了半天，就这？ 但导演风格蛮喜欢的
(2.5/5)外在的部分包括取景的环境到摄影、再到恶魔的形象设计和影像的质感都很精致，但在情感内核（家庭创伤、亲情）打了一张保守牌的情况下，惊悚和恐怖氛围的设计和营造却也局限地停留在了外部（生理刺激），甚至说眼皮都不带跳一下
