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.
我只想说海报抄袭游戏Alan Awke……
换以前可能不觉得，现在自己有症状能感同身受了
小成本惊喜之作，虽然有些地方很廉价，但至少有这个类型的年轻导演不把观众当傻子了。
你在饭桌上问我幸福吗，我笑着摇了摇头。好像在这座北部的小城，只有不停地奔跑，才是活着的全部价值。清冷疏离的函馆，还藏着多少孤独的灵魂，亦或者受伤的心，才会让它拥有属于这座城市的表情。他们散落在各处，像没有明天那样的活着，劲吹不止的寒风也没能阻挡他纵身跃下深海的决意，腾空绽开的花火也没停下他跑入暗夜的脚步。
这些人都好自来熟哈哈哈。
2021.11.10 挺不错的小成本科幻啊，虽然故事走向和彗星来的那一夜很像，但是也还是蛮精彩的。最后女主选择留在了孩子没有离开的世界，但开局明明女主躺在了急救车上，这怕不是一个幻想或者一个梦境吧...
这种题材应该支持。我不想都是些爱情片儿童片主旋律片和喜剧片
平行理论的现实意义，在于悦纳自己和放过「自己」，想想都觉得好浪漫～
小成本，故事编的还差点意思，中间悬念丢失的比较多，没法坚持看到最后。
女主最后的笑容和里面哥哥说的一些小故事太恐怖了 幸好有人陪我看 自己看我要尿了🙃
大本的fun uncle居然演出难得魅力熟男dilf感，乔治克鲁尼执导的这部基本就是怀旧滤镜美国白男版《好爸爸坏爸爸》卡司都是熟人，马天尼演渣爹，《回到未来》博士演外公，主角泰谢里丹无功无过，童年版很灵气。

她们说，这是个回忆录畅销的年代，所以你写了；他们说，想不出有什么可拍的原创剧本那就再来一部如父如子的白男传记吧，于是你拍了。尽管制造了浓厚的怀旧情怀和文学氛围，少年成长、心理弑父的老套故事没有讲出任何新意，Junior的人生就像千万遍重述过的既有模板一样，毫无独特性，不触及任何对当下言说的意义，让人迷惑立项初衷。男性楷模的人生导师，两个时空交错的自我对话，在此「酒吧」的核心意象和作家事业的关键纽带也未能立住。比较好奇Ben Affleck和George Clooney主演和导演的位置互换来演绎会如何。Lily Rabe还是很美。
本来我准备给个三星，可是冲着小演员一口流利的脏话加自然的演技再加大本帅气地开车，我给四星
虽然人物过渡有些生硬，人格转换不太自然，但是已经很不错了，要是结尾再改一下可能会再升华
结尾再来个彩蛋
拍得过于平淡 几乎没有任何高潮与该有的激情 想来这题材理应很抓马 结果全篇充斥着别扭感
还可以吧，又是关于一个平行世界题材的电影，挺好的。
你会怎么选？
