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.
就，看到最后二三十分钟前其实都还不错，结尾拍的太空了（？就让整部电影显得有点弱智起来……
ᐈSERE计划，也就是生存、躲避、抵抗与逃离，他们一直处于应激状态，感官被剥夺，被关在封闭空间里，被迫听高分贝的轰击声，忍受饥饿和睡眠剥夺，还有性羞辱
《出租车司机》导演+《醉乡民谣》男主角+《头号玩家》男主角 打的一手迷幻牌，喜欢导演这严谨的视觉格调。
6.9分左右。
三星半。有种有意为之的松散，似乎映照的是角色的心理感受
质感出挑，单场戏很棒，整体却力有未逮，端着而无法下沉。倒是奥斯卡·伊萨克，头发一梳，从头有型到尾。
这片子看的我是真的无聊。很久没看这么无聊的片子了。
以为是赌片，结果看完才发现是公路片，公路感十足但是没有把最核心的“救赎”给讲好
走性冷淡风的导演不该找伊萨克的，他紧实的屁股和壮硕的大腿让整个画面都非常不性冷淡
daddy还是那个daddy，一把掀翻小屁孩的时候我只能 wow~ 其实配乐都很好听，就是用力过度了一点，太想营造纸醉金迷的糜烂气氛了，以至于整部电影都像一篇“散”文诗。
这片子看的我是真的无聊。很久没看这么无聊的片子了。
AMC 谜之故事，谜之摄影，谜之配乐，最谜的还是感情戏和女主的服装，怀疑造型师把所有精力都放在了Isaac身上了。
就算保罗·施拉德一遍又一遍地在重复自己以往的创作那又如何呢？我反正很吃这一套。电影的质感令人着迷，奥斯卡·伊萨克对角色的掌握沉稳且精准，我非常喜欢。
如果想看赌片的，就失望了，这是一个创伤后遗症的故事，只是刚好男主懂得算牌而已。导演名气很大，但也很久没有佳作了，其镜头，配乐，气氛还是那部taxi driver，几十年过去了，江郎不但才尽，还退步了，剩下的只有老观众印象中模糊的感觉。
奥斯卡太辣太帅了，剧情比较平淡，但是结局还不错
看的时候觉得这个片儿和《第一归正会》有点像，原来一个导演。
牌场较量很有趣又出彩。
这片子看的我是真的无聊。很久没看这么无聊的片子了。
#22#06PTSD 复仇计，到底在拍点啥玩意
理解把Oscar拍得帅得没边了，但拿拍太空戏的劲儿拍小赌场牌桌和廉价霓虹灯花园是不是太过了，“他不仅又帅又神秘还很有深度，真的很深哦（配乐起）”，最后一幕做作到想掀桌。
