尊是糟蹋了江户川乱步的原作！通篇不过是日本猎奇+旅游观光节目+2B文艺青年英雄主义大爆发的影像大杂烩和故弄玄虚的悬疑线索！！还威尼斯金狮提名！我去！黄毛子完全不懂那种妖致同时散发着性和死亡气息的日本病态美！！很可惜1977版的没找到，想必比这部更能还原乱步原著的气质
没看过原著，法约尔窃以为自己很懂平田一郎，就像 巴贝特·施罗德窃以为自己懂江户川乱步一样。和开篇戏中戏一样邪不胜正，又是法国人对日本文化的猎奇心理作祟。形式大于内容，使得悬疑推理破绽百出，虎头蛇尾。导演对女主角的刻画过于沉醉，所以结尾是很容易猜的。
对江户川乱步的小说进行了比较大的改动，剧中剧拍的不错，石桥凌英语还可以，改的不好，原作阴郁的病态和诡计的揭示都没能表现出来
典型充满日本人阴郁风格的烂片
刚看到女主角就猜到了结局……哎……
话说真的是从一开始就知道结果的片子。。。。总有一种词不达意的赶脚
有点拖沓。中断就很明显了。好吧苦逼少年多精虫上脑。。。身兼SM两范儿啊！
故弄玄虚 那女的暴露的多明显~悬疑的这么不给力
成功的艺妓，成功的隐形侦探小说家，谁说一心不能两用？一个成功男人的败落一个“性”字足矣，性让人变的善良甚至愚蠢。
我喜欢京都风情，但是看到一小时的时候，我想到了真相~~~~~~~~~一看还真是
这怎么能算好片？地狱守护者 吸血女僵尸 一夜情电台的故事
note：好好看喔真是太有趣了太邪門了，這種法製日恐的小說內小說感、後設來倒過去的誰是小說家，都有一種很有趣的艷麗恐怖。裡頭對亂步的外國感改編讓日本表像比鬼更鬼了，例如殺貓天狗ＳＭ的動物圖徵。真有趣，看不出是《殺手的童貞》的導演。
细节毫无逻辑，完全把观众当傻瓜
预告片剪辑得比较精彩，看影片后感觉SOSO。基本看个开头就猜到主谋是谁了，冲着Benoît Magimel英俊的脸，就凑合看完了吧。
什么垃圾玩意，弄得很神秘似的，其实几分钟就猜到是怎么回事了
