The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
西方电影中的中国元素经常是粤港台风味，中国字是繁体字，角色言语是粤语，弄不弄就要舞狮，家里经常有牌位供奉，这种文化并不是中国文化的主流，所以经常会被中国观众所嫌弃。本片就是如此，本片中的角色都是外籍华人，生活的区域是外国的唐人街，还出现了道士作法等封建迷信剧情，这些剧情并不能代表真正的中国文化。这种伪中国文化电影是不可能引进国内上映的。
本来以为是个可爱精巧的romcom，结果是探索人性的剧情片。我一开始是比较同感南希，到后来会比较同感里奥。我觉得如果我是里奥，第三次会面之后我绝不会再见南希了。她越界了，但是剧情表现的好像是她推到里奥的成长。爱玛汤普森的表演绝对是影后级别的，但是我觉得编剧对南希太宽容了。
预告比正片好看，相较于我的期待来说正片比较失望，没看之前看到超过8的评分，在想哇看来不会差，但看完之后再想，为什么居然能有8？？以中国传统文化为背景的想法很好，但剧情和表现形式稍微有点低龄化，内容也有点浅和散。不过和pixar相对比较常见的邪不胜正啊阖家欢乐啊的主题比起来，中国传统中子女与父母的关系更加复杂，所以这种压抑和反叛我们来看应该是更加感同身受的。不过话说回来，追星这点也很真实哈哈哈。整个片子最给分的是红熊猫真的好可爱！
自《伯德小姐》之后第二次感受到了什么叫强烈的共鸣。
艾玛汤普森把我约炮时的内心活动全演出来了。😢
女儿要和妈妈和解，妈妈要和自己的妈妈和解，更重要的是，要和自己和解，认可接受自己。
用变身成红色毛茸茸怪物这个意象暗示少女初潮，这个想法非常巧妙。整个故事最大的进步是，终于让人觉得作为主角的华裔不是那么刻板印象了。不过，有个人设上的微妙矛盾是，长辈（父母）的特点像出自1985-1995年代，而孩子（女主）的个性则像是2010-2020世代的，推测是编剧写到爸妈就代入了自己的回忆，同时想贴近当代年轻人，所以刻画主角用了更与时俱进的设定。另一个违和感是，迪士尼老爱用一个适合A矛盾（自我-独特-反同化）的魔幻设定去表达B矛盾（自我-成长-反权威），因而不如亚当斯一家那种一路黑到底来得有趣。最后，无论如何也无法接受小熊猫是这个样子，脸上标志性的深棕色泪痕没有，耳朵也不太对劲，而且非得那么胖……就好像阿宝的尾巴是黑色。话说，当代家长发现女儿有这能力，早就抖音直播准备参加偶像活动了吧？
第三幕极大缓解了“形态”过度复古的第一幕带来的cringe
實在捨不得Pixar被老鼠這樣糟蹋 遺憾...
东亚家庭文化对一个孩子的影响，真的是好大好大………
电影很好,不喜欢的原因,是很多地方,处理让人反感,好人是白人,妈妈要么像个变态,要么像奥特曼里面的怪兽,演唱会出来成为女人,在宅子里面做法式,周围还有邻居,谁知道不恐怖.小熊猫很可爱,母女关系描写到位
红色熊猫是13岁少女内心的反叛，是不想继续当逆来顺受的乖乖女，是摆脱讨好型人格的束缚，母亲一直在束缚住自己的欲望，而年轻一代只想认清自己、发掘自己、改变自己！
小熊猫蛮可爱，福瑞控竟是我自己。用红熊猫形容女孩初潮还蛮简单易懂的。时长很短，观看体验流畅，很套路但不无聊。妈妈的形象非常像刘敏涛。
片长短 节奏紧 逻辑差 故事平 偏低幼 小熊猫是很可爱 so what？我已经对只会讲道理的皮克斯失望了
母女关系、追星女孩，导演是真的懂。喜欢这个爸爸角色，“与你身体里的野兽共处”
和之前某个时刻的自己和解了😭😭😭😭😭我不必感到羞耻的😭我不必😭😭狠狠共情😭熊猫太可爱了，我好爱那个动情的眼神动画😋😋
做的很棒
在取材、人设和内核上都很Chinese的美国动画，把青春期的生理变化和叛逆心理与民族传统文化在现代化过程中的矛盾结合在一起作为叙事冲突，故事并不深奥，但已经是一部成功的跨文化碰撞作品。
虽然不太喜欢这个闹腾的胖姑娘，整体情节走向也略显低幼，但必须要承认它隐喻绝妙，也很欣赏这波文化输出，看到了东西两种价值观在片中的碰撞。对追星少女的心理捕捉也很珍贵。
脸谱又低幼，而且我真不明白美国人为啥觉得“性需求”就这么重要，13岁的孩子追星多是单纯喜欢美好的事物，根本不是因为性幻想好吧。
