Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

微博抖音一堆推送，看来都是炒作了，浪费了人生的1个多小时
蠻普通的恐怖短篇影集，雖然沒什麼新意，但有些鬼妝還是蠻嚇人。氣氛營造不太行，玩玩jump scare而已，勉強及格吧
配角里好多大熟人，连本乡dd都来打酱油了。故事有点无聊，为了世界和平不应该去参加反战组织吗？
编剧这整啥啊，故事的收尾简直太烂了，完全是为了凑画面吓人，都把我看睡了…衣柜那个还行吧。
故事太多 反倒显得每一个都没头没尾的 不怎么吓人 怪谈居多 齿虫 拉拉还魂 层间噪声 冥婚还不错 有几个故事就太一般了
坂道现在专演漫改赌片？智斗不如狂赌之渊，狂赌还有那么多美少女
看了电影解说过来看的，差点睡着，什么烂玩意
二手家具那个毫无逻辑，人形模特最渗人，总体算佳片，从现实生活中制造恐怖
几个小故事拼凑成的恐怖桥段，你说恐怖吧，没有连贯性；你说好看吧，但只能记起几个片段。无聊时候当背景音乐看吧
俄勒冈州一名小镇的老师跟她的镇上警长哥哥发现了一件惊世骇俗的案件，他们察觉一位年轻的小学生行为举止十分异常，孤僻的个性以及诡异的谈话，驱使这对兄妹介入小学生的家庭调查背后隐藏的秘密，没想到竟掀起一阵腥风血雨的风暴，而古老的传说不再是天方夜谭，恶魔的苏醒也将带来毁灭式的反扑……
很奇怪的作品，属于没有看过原著漫画的路人观众，但剧情理解没有一点障碍，明明关卡设置还是挺有意思的，节奏也很快，但不知道为什么就是觉得不怎么好看，也许选角有点问题？就是感觉一般般，大概岛国观众观感一样，日本院线上映后票房也是扑街了
老套的剧情，催眠的节奏，几个演员除了女主真是不太能看，除了画面构图，简直一无是处。
想着有原作基础的博弈电影再怎么难看也差不到哪去，最多制作廉价，节奏有问题嘛，结果…
惊悚度还挺吓人的，喜欢这种短短的恐怖故事！
所有的星打给出演的shownu，与剧情无关，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
3.5星，还行，至少没有那么多乱七八糟的人性
【变脸游戏】 七宗罪之美图秀秀
韩国人都好会保养且颜值在线啊（虽有整的嫌疑）有点血腥，恐怖还差点
不过女演员颜值太爱了
