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.
3.5星。故事一般节奏不错后半程太精彩的，女主嗑药威力太强悍了，最后反杀给力。
意料之外精彩，几乎没尿点，几处黑色幽默也挺有意思。
暴风雨山庄模式的经典套路，看多了，只能给6分
少有的主角智商战斗力均在线 女主演技不错 小成本暴风雪山庄狼人杀暗喻老兵ptsd关怀呼吁/戒毒宣传
其实还可以但知道被绑架的小孩那么讨厌之后觉得太不值了👋
真是没什么东西拍了，只好找个亚裔女来炒冷饭
着实一般，前半段还算普普通通，闹剧式电影，高低搭配的反差主角两个，缝合了点成龙元素，勉勉强强合格的类型片。但是后半段，透着一股预算用光的贫穷，没法补拍随便剪辑的过场，加的对白只能借位用画外音……
挺简单的情节，拍的能让人看下去，还可以，除了最后面的警察和女主的故意失败外其他挺好。
一部不用靠猜猜凶手是谁，用细节剧情来推动故事发展的好电影。饰演达比的亚裔小姐姐演的太棒了。要知道亚裔在欧美电影里当主角，真的是太难了！希望以后能多点这样不是你追我逃，我追你死的低成本佳作
小场景低成本惊悚片，前面部分两次意外反转确实勾人心魄，直至到俩坏人完全暴露，后面功力直线下降，到警察出现的时候完全成了老式恐怖片套路。。。总之爆米花电影还算可以。。。
反派不补刀与主角同罪，期待了半天的逆转期待了个寂寞
最近看过的少有的不感到无聊的惊悚片，亚裔混血女主演得很棒，很有特色的一张脸，记住她了。
Kevin像在演电影版脱口秀，郭达不接这部戏是非常正确的，山P帅不过三秒。
反转不断，后半段剧情起来终于有点看头。女主演技不错~
还阔以，电影本身的节奏没有解说视频的好2333，但也是合格的爆米花电影了
暴雪封路，困境逃亡，谁是凶手，这种题材就算拍了千百遍，也仍会肾上腺素飙升…钉枪打入手腕的那一刻，光是不自觉想象的痛就让手心出汗了…
3.5。制作有点糙。看到《扑克之夜》《零度以下》甚至《猎凶风河谷》的影子。
杀手不好当，杀手的搭档也难做。看这电影有点浪费时间，不过毕竟看了部电影，所以也不算纯浪费。如此而已。
有些地方的行动动机确实值得商榷，但整体比较流畅，女主演演技还可。
被钉在墙上，血顺着手腕留下来，好带感。警察送人头定律。他们玩的Bullshit扑克我跟室友也玩过，说谎就要面不改色心不跳。
