《代号尼克·比尔》是1949年恐怖片里的一朵奇葩。影片围绕两具男尸寻找化妆师重塑身份的奇遇展开，在血腥的肉体恐怖外壳下，暗藏着对美国好莱坞的辛辣讽刺。导演法罗采用了非线性的叙事手法，将调查过程与主角残酷的肉体记忆剪辑在一起，风格阴郁压抑，视听语言极具前瞻性。整部戏利用闪回手法，将紧张的心理惊悚与残酷的现实画面无缝切换，营造出极强的压抑感和悬疑氛围，让人在解谜的过程中不寒而栗。喜欢逻辑推理、偏好在细微处寻找惊悚的观众千万别错过，这是一部完美符合“细思极恐”定义的经典佳作。全片无一句台词，仅靠震耳欲聋的风声、骤雨、电闪和沉重的呼吸音来推进叙事，营造出令人窒息的心理恐惧。

Righteous district attorney Joseph Foster's main goal in life is to rid his city of the gangsters infesting it. In order to be even more efficient in his war against crime he plans to run for governor. One day he meets a strange, shadowy man, Nick Beal, who offers to help him to achieve his end. Beal convinces hesitating Foster by dint of easy money, easy sex with an alluring young woman and the promise of easy success. Joseph Foster soon becomes an influential politician but a corrupt one. A minister of God manages to show him that he has been the plaything of the so-called Nick Beal, who might be Old Nick , that is to say Satan himself. Foster then decides to resign and to become an honest man again.
