Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
房子装修挺好看的…男人不管什么时候都是敷衍了事。
不痛不痒 剧情平平 也没有能抓住眼球的地方
正经3分片 不多不少 刚好3分 想起留学的时候 卧室也没窗户 但老子当天就去搞了个窗帘 你说气不气😊
地铁恍见包中物，氛围拉满造惊悚。
這類電影總有一個角色啥都不相信。女主是怎麼做到被割喉並流了這麼多血還能不死而暴起反殺的？
不紧不慢的节奏让这部一个半小时的电影观感变得很长，Burn Gorman的外形适合演恐怖惊悚片的反派就像他也适合演吃瘪挨打的下属一样。
就还是那么老套路吧，所以他们好像加窗帘会死
惊悚无助的氛围烘托得还可以，结尾那绝杀解气。
氛围制造全靠不开灯或者小台灯，画面暗到看都看不清，我对有些欧美悬疑惊悚片只有一句话想说：你们真的缺电到灯都开不起吗？
无聊 虽然摄影不错 但是感觉硬是八一个短片的体量拉成了一部长篇 人物故事全部空核。
当然，这，也只是可能……
22-128. 沒報什麼期望去看反而很驚喜，女性永遠要相信自己的直覺。關鍵時刻，男人警察都靠不住，只靠得住自己。構圖非常講究，冷暖影調的運用恰到好處；缺點是人物的塑造比較單薄，女主的男友真是想抽他幾個大耳刮子。
相当熟悉的剧本，身处异国他乡的孤独女性，只顾事业工作的独断男人，还有一个四处行凶的变态杀人魔，几处氛围到位，整体流于老套。
很想知道最后那个男的看到女朋友那样子还说不说是她想多了blabla的废话！！
场景、氛围都没问题，但最后的结局有点草草了事。虎头蛇尾的电影。
为了让剧情合理，特意安排了女主去到外国生活！这女主说坚持吧，她也坚持了，说她艮吧，她也挺艮！她都能带男友去调超市监控，就不能去调电影院监控？反正一天没啥事就不能去对面楼下角落蹲两天看看能不能等到那个变态？要手机干啥，拍点照片留作证据不行吗？偏要走那种明知道是鬼片还硬要晚上独自行动的剧本，这多少是有点彪吧？3星其实是给整体，还是不错的，这个变态演的不错，挺瘆人！
可以说朱丽亚自己不做不死吗？最后结局反转再反转有些出彩，设定和去年的偷窥者有些异曲同工。
同样作为女性受害的惊悚片，这部监视者比起同期主题相似话题度爆表但又晦涩难懂的《男人》要直观好理解的多。虽然剧情相对来说比较老套，但这的确是千千万万个当下的社会新闻里这些受害者真实发生的事。可惜现实生活中没有发生奇迹的结局，至少电影里会编排出反杀的解气情节来圆满。
氛围很到位，想起来之前看过的《84年夏天》，差不多的剧情，都很简单，很有意思
两星有点委屈吧。三星有点不够。
