不死的讨债人

　　You wake up in a shabby hotel room with no idea how you got there. You can’t recall your name. You discover there seem to be other young women in other rooms in the same predicament, though one of them seems to know your name: Anne. After an unpleasant encounter with a rather large cockroach, you have a screaming fit. That’s when the nurses arrive to sedate you. And by the way, when night falls, you’ll need to escape from a killer demon with the bloodied head of a deer.
　　Faces of Anne relies heavily on elements of the slasher film – and in many ways, that’s exactly what it is. But the film is also a puzzle, whose central question – Why is Anne here? – allows us to explore theories as to its solution until the very last moment. Are we inside a video game? An escape room? The mind of someone with multiple personalities? The elaborate and nihilistic fantasy of a deranged serial killer? It’s nothing new to remark that the best horror films are often those that reflect the fears of society; this film builds a clever – and viscerally terrifying – analogy of some of the difficulties faced by today’s young people.

　　美国深海勘查潜艇“赛任1号”在一次例行任务中失事，当局命令潜艇设计师（主人公）组织一支由军人和各类科学家构成的小队，乘坐另一艘同型潜艇“赛任2号”下海救援“赛任1号”，成员里面有两个女性，其中一个是潜艇设计师的前妻。
　　搜索的线索是“赛任1号”上面的一只“黑匣子”。救援队据此潜航到一个非常隐蔽的海沟。途中这艘黄色潜艇被一个巨大的白色不明物体包裹住，艇长用电击法驱走这个怪物。三名潜水员出艇勘查，发现这里的海藻发生过变异，大得出奇。一名潜水员遭隐藏在海藻林间的异形生物突袭而亡，另两名生还者采集了一些变异的海藻后返回潜艇。
　　潜艇为了躲避变异生物的袭击，进入了海沟内部探险，结果发现海沟最底部有一个巨大空洞，潜艇浮出水面，艇员们穿着如同宇航服的特种防护衣进入这个幽深的洞穴，发现内部竟然有人工开凿的痕迹，里面到处都是变异生物，有的类似巨型蜜蜂，有的类似海蛇和恐龙的杂交体，并且所有的生物身上都带有剧毒。
　　队员们在留守在潜艇中的通讯指挥员的指示下不断深入，寻找遗失的黑匣子。然而当他们在洞内巡视时，一头异形怪物穿破一名队员的保护罩，进入他的体内，队员们被迫将其击毙。
　　同时，潜艇上的变异海藻入侵了潜艇上的饮水系统，接触海藻或者饮用了被海藻污染的水，都会被侵蚀逐渐变为海藻的饲料，一个杂役兵因此感染而死。
　　队员们划着橡皮筏返回潜艇途中，又被水中的异形逐个消灭。
　　潜艇设计师和两个女队员以及一个男科学家继续在洞中考察。他们发现了一个实验室，在一具干尸面前的电脑上查到了所有的秘密，原来这个海沟是美国政府遗弃的一个研究生物武器的秘密基地，科学家通过生物基因杂交生产出了大量的生物武器，但是不知是何原因试验发生事故，所有的科学家被那些生物杀死，无一幸免。
　　他们试图炸毁试验基地，不料在一个基因交换室遇到了最可怕的怪物------一个竖挂在墙壁上的多脚海星。在大家用步枪抵抗这个海星的时候，一个男科学家被海星巨大的触手卷走，一个女队员则被海星吸进口中……
　　任务结束，旧情鸳鸯回到潜艇上，却被一直呆在潜艇中的通讯指挥员截住并吐露实情：其实根本不存在什么黑匣子，这次行动的真正目的就是取回生物试验的那张资料光盘，所以他才一步步引导队员们接近那个嗜血实验室，而且第一批返回的队员们有两人本来可以免受异形攻击的，也是他从中作祟将舱门反锁，让那两个队员活活的被异形拉进水中……
　　通讯指挥员实现了自己的全盘计划，把幸存的三人：旧情鸳鸯和艇长关在寄生着变异海藻的船舱内，幸而潜艇设计师把那张要命的光盘留在手中，提出和通讯指挥员合作，将其骗入船舱并被海藻感染而死。
　　正当幸存者逃离危险之地时，却发现艇长没有跟随他们一起进入逃生舱，艇长告诉他们，刚才制服通讯指挥员时他不小心被海藻感染了，决定牺牲自己毁灭这个秘密基地。
　　最后，那对夫妻带着光盘乘逃生舱逃离了恐怖深渊，回到陆地上揭露政府的阴谋，而艇长则启动了潜艇的自毁系统，炸毁了海沟的出口，将那些变异生物永远封闭在海底深渊之中。

 本片是1958年恐怖科幻片《变形怪体》的重拍版，比起30年前的那部在技术上和情节上都有了显著的改进。史提夫．安德鲁和同伴发现了一块从太空飞来的大陨石，起初他们并没有发现这块石头有什么不同之处，但偶然间他们发现了这块石头里藏着外星来的生物，并且它们可能会给镇上的人带来灾难。但两个年轻人的话自然不会让大人们相信，在外星异形接连袭击了镇上的超市、餐厅和电影院之后，大人们才开始相信两人所言非虚。

　　A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
　　Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
　　This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
　　One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.
