UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
很平淡的一部恐怖片，鹿角怪的设计本身挺不错的，但是结局也太潦草吧，这个怪战斗力不太行啊女主一个人就能把它手撕了……要说亮点的话，小男孩的表现确实可圈可点
小男孩演得不错；怪物设计不错，披着人脸兼职太酷了，就是跟血源白羊女有点类似，建议加入魂套餐，话说没毛怎么还弱火；感觉醉翁之意不在酒
[1]可惜这个故事“前不着村，后不着店”。
很久没有看过这么无聊的恐怖片了，当时看预告非常期待，以为是克苏鲁复兴之作，没想到呵呵
屎坑电影，光是看到我们大卫杜楚尼跟tiktok出现在同一个电影里，已经让我心淌血~
最近的片子怎么都这副德行，恐怖片也拍得这么拖沓！
导演实在不会讲故事（当然这也确实是一个很烂的故事），童年有家暴背景的女老师发现班上孩子异样，孩子爸爸被怪兽搞了被锁在家，智商为零的女校长非得去阴深诡异的别人家闯一闯，这一点点信息搞了差不多快一个小时。。。
导演是真的沉不住气，视角得混乱导致全片的悬疑感尽失，基本上警察和老师的探案线就一点效果都没有，因为每次小男孩的戏份都会前置于这些侦察戏，让观众都知道发生了什么之后，并不是结果导向，而是仍当作谜团抛给观众，并且还有许多其实可以放在更后面的桥段，比如关于父亲刚被寄生的戏份，还要刻意用一段改变画幅的段落来作为回忆，总之就是情节编排和剪辑真的不行。而同时主题又很模糊，怪物的设定其实是有些环保主义和自然主义，对于人类破坏自然的反噬，但是除了这个设定本身，全片小男孩生活和小镇的展现却完全没有跟环保主义沾边，如果你要设定成这是一个靠挖矿而生的小镇都还好说，反倒就一群正常镇民突然被一个毫不沾边的怪物给迫害了，托罗可能只提供了怪物设计吧（有点感慨的就是这片子在疫情前就在电影院看了预告，如今快两年了才终于看到）
抖音里吹的呜呜渣渣的，也就那样吧，没有新意
啥几把电影，渲染出一个超强力的食人怪物，然后在自己的老巢被女主一个普通人一顿狂干就给干死了？杀一只熊都怕是没这么容易吧？
铺垫过长好像是文艺系恐怖片通病，加上若有若无的惊点直到快结束才到高潮，其实很难感觉到惊悚气氛。
氛围做足，悬念铺够，怪物设计有继承但仍不赖(虽比不上《黑森灵》的惊艳)而剧本就实在太薄弱
变成Wendigo 的原因到底是什么?
怪物设计不错，但想讲的东西太多——环境、儿童贫困、忽视虐待…反而都没讲好，又想拍艺术电影又舍不得大众观众结果弄出个像片中Windigo一样的四不像。ps. 秋冬阴冷灰绿的俄勒冈好美，如果不是剧本过于松散我愿意加到四星
前半部分剧情太慢，后面Boss死的太快，节奏有点怪。
影片的基调和画面我还是很欣赏的，有种美国偏远山区小镇的阴冷肃杀风，但剧情就乏善可陈了
节奏缓慢，高潮垮掉，结局女人一人干翻怪物让人无语=_=
剧情都是套路，没有任何起伏意外，过分单一，就是很平庸的一部惊悚片。
怎么说，有点拖，不过怪物也没有遮遮掩掩的。我看的温迪戈传说是只有吃了人肉才会变，被抓伤不会感染。
恐怖氛围营造不错 貌似还准备出下集? 期待.
