Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
在网大里算不错的了，不过最后撑船的，是随时都绑着炸药吗？太搞笑了点

网大拍成这样很牛了吧，每个人在自己叙述的故事里都是正直的，但在客观叙事下做的事情却比怪力乱神更可怕……
还是能看的，评价要结合国情，后半段确实草率，但也没有办法，如果建国可以成精，我寻思导演巴不得把贞子都嫰过来。大环境下能把场子圆成这个样子非常不错了，终于不再是出现幻觉或者嗑药的场景。
至少是个完整的故事，网大都在努力了，院线却在摆烂，魔幻逻辑。
很不错很不错，借故事可以拍出让人惊恐的鬼怪，按照人心来拍又可以很好的让故事圆满。
既然取这个名字就整点怪谈异志啊，谁想看人心啊！！
被名字耽误了的电影，网大真是越来越让人惊喜了
片子还是有点《罗生门》的意境和感觉的，没有怪力乱神的故事倒是很好的反映了人性的本质，算是一部不错的网大，强于很多院线电影
引用-“被捂嘴也要把实话说明白的情怀”
故事本身讲的挺好 真没必要套个恐怖片的壳子
竟然还不错，3分半的片子，由于是网大，又是带着镣铐跳舞，所以鼓励一下。一个网大，只要能把故事讲通，讲出一个鬼故事的水平，就可以了。
可以啊这网大！就是人之恶还是太脸谱化和形式化了。赞赞 不枉我冒着死线来看😬
较近作，更直给的概念阐述影响人物状态的摆动，异化感削弱、伦理性增强。随之在具体的情境展现中，也存在分化。前二幕的surgery show浓墨重彩，尾幕的surgery show却回归质朴，分不清哪一极是更为熟悉的柯南伯格。唯一容易把握的，是每一场景的起始视点对场景的引出和近作相似，奇妙的感觉。人物逐渐在阐述中进入混沌。
用一种超认知的东西，展现一种陈腐的意义。近未来，当处理肿瘤的各种方式成为了一种艺术形式，人们已经不在乎死与生、爱与被爱，性也在变种，所有都在变种，那人类的认知也在变种。
能看这片都是奔着鬼片看的，不然会大失所望。打着鬼怪的幌子我都会减一星
感官刺激是表象，艺术概念是形式，政治喻言才是核心。影片前半段用一场艺术概念秀，来展现行为艺术家索尔·滕泽对身体的掌控，同时也展现了人们对掌控身体的痴迷：当身体有痛觉时，我们用抚摸捆绑抽打来寻求刺激，当身体不再有痛觉后，我们用切割器官来制造快感，折腾身体是人类通往高潮的唯一途径。后半段则是政治喻言，身体即政治，政治即控制，个体通过顺应器官来掌控身体，资本通过收割器官来掌控身体，政府通过注册器官来掌控身体，谁掌控了身体，谁就掌控了进化的定义权，三方势力看似暗流涌动，但如同行为艺术家在结尾处做出的选择一样，实际上个体始终处于主导地位。
有个反思的点，一味的帮助别人，最后反而被其所害。让恶人自食恶果，也是宗旨了。
逐渐试图想要把故事讲清，从头到尾说散发的那股子f*ing charming的气质足够了。我的痛苦变成了你的快乐，当surgery is reality，所有的恶之趣味变成一场迷人的危险，刺激与感官所调动的是第二意识的脑子的震荡，所见即感官。我身体的痛苦成为他人骚动的渴望，身体机械势能的血液在流动。变异的怪物在独舞，痛苦的大脑被钻空，我的痛感变成新型性爱。折腾与调度，果然第二意识的归属依然是，安乐死。我得到释放了。
禁言30天之后的奋力补标：编剧真的算是不错了！
