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.
除了结婚和生孩子，电影里的每件事都好像做过了。大概我的生活就好像其他影评阐述的一样：好像说了什么又好像什么都没说。其实还挺对胃口的，看完想去函馆养老了。（私自更青睐滑板那段部分情节）
温馨小品。我可以接受大本老了。但不能接受他秃了。
前奏过长
上个月上映因为排片太少加上豆瓣评分不高就没看，后来听说这片被好莱坞拿去翻拍，于是今晚补完了。看到很多悬疑科幻恐怖片的影子，《恐怖游轮》《时空罪恶》《生死停留》《彗星来的那一夜》《蝴蝶效应》《闪灵》，既是借鉴又是致敬，全片只有三个演员的小成本制作（女主演的不错，一搜资料竟是昆明老乡），黑龙江森林的取景地很漂亮，中国片拍出了欧美质感（原版能拍出翻拍的感觉也是诡异），大概导演太爱美国这种类型片了吧。另外，不要歧视本科生，不是只有博士才能听懂啥叫平行空间好吧。
4.有个落魄的老爸，还离得很远。
6.2 怎么能窜了这帮演员把好故事编排的那么无聊？
“健康就是能对普通小事感到幸福。”看了后觉得跑步真好，运镜也好。
一级棒！

erin推荐。挺喜欢的。记着了lower-upper-middle class，看完了想读小说。这种家庭/成长/作家自传题材本来就是对大部分人都有共鸣的。70年代配乐好评，虽然有些场景拍得像mv。没想到是乔治克鲁尼执导的，对他的之前印象还是迎娶白富美女律师。
3.5吧 拍出来没那么科幻也没那么悬疑 有些情节设置的很怪
软科幻挺好的，但是拍的就是没有让人想看下去的欲望，可能和演员有关？
比起恐怖游轮，更像彗星来的那一夜，模仿痕迹重，题材不是很有新意，结局有点乏力，但是中国低成本科幻片，还是多奖励一星
平淡的像水一样的故事，好舅舅的存在一般意味着有坏父亲
给雷神点赞！
最后的结局和燕子准备杀掉“自己”代替她的哪里有点泪目。
welcome to the adult
要如何消化人在集体社会环境中受到的伤害?守护住一颗天真纯粹的心?能否找到一些让人感到生命活着的事情去做?脚踩在草地上，散步、奔跑、滑行、放烟火，与城市的呼吸共振。摄影师远景镜头下的函馆多么美丽，看那澄澈的天光，空旷的广场和堤坝，低矮的山，蔚蓝的大海。
最后炸裂，响起的呼吸机停止声，女的死了，在另一个平行世界里，大家都活的好好的，一层又一层，只是不知道还是不是最初的世界。
想起我懦弱的前男友 喜欢人物镜头色调 大于故事本身
