This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
再次感慨：范偉戲可太好了！戲路之逛啊！片子的編劇攝影剪輯都很讚啊 笑點控制得很好 選覺挺棒！無奈片尾竇驍的黑化反轉感覺唐突了 推冰那段感覺很蠢啊⋯
20220313 反转悬疑，都在一间房子里，正适合范伟的小品基本功！虽然有点牵强硬要有邪不压正的意思，总体还能看！
只能说人贩子真的是罪不容赦的，有时候真的无法想象贩卖妇女儿童的犯罪行为，那样的人还算是人类吗？
挺好的剧情，拍的太松散，有些镜头真没必要。
布局并不是很精巧的一部作品，刻意BUG太多，从运镜到摄影都透露着一股如同《扫黑·决战》一般的网大电影气息
低配版《疯狂的石头》。黑色幽默式的故事，有很多笑点·反转一个接一个
其实还可以的，就是前些年这种类型的看多了。但怎么着这也是部难得完整的作品吧
点映场。又是一个借多线叙事手法，把普通的故事搞悬疑搞复杂。演技在线，编剧差点意思。
7。孩子出现的时候心漏跳半拍，感觉整个故事都被颠覆了。整体依赖太多巧合，结尾有些乏力。但在近年的悬疑电影中还算不错。不如《扬名立万》。
故事还行，但一遍遍回溯略显苍白，显得节奏过慢，加上整体色调和镜头不够突出。
有的时候过度反转比意料之中更令人厌恶，整体气氛是很到位的，作为悬疑片不合格的地方也有，最差的地方是摄影，导演真的挺想显摆自己是摄影指导的，但是玩脱了。看看你摄影的几个片子的短评吧，大家都不喜欢你的小伎俩。
挺好的剧情，拍的太松散，有些镜头真没必要。
反转要出乎预料才好看，电影该比观众快一步，「不速来客」显然没做到。
挺好的，咱不能啥片都按照pulp fiction和大烟枪的标准来要求吧。演技都在线，故事交待也挺清楚。
还不错。几个演员都挺好的。主题我还是很喜欢的。
开头就给我解释了一个成语，什么TMD叫“掩耳盗铃”！一个贼，知道戴手套溜门撬锁，却进屋就点烟，门外又来了人。你TM居然依靠在沙发背面，关键你头比那沙发还显眼。操蛋！！！！
给三星多了，给两星少了。挺没意思的，各种花里胡哨的剪辑和演员自我感觉良好的用力表演。
我觉得挺好，黑色幽默，悬疑，犯罪，感动都有了，过程和叙事方法很有点罗生门的味道。结局好人有好报虽然落俗套，但皆大欢喜。
剧本杀式的电影，运用闪回交代各个人物视角的故事，前期有点乱，后期逐渐有点看头，人物塑造略显苍白，大概算是个低配版《疯狂的石头》吧，以及，致敬的元素有点过于多了，很多地方能看出一些经典电影的影子，范伟演技是全场MVP
