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.
兜兜转转把一条线串起来还算有趣，但是整体就是流水账叙事，一般般
他们这一瘸一拐到达停车场怎么就和我每次hiking完同感呢
我的天啊。。。。前面一个多小时，我强迫自己断断续续看了3次才熬过去，后面自从小说家去了高什么寺那里就开始好看了，前面一大堆废话。。。。。仓田大佬一出场故事瞬间就开始有味道了。。。。前面真心太无聊了。莫非是为了凑时长？其实完全可以拍的再紧凑一点啊。。。。。
i miss chris and ade😭😭 it’s like the sopranos impersonations and not really good ones... but any david chase/the sopranos content i eat it right up like gulp gulp gulp (also uncle jr is so closeted
看的很乱, 首先拍的一般般, 拍的调调很高但是故事完全不吸引人, 第二是感觉和电视剧没接上. 看睡着了.
经查，是一个特别知名的剧集《黑道家族》来的，电影小男主是剧集已故老男主之子。没看过剧集，单说这电影，像个低配版的斯科塞斯黑帮片。
大部分时间的絮絮叨叨，真实和故事的穿插让人理不清头绪，最后真相大开的时候，还是觉得莫名其妙三千万被捐了。

都2022年了还“当然是选择原谅她”，这是碳基生物能写出来的剧本吗？难看到让人发笑。不得不说舔狗是真的牛批。
有点类似刺杀小说家，在日本电影院看的没有字幕，看了个寂寞。为了土屋太凤才看的，但她出场也太短了，就是个花瓶啊。
蓝光原盘，音画效果一流，风景如画。剧情：在山顶“一个男人在作，一女个人在救”但故事里的故事却是悲剧的背景……（美女老了！55岁了，岁月不饶人啊！）
全部带着对黑道家族的情怀看完，所以Tony全靠这个叔叔影响。
loved it
like the lady said
大概说了一个不入流的二流子作家 喜好把别人隐私枉加猜测写成书。博了眼球被告后导致穷困潦倒 去小县城做龟公时撞上些世故的故事。整体完成度不错，演员表现 除了有点日系特有的形式主义外，没啥硬伤。其他器材道具摄影布景等等相关工种，没有明显瑕疵。属于专业团队，按部就班出品。只是这叙事方法，想搞个多线叙事主线穿的黑幽默。结果玩显了。
金刚 女主，差点认不出来；如果生活有快/慢按键该多好！
烂片体验卡+1
我怕是我上辈子没烧够香，才沦落到看这种电影。
殺父的人想做good deeds?開玩笑⋯
算是懸疑片，但最後主角怎會串得起來？太轉折了吧
