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.
1. 在Boston Commons AMC看的，应该是我来过的第一个美国电影院。那是2012年的感恩节，看的是007: Sky Fall， 今天特地来这里看个电影。2. 陷落的城市，对过去失去世界的沉湎和挖掘，整个世界潮湿腐朽也令人窒息。水这个意象一边破坏一边模糊一边掩埋。整个电影环境的设定很有当下的时代风貌。3. 在这么一个可能性不可限量的设定里，剧本和人物居然被写成这样单薄无脑也是很令人扼腕叹息了。
and things we missed about them.
我觉得很好看诶……很久没看过那么纯爱的电影了……
乐趣就在于找脸熟
很令人失望的呈现，悬疑不够爱情来凑，那狼叔和弗格森也不来电啊！丽莎乔伊想撒狗血那为什么她的镜头语言不能再唯美一点？最后强行诺兰家族梦境哲学拷问，现实那么残破&&是不是愿意在美梦中不再醒来……（乔伊这个导演长片处女作证明了制片人和自编自导距离还是很大的）
故事构思和开篇的浪漫设计都挺吸引人，可惜后面的拖沓节奏和不忍直视的动作设计直接将影片沦为了平庸之作。。。
这故事套路，设定奇怪，世界观倒是让人有点好奇，但没讲多少。所以，看不看随你，“朋友”。
感觉没有评论说得那么糟啊。该有的东西都点到了，然而点的手艺有点笨拙，几乎全部都是靠念白。但有一个镜头我还是觉得有那么点意思：休叔从那个有钱的疯女人的豪宅出来时，花园里两列对称的喷泉，还有灌溉花园的喷淋系统的特写，像枪一样“哒哒哒”的喷水。穷人不得不生活在水深火热中(真.水深)，而富人筑堤把海浪推向穷人，“水”在他们的世界里，只是庄园的喷泉。可惜电影中这样的镜头语言太少。
是迷局还是迷情…穿针引线，发现绣的是个俗不可耐的故事…开篇是令人惊艳的水上末世迈阿密的设定…
对我这样的反乌托邦爱好者，只能送上5星，外加我的膝盖！
四平八稳 可以选的话 回望过去还是看向未来 几个想法：1. 记得研究表明 每次想起某段记忆 并不是原版 而是上一次回想的版本 2. 人的记忆做不到录像带的捕捉度 3. 如果可以把原版前前后后各个角度翻来覆去地像看录像一样一遍又一遍的回顾 我想到了信条里的那句话：发生的事情已经发生过了 what happened happened
阿祖的英文混中文实在太逗了，话说这已经不是查看别人的记忆了，这直接是调监控了吧，极度无聊的剧本，把狼叔都能整成一个猥琐油腻大叔，最后的结局还行，要不是自己宣传是科幻片还能给它加一星
刚玩过《恶灵附身》，感觉杰克曼大叔真像游戏里的男主角。但是这电影就很一般了。
题材不错，为啥拍出来感觉就不好看呢？或许如豆油所说，我想看动作片，最后却成了爱情片？
地产商与私生子 水世界与回忆机器 给力助手与贪污警察 吴彦祖帅的
这导演这几年是没看片还是咋了？这也太老派！太土了！
如果俄耳甫斯最后没有回头和欧律狄克过上了幸福的生活，那这不仅不是一个幸福结局更是一个邪恶的故事。
谜一样的女人，沉溺与回忆里，终老，后期就看不下去了
休傑曼白夜春宵問情何物，吳彥祖黑幫帶佬醬油止步，過去心現在未來怎堪有悔，造作眼見幻知妄豈能不悟？
1这片子竟然不满星？？ 涓滴效应 + 房地产商欺压百姓被团灭+无政府主义, 打倒无良房地产hh. 2能反复重温和逝去爱人的回忆, 有什么比这更残酷又美好. 3.这卡司简直是西部世界团建? 4彦祖中英混杂的一句王八蛋给我听笑了 关于后两点,看一眼导演就懂了, 丽萨有点东西. 评论区有人拿导演性别说事, 真的恶臭.
