A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
几场枪戏完全没有看点，还一定要用慢镜头加配乐给你放，导演是不是太自恋。
放弃解释，也因此放弃了叙述；放弃了配乐也放弃了任何试图引发观众情感共鸣的可能；放弃了面孔，所有角色都在中景内克制地神秘着…放弃了一切的电影，却把悬疑保持到了最后一刻。弗氏Manipulation一如既往奏效，但他想表达的“虚无”，在他用尽了一切减法形式后显得是如此刻意而矫揉造作。
大女主剧，女主当然帅，但两个老猛男更帅，噼里啪啦一通打还是蛮精彩的，不过最后的反转似乎有点多余。
前面那个什么评论啊？什么叫中国人不配看电影啊？你踏马谁啊？这电影就是有头没尾啊，手法高级但没用好啊，就是有人不喜欢啊，星际穿越都有人打1星你在这里激动个鬼啊？让我愤怒的电影多了去了，我本来觉得这值个2星，那你既然要这么说那就1星呗。啥也不是。
并不是拍得出和生活一样无聊的影像就叫电影了
不理解为啥大家在如此生死攸关的时刻却都要B哧个没完。 让个一会就死的人理解你的人生意义爱恨情仇，再看看你最酷造型儿就这么重要吗？看得我着急死了。
妳给他看的 他摸妳的时候 本可以避开
这打了草稿没打磨就开拍了。我其实觉得故事能写的更精彩一些，基于以下几个原因：
明明是男主思想龌龊，自己意淫，以为女主想勾引自己，也不看看自己的年龄长相！自己犯的错，间接害死了老婆孩子，还怪到别人头上！女主太弱了，同归于尽也好过自己白白送死！
对于我这样的一个非专业观影人士，我能给予的评价就是还不错，不大一样的叙事方式。墨西哥海边美景赏心悦目，男主看似扑克脸的表演挺让我觉得扑朔迷离的。
感觉剧本和其他制作部分是剥离的，使得电影作为filter套上任何其他的故事也能成
在他用尽一切形式后显得是如此刻意而矫揉造作
1、太平铺直叙了，开头把圣经还给Luis的时候直接告诉你主题，记忆和现实穿插，结构平庸，没有推理案子的快感
啊？就这样结束了？ 你可以不在案情的真伪和是否有真凶。那你倒是把两个关键人物受到的折磨体现出来啊！带着悬疑的外壳和叙事手法，最后却是也没把内核交代清楚。 很畸形的片子，耐飞估计是看成本不高，老子反正财大气粗，小成本赌一把。
曾经熬夜通宵第二天也有饱满的精力应付日常，现在赶紧睡吧不然明天就惨了。时间就是这样无法克服的障碍，无法控制出现的顺序，也无法阻止注定到来的天明，纠结啊！
和前作那种空洞皮囊堆砌而成的所谓“政治寓言”几乎完全反着来，高明剧作技巧下的个人叙事，始终和人物保持若即若离的间距，当所有谜题被揭开，又对那个始终游离在动荡与冷漠之外的孤独生命抱有无限的善意。
前半部分有点青春活力版《你的鸟儿会唱歌》，后面就……
这个不是男作家自己有二心吗？怎么会怪罪到女助理身上，不理解。
总体来说看的还算有共鸣，尤其蛮喜欢北村在风俗店的独白，插曲有蘑菇帝国的東京还有两人讨论rad 我已经满足了，真的有点花恋的感觉呢……
# 78 Venezia # 最爱的导演从不会令人失望！ 依然是各种突如其来的反转，依然是不可有任何剧透的佳作，依然是看到结尾才会恍然大悟惊叹整个剧本的闭环，心甘情愿一直被弗兰科M，只可惜观影时赶上体力和精神最差的状态，需要二刷和三刷
