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).
影片虽是以MAN为标题，但却用她作为影片的主体，通过她的视角，她的心理，侧面反映与审视他们给予她的暴力、恐惧与侵犯。而这里“他们”，即MAN，也并非特指任何或某一个具体的人，这是一个复数，就像从树上落下并散落在地的果实，每一颗果实间都是同构的，抽象的个体，都是她内心的忧扰，而这一忧扰也正像片末所呈现的那一连串的男生男的行为，每一个从另一个人身体诞生到孕育再到诞生，他们一个接替一个，作为复数的MAN，作为具有同构性和抽象性的果实，作为恐惧和侵犯的化身，如梦魇般徘徊与缠绕在身旁。
概念大于效果。没有传递出多少恐怖的效果，相反让观众感到恐惧的只是脑补出的现实片段，更确切说是迎合了女拳的仇男想象。一部好的恐怖片应该是虚拟空间与现实的共振，而不是用现实来反哺华而不实的影像。
看得出來導演的中肯~~但是原罪~自大~利己~慾望~渴望愛之類的~~不感興趣不關心~~
把女性对男性的恐惧原因以及男权无形的压迫构成，放大、拆解又表现出来，影像风格很赞，这个女性视角也是没想到加兰表现得这么好。就是这个放大解构得太明显惹…
277th 绝对惊艳，可以说2022年度最佳恐怖片。【男人们】失去权利掌控，就算你是受害者也照样把你污名化。
本片创造了新型的恶心与恐怖，却又被有些悲伤的主题轻易化解了：男性因为不允许自己在亲密关系中展示软弱所以催化出虐待与暴力的方式害人害己 ，其实他们只是想要爱。 在我看来并不是对男性的恶意或讽刺，而是想要表达“你表达与索求爱的方式对女性来说是多么有压迫感”。希望我爸看它。
Dear Garland: Try to lay some decent plots as groundwork then upon that elaborate on visuals, not the other way round; for instance, at any rate there were some plots, not that they were nearly as stunning as the looks by any means, for the visuals to be based upon in your Annihilation, were there not? Please stick to that formula, comprende?
最近两年最好的恐怖片 远好于同一题材的《隐形人》
A24佳作
单纯觉得电影不咋地，反正不合我胃口，不是因为女权不女权的问题。电影里隐喻的概念太多，场景也就那样吧，女主没有什么主动性是最让我厌烦的，就最开头来说，家暴控制狂老公自杀了不是应该高兴吗？看到这里我有三分欣慰，终于有男人以自杀作为对爱人的惩罚了。
各种隐喻，各种画面，模糊且独特
本质还是拿女权说事儿。影像质量上乘，尤其是色彩搭配，很吸睛。前半段精致后半段鬼扯，完全不讲逻辑了。血浆割手来路不明，人肉套娃哗众取宠，蒲公英隐喻母体还是精子？有点乱。
这些男人除了女主前夫都是一个人演的吧，真是这些油腻猥琐暴力神经的男人毁了这绝美的风景和房子，女主头脑很清醒。
Mind blowing. 希望所有女性拥有女主面对伤痛自我疗愈的能力和面对压迫坚决反击的勇气。自然的不代表是合理的，应当承受的。
结尾可谓经典了，看看当长长眼界呗。意识流助于催眠，先睡为敬。
但女主脑海中前夫“亡魂”对妻子说，他只是想得到爱，又让我觉得此片不止在讲述“仇男”、“厌男”，不过是从生物学和社会学角度，讲述男女充满矛盾、难以调和却彼此需要又偶尔相爱。
开头是搞笑的，而且景色拍得很好，就是节奏很慢。有一块星空很美，但很假，就有点怪。
壮观可叹（本片和贝尔法斯特都向下发现了HDR风光片的可用之材）
一个man必须用野蛮、自私、幼稚、自大、虚伪去向womem勒索爱和裂缝，man被想要不断复制自身的原罪牢牢锁在脑中，永远期待有一个专属women来崇拜跪倒在自己脚下。
精湛的恐男电影，所有男的在剧中，结尾都变成了同一个人，最终变成女主死去的丈夫，父权绑架女性，控制女性，究竟要到何种程度才可以停止？谁也不知道，于是有了这部电影。
