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.
为什么非要谈感情，他老婆和孩子才刚离开几天，垃圾
I'm confused. Why do I have to put up with the romantic drama in order to understand the brilliant operation?
把可飞行的高清摄像头当蚊子给拍了。笑点：她用镊子修眉毛结果扯出了一根线，高级跑车全速前进结果玻璃没撞开被一只狗给报废了，看起来最瘦弱的詹妮弗被控制了，结果一家人都阻止不了她的步伐。这个给自己套上被冻住的衣服，是用土办法对抗高科技吗？打败了机器人被告知新病毒来了玩个梗，最后，好好做个人吧。
我觉得挺有意思，大美女再牺牲一点就有意思了
说是人工智能，可看起来智商都不太高的样子，恶搞又讽刺～三星半
西特工男女通杀
导演对于科幻和现代社会的理解仍然停留在上世纪七八十年代，无法代入也就get不到笑点。
本来当一个科幻片看的。居然是一个讽刺现实的片子。结合上海目前的状况，本来看似好笑的场景，就在身边不停的发生，就让人细思恐极了。
3.5 为什么一定要安排点感情戏啊？没有感情戏就拍不下去吗？剧中的感情戏略生硬不说还影响整体的观感 无语
感情戏份着实冗余而无效。咱就是说以后拍这种类型的电影能不能搞个“用100分钟讲一个故事谁最好谁上”这种限时命题拍片比赛啊（认真开玩笑）……
这么有故事的故事，拍成这么没情节的情节，真是个遗憾。
你爱我，我爱他，他爱我。who cares？不弄点小三出轨戏，就不会拍电影讲故事了吗？
第一次看科幻式喜剧，虽然不会是爆笑的那种，但很有法国幽默风格，色彩饱和度高
二战英国人搞了一个欺骗德国人的行动。迷惑、伪装、避实就虚、声东击西……
根据真实历史事件改编的电影，整体上的叙述很平，没有太过于惊心动魄的表现，甚至还加入了很多俏皮的元素在里面，剧情的推动和人物的发展都以欺骗行动来展开，本来特工间谍都是反人性的活动，都围绕着情报来进行活动，真真假假，假假真真。电影中围绕真尸体，假人物来进行合理的推演是一个亮点，剧中的台词也很优美，但爱情元素的处理又过于简单和平铺，影响了影片的节奏，其实本片还可以处理得再传奇一点，曲折一点，但影片就是处理改编得如白开水一样寡淡，经不住太多的回想。
法国人真的很喜欢拍这种很有意思又没意思的电影。
没有评论说的不堪！细节发挥到了极致，就像在看小说
再现二战中那个紧张而又关键的时刻。在斗智斗勇中加入了情感戏，不违和，是另一场“绞肉行动”
“历史由胜利者书写，但事实真相只有亲历者才晓得”
不知道为什么评分这么低
