八月来风

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

　　20世纪50、60年代，亨利·韦斯特博士（威廉·麦鲍瑟 William Mapother 饰）创建了灵学实验室阿提克斯研究所，针对超能力、透视、读心术、隔空取物等边缘学科展开研究。虽然遭遇了无数的挫折与嘲笑，但是韦斯特博士仍坚持不懈朝着目标前进。1975年，他的实验室因某起骗局而被迫关闭，就在此时一个略显神经质的女人朱迪思·温斯黛德（莱亚·吉斯特德 Rya Kihlstedt 饰）被送到实验室。她之前因伤而拥有了超能力，而其看似货真价实的超能力迅速令见多识广的科学家们大为折服。在这一过程中，朱迪思的能力不断加强，甚至已经到了失控的程度。　　这已远远超出了超能力的范畴，谜团背后恶魔的身影时隐时现……

　　在天眼尚未密布，监场保安仍会打瞌睡的二十世纪七十年代，名画大盗就是会光天化日，大剌剌走进美术馆，直接把猎物从墙上取下放入布袋运走。看似儿戏的一切，背后主谋还要是住在市郊、人畜无害的住家男人。凯莉·莱卡特完全弃用好莱坞盗宝片叙事公式，改以其擅长的左翼简约主义镜头，捕捉触犯艺术罪行者的日常生活、双面人的言行处境，以及事件周遭人情冷暖。阿瑟多夫的抽象画作未必是一个借口，但到头来凸显存在荒谬的公路逃亡，俨然为观众添加了不少欣赏和思考的层次。

　　一个女人，她的一个好朋友住进了哈文赫特公寓就再也没有消息，然后杰奎琳住进这栋公寓进行调查，却发现了这栋公寓的不为人知的历史.....

　　一位科学家在一次试验中，发现用脑波可以使一只铅笔穿透铜板，不过，他的实验室在一次大火中毁灭，这位科学家不得不投靠他的哥哥。他的哥哥也在进行着另一项实验，他发现重新组合原子结构可以产生巨大能量。他与弟弟合作，利用弟弟的脑波和实验心得，改变任何物质结构，形成“四度空间人”。　　不过，“四度空间人”使用一次均会失去时间而老化，必须不断增加能源，而每次吸取能量，就会将老化转移他人，于是他不断杀人以维持青春。究竟四度空间人会不会最终被消灭，请观众自己品味。　　本片构思新颖，运用高科技手段拍摄，是观众有身临高科技时代的感觉，当然，这指的是身在影片所属的年代！
