New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
都尼玛看的盗版还觉得晦气 导演还觉得你们这群白嫖怪晦气
8.0分
看完觉得我也能当编剧了：大家请看这条裙子，有人说是“蓝黑”色，有人却说是“白金”色，这就是意念的力量，我远程发功控制了你们的大脑。
题材挺好的 半纪录片了 当迷你剧随便看看吧 爱看女主演
对伪纪录片的恐怖片已经完全免疫，怎么处理摄影机的在场永远是一个大问题，以及伪纪录片的形式已经让恐怖片完全放弃了视听的技法，让拍恐怖片成了一个非常粗糙且廉价的造物，以至于对恐怖片评价难以抬高。个人而言，更喜欢技术流氛围流恐怖片，惊吓流伪纪录片流尤为次等。
装神弄鬼，故弄玄虚，这玩意儿根本不能叫电影吧，只是一个加长版的整蛊视频，怎么这么无聊，还恶意营销，yue了。女主一对着镜头独白我就想快进，她侧面像刘若英、正面像海清，实在太违和，演技也捉急，毫无代入感，恐怖片真不是随便谁都能演的。
这TM是什么鬼
导演没能给观众下到咒，但我怀疑东南亚的恐怖片导演是不是被集体下咒了：除了伪纪录片形式，已经不会拍片了。PS：昨天出资源，我在群里做了个标记：看到明天会不会掉1分——近年来，这种没出资源前8分左右恐怖片，一出资源一夜掉1分的事太多了。这恐怕也是个无法解的咒。
整体观感不错，不过电影还是美化了，可怕的是现实
打满分因为分过低，这个质量的恐怖题材电影打三星以下的我确信是纯种沙币。看到了吓到了，甚至人家美术组出来说假的假的没有这个宗教还是相信了，晦气的是这种观众才对
我真的很想问是买行销了嘛？ 明明电影院里很多人都无聊到玩手机啊？真的有这么多人觉得好看？拜托 看恐怖片无聊到唉声叹气玩手机诶！ 9:特地赶回板桥秀泰 浪费我260还要打车回家 我真的会谢 而且很多分镜有昆池岩or温子仁系列的即视感 真的会谢
花了半瓶紅酒的時間把《咒》看完了，婆羅門教和印度教還有藏傳佛教沒有跳出來打人真的算是給足神臉你們這群凡夫俗子。活生生用大黑天致敬空手指和蓮蓬乳，神話原型傳到台灣改吧改吧變成邪教的立意真的站得住腳嗎？昆池岩女鬼rap都覺得你老六不起來。火佛修一念成閩南語再翻譯過來也是禍福相依，再翻譯成國語就是不轉不是中國人。
感应灯闪瞬移姑娘，心灵动画回放定格，大红灯笼活人烧烤，鬼打墙纸盆吊颈车顶，仙姑脱发反脸暴走，千手隧道无限深脸……东西怪谈+伪纪录一并乱抄，把无耳芳一都能抄成印度佛母邪神。虽然原创元素太少，但片里片外煽情营销挺会玩，各种本土化做得还算有诚意。跟朋友讨论后对片子有了不同认识，剧本做得真挺好
晦气党们，有没有一种可能，咱们这样的盗版观众，根本享受不到来自正版的诅咒？
为Jodie Comer细致入微的演技鼓掌，可塑性很强。演得了小人物，也撑得起商业爆米花，更能抗起super killer的疯癫。好的演员是多面手。
诅咒观众是我没想到的，图案太复杂没记住，咒语不认识我也不会念😂
期待近一年的华语恐怖电影，乡俗宗教+语言在伪纪录片形式的加持下代入感不错，伪纪录片通病-无论何时何地都要拍-难以避免，剧情算是意料之内，中规中矩，所幸有叙述剪辑弥补，时间线交叉慢慢抵达真相，层层诱导观众的互动设计并不新鲜，但似乎仍有不少人真情实感上纲上线，不由得想起某款游戏，反思迷信却因一张符纸而被特定地区封禁，有种虚构作品内核与现实互相呼应的感觉。
5/10 把大家叫出来，就为了这点事啊。 DV在拍煽情家庭录像混剪素材时还挺合适的，但这不伦不类的手持（动机、剪辑、配乐）到底有什么意义，就为了拍几段《逃生》pov复刻吗
好看！但 湾湾最好看的恐怖片还得是《双瞳》！！！
哪怕没有这些傻逼我依然给满分，因为这是华语恐怖电影，中国的鬼片真的看一部少一部了
