Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
剧情比第一部还狗血，弄了半天最后水猴子不是坏的，村长才是坏的。女主也够猛了，一把枪通吃。
艺术就是派大星！视听盛宴，的哇三句话不离焦冻萌死了，下一秒镜头切到霍很满足（大喜。少年意气风发无所畏惧，一腔热血走天下，多么纯粹美好，梦可以做美一点呀。
比上部有进步，不是赤裸裸的水怪，加入了推理、悬疑的元素，揭露的真相与人性结合起来。水猴子这种生物存在吗？没见过，代代相传，尤其是小孩要下河游泳，大人便讲这套故事。很多南方水乡出来的孩子不会游泳，水猴子的故事起了些作用。
后半段看哭了我居然。清河把骨笛交给姐姐，记忆中的姐姐说，听到这个就是姐姐叫你回家。可是，再也回不去了。
国产惊悚片中做的比较好的系列电影，之后再来补充
但故事节奏真的有点诡异很容易出戏😂
与第一部相比，肉眼可见的有钱了！剧情也考究了很多，布景服化道乃至整部影片的审美一向是项氏兄弟的强项，悬疑和恐怖的气氛渲染的非常到位。非常喜欢项氏兄弟的作品里对女性角色的刻画，坚定，机智与强大，演员的选择也十分符合人物特点，继奇门遁甲里的师姐又一个令人难忘的女性角色。缺点仍然是，剧本比较弱和结尾煽情有点尬，不过与前作比起来已经有了非常大的进步。真的非常喜欢项氏兄弟的电影风格，希望你们继续加油，会继续补齐你们的其他作品。给饰演水猴子的王滋润老师打call
54秒爆炸 我整整看了10分钟，你考验我智商嘛
看完了电影，非常精彩！惊悚，又有转折，非常刺激。
还可以！女主不错。水怪（清河）死了还挺伤感！
两星半 故事有进步，美术很不错。尽管温情路线有些牵强，但还是挺受用。
姐姐真的好勇敢，什么都不怕，故事一般，女主挺耐看的。可惜弟弟最后都死了，只有一个新弟弟。
没看过，但我就要打一星，因为作者是个傻逼。
制片国家/地区: 中国大陆
我是不是该停止看烂片了……
挺好的，故事完整，失忆女主去村子寻找失踪的弟弟，调查水猴子事情的真相，最后当然是有坏人故弄玄虚遭到报应。恐怖悬疑气氛营造得挺好，而且节奏快不拖沓，是会专心致志看的那种电影。故事情节因果关系没有明显硬伤，最后水猴子撑起石门有点迷，他又不是大力士，可能是不死说不过去吧，毕竟是鲨了人，虽然值得同情也不得不给个温情结尾后写死s了。演技也都在线不会出戏，大女主撑起来了，不尖叫不一惊一乍的，是沉稳机智干脆利落的人设。上次是看黄皮子坟觉着国产悬疑片也是有好看的，五星鼓励下
国产能拍的这么好的恐怖片我是没想到的，希望大家给个机会，去看看，真的不错
2比1好看啊。特效啥的进步了不止一星半点，女主好飒好帅气！总体还行，比较好看。
纯粹是看一下骨头社请来的各位原画师的作画了。
逻辑硬伤太多，女主颜值演技都一般，既不恐怖又不县级
