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.
这世界上有这么多人借着上帝之名，做些不知所谓的事情。
童年的一次表演变成歇斯底里的信仰，她人格分裂，自欺欺人，但完全自恰。可只要我们笃信着一些价值，都能在她这里看见自己。
拉窗帘啊，大晚上在家开灯不拉窗帘是想干嘛？
6分，还是传统传记片的铺陈叙事，眼睛这个概念完全没用上只是作为一个片名了。劳模姐演的非常好了，在模仿的同时加入自己的情感理解在诠释这个角色，加菲这个角色还是在利用他的信徒脸。
灵恩派、新福音派，对圣经的全面误读，导致虚假福音遍地开花。片中母亲的那句“盲目追随到头来只剩盲目”是对这种虚假信仰的最好注解！
女导演的一贯特点：注重氛围营造和人物关系描绘，剧情过于简单直白，好看但是没有回味。
拍出了女性的恐惧不安，植入到心底的恐惧。走夜路，回头再回头，张望又张望。谁在那里？想要做什么？这里有一个强壮的男人丈夫保护你，保护你什么？免受其他男人的骚扰？电影、超市跟踪尾行，不敢回头不敢直视，仿佛只要自己足够小心，就能避开危险。
藏在浓妆后的劳模依然光彩照人，不过题材不太有共鸣。
当你们都在嘲笑我的妆容的时候，我只想的是让上帝祝福你们。
没想到是女性导演，拍摄相当不俗，最后的高潮即结束，非常之爽
做到了三分电影里各方面的极致，女主美到可以做Amber高替，赶紧去演海后一炮而红
又一部奥斯卡流水账人物传记片，每一场戏都直白浅薄的要死，然后中间插播还原几个名场面，别的部分一带而过。和人讲一讲就上电视了，吃个饭就开自己电视台了，儿戏到要死。洗白负面人物也算这种流水账传记片的传统艺能了，冠冕堂皇地说要为别人正名，然后把主角夫妇骗钱的负面部份有多省略就多省略，还把女主塑造成一个无辜地不得了的形象。但不管她有多无辜，她也是帮凶啊，自己天天过奢侈的生活嗑药然后还一点都不怀疑丈夫? 本可以深挖资本主义蚕食利用信仰来赚钱的故事，偏要用来洗白主角来提供一些对电影毫无帮助的oscar clip。这种电影毫无存在的意义
人性复杂才有劲儿（想知道那个纳什维尔制作人到底有多大，拍出来的话我给5星
总是跳戏蜘蛛侠，怎么破? 这个化妆厉害了 YF
妆效和口音都太惊人了，不管题材和制作是否是按照冲奥标准去的，凭借jess非常厉害的表演都真心认为她值得拿下小金人。
一个传福音的电视台能做到全美第四，对不起，还是怎么听怎么像邪教。
按说好莱坞的化妆都登峰造极了，怎么我看着劳模姐和加菲的腮帮子像《瘦身男女》里的刘郑二人呢？这种《华尔街之狼》似的打鸡血演法吧，劳模姐还hold得住，加菲越演越像金凯瑞……结尾可以解读一下，信仰+爱国主义，效果倍增啊。导演还是充满善意的，起码没太颠覆宗教里的这些人这些事。
挺好的，能演绎真实存在的故事，总比胡打乱闹胡编乱造强的多
It is interesting to learn this piece of history. 话说这个化妆真的是厉害，怪不得是拿奖的程度。
看了半天，我也以为是女主有点太敏感了。可能是巧合，可能是互相都在感觉是对方在跟踪偷窥自己。没想到，最后来个反转。吓了我一跳。
