剧情简介：
Lindsey Vickers, who scripts and directs this enigmatic film, offers a viewer just enough information to raise questions, at the same time presenting enough plums in the pudding to warrant an alert audience wishing for answers in return, but providentially style triumphs over substance. Vickers constructs an unquestionably suspenseful tale of predestination that revolves about a talented young violinist who manifestly possesses significant preternatural powers, more than sufficient to drastically affect those about her. Action opens with a three year flashback scene as we view a 12 year old girl carrying her casebound violin while walking from her school toward her home, traversing a secluded coppice, Crombie Wood, wherein she is suddenly seized (in a highly eerie scene) by a baleful force that slaughters her. Three years after, Joanne Cameron (Samantha Weysom), a 14 year old student at the same school, and also a violinist of a high order, is seen approaching a now abandoned Crombie Wood (fenced to discourage any who might otherwise trudge through it) where she speaks at the barrier to someone or something unseen just within the enclosure. Joanne's affection for her father Ian (Edward Woodward) is obsessive, and when he cannot attend her solo examination recital because of a business appointment, the child's paranormal facility is apparently utilized in the service of evil, thereby raising nocturnal havoc with Ian and Joanne's mother Dianna (Jane Merrow), as the married pair have nightmares in union that share numerous dire elements. In the morning following the tandem bad dreams, Ian drives to his business appointment in a loaned automobile, as his is being serviced, and it is soon apparent that vital auto related components from within the nightmare are being enacted during the light of day, and a powerful perception of upcoming danger is fashioned through the script. It is this premonition of dread that securely establishes the tension marking the film from its opening scene, a viewer wondering specifically how, or if, Ian will be victimized consonant with the display of frightful events that comprised a large portion of the mentioned dreams. Well-wrought and intense domestically flavoured episodes mingle congruent with scenes of suspense, according credible shape to the whole. Helping to nourish a viewer's interest are nicely conceived passages showcasing visual and aural synchronicity, based for the largest part upon the dream sequences, while a gripping atonal score by Trevor Jones and resourceful camerawork from Brian West provide intensive underpinning to a film that never retreats away from the plotline perception of Vickers. Especial note shall be made of a solo car crash occurrence that is shot and edited in a highly persuasive manner. Acting honours are to the expressive Merrow for her turn as a decisive pivot between her husband and daughter. Filmed to a large extent within scenic Snowdonia National Park of North Wales, this undervalued film had but infrequent theatrical showings before being released to video and has not since emerged in a DVD format.

译文(3): 林赛·维克斯（Lindsey Vickers）是这部神秘电影的编剧和导演，他为观众提供了足够的信息来提出问题，同时在布丁中加入了足够多的李子，以保证警惕的观众希望得到答案，但从本质上讲，风格胜过实质。维克斯构建了一个毫无疑问的悬疑命运故事，围绕着一位才华横溢的年轻小提琴手展开，她显然拥有非凡的力量，足以对周围的人产生巨大影响。《行动》以一个三年的倒叙场景开场，我们看到一个12岁的女孩背着她的箱子装的小提琴，从学校走向家，穿过一片僻静的灌木丛，Crombie Wood，在那里她突然被一股屠杀她的邪恶力量抓住（在一个非常诡异的场景中）。三年后，14岁的乔安妮·卡梅伦（萨曼莎·韦索姆饰）是同一所学校的一名学生，也是一名高级小提琴手，有人看到她走近一片现已废弃的克罗姆比森林（用栅栏围起来，以阻止任何可能艰难穿过的人），在那里她对着栅栏与围栏内看不见的人或物说话。乔安妮对父亲伊恩（爱德华·伍德沃德饰）的爱是痴迷的，当他因公务约会而无法参加她的个人考试独奏会时，孩子的超自然功能显然被用来为邪恶服务，从而在夜间对伊恩和乔安妮的母亲戴安娜（简·梅罗饰）造成严重破坏，因为这对已婚夫妇在结合中做噩梦，有很多可怕的因素。在一连串噩梦之后的第二天早上，伊恩开着一辆借来的汽车去赴约，当时他正在接受维修。很快，很明显，噩梦中的重要汽车相关部件正在白天上演，通过剧本，他对即将到来的危险产生了强烈的感知。正是这种恐惧的预感牢固地确立了电影开场时的紧张气氛，观众特别想知道伊恩将如何或是否会成为受害者，这与构成上述梦境很大一部分的可怕事件相一致。精心制作、强烈的国内风味剧集与悬疑场景交织在一起，整体造型可信。构思巧妙的段落展示了视觉和听觉的同步性，在很大程度上是基于梦境序列，有助于激发观众的兴趣，而特雷弗·琼斯扣人心弦的无调性配乐和布莱恩·韦斯特足智多谋的摄影作品为这部从不偏离维克斯情节的电影提供了有力的支撑。应特别注意以极具说服力的方式拍摄和编辑的单独车祸事件。表演荣誉授予表现力强的梅罗，因为她成为了丈夫和女儿之间的决定性支点。这部被低估的电影在很大程度上是在风景优美的北威尔士斯诺登尼亚国家公园拍摄的，在以视频形式上映之前，很少在影院上映，此后也没有出现DVD格式。
