Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
今年看的第一部不错的恐怖片，值3.5星，逻辑基本都合的上没有太脑残的情节，结尾也很爽，就别再苛求其他了。
节奏大有问题，故事走向太奇怪，看看美丽Daisy就够了
男主心是有多大，色字当头还敢让受害人口，这鸡注定不保。并且他在刚失去鸡后，还能和三个女的打了一场又一场，我真是佩服他的身体素质。
种族的设置太刻意了，男主思想逻辑前后矛盾反差太大，不太贴合片名的立意，惊悚不够尺度太小。
冲着食人魔妻子的人设，多加一颗星。整体剧情设计也太老套了。不得不吐槽的还有女主的屁股，那是割了的吗？还能坐着尿尿？男主被咬断阴茎后，内裤是血红的才对呀。
就现在 拥抱吧！
看这真不如看疫情纪录片，这也可以叫电影吗？汪勇那是一个多好的故事啊，一个平凡人如何走上英雄之路，真实的事件新闻让人感动令人肃然起敬，结果拍出来的是个啥啊？只会搞无用的亲情和爱情，靠死人来煽情。
在本城拍摄——看到了burrito餐车，那可不就是熟悉的tacofino标志，女主角去约会，走在了powell st大街上，还有sunrise入镜，转身推开餐厅大门，他们甚至连Clough Club的名字都没有换。去旅行出发的时候是在Main st附近看到了熟悉的日餐和shoppers。30分钟的时候才显示电影名字，告诉大家，前半段都市生活情景剧都是铺垫，现在才开始正戏。然后讲真，这个故事里不算惊悚甚至还处理的非常戏剧化（例如选肉切肉），妻子才是狠角色，最后夫妻俩大概又成了谁的盘中餐，这个故事是不是还要拍下一部。
真的很难看。。。莫名其妙的地方很多。。。期待越高失望越大
不知道2022年能否停止

固然电影并不十全十美、高大上，但是，作为观众，很爱看剧里女性角色的笑脸。
2.5星！贾玲不配拥有一个男友吗！？有些片段太刻意，太矫作了。
一星半。其实并没有那么无聊，我对这种恐怖或者惊悚片就算极其套路极其模式我也看的挺乐呵。可能因为这些类型的片对于我才是打发时间的🍿片的缘故。
反杀够爽，但是全程可跳看。
买错票了买成这个，刻意煽情。说的武汉话太不正宗了像四川话，略无语。看着人打瞌睡😪
喜剧成分更大些，题材重口但恐怖表现不。另外，不怕朊病毒吗？
反杀够爽，但是全程可跳看。
有点恐怖的。真的。我觉得还是值得一看的。弱势群体本来就应该站在一起，而不是为恶助力。
