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.
上来搞得我还真的很懵，后来才知道原来是姐弟恋的主题
好电影，但是get不到这个感情线。姐弟恋的教科书级别作品了吧哈哈
PTA最轻盈的作品，依旧充斥着奇怪和迷人的味道
尽管久违的男女主角都不在我的审美上
男女主不好看，女主偶尔还能get到偶尔就丑得不想看。只是评价一下，没有那种恶意。
“我们可以选择爱，相信爱的魔法。”
对于小学生来说有点幼稚，但对于工作好几年的我来说刚刚好！！！！
陆马、飞马、独角兽三个阵营都用流言攻击别的阵营，篡改历史，煽动仇恨。看懂小马宝莉，就看懂世界政治格局
热狗店黄昏温暖的痴笑。远处看着哥哥窘迫拿着话筒。光晕切割的时候提出了割礼的问题。鼓点像是进入丛林，青少年集会如同丛林。男女主无声拥抱镜像。男主像是穿过战场烟雾向女主奔去，老兵喋喋不休韩战。弹球房与竞选男女主价值观冲突。你知道她在哪里工作然后对视无言。对70年代的祛魅，有意避免了深刻。
为什么这么多人爱装逼还爱看别人装逼？就喜欢这种纯粹的片子，当PTA不装逼时我反而能搞清他的套路了，他的特点就是所有情节的转变都是不合时宜且突兀的，就像他老家的A片一样，不过换个思路就是你根本不需要纠结剧情为什么这么转变，跟着他思路走就行了。这个问题在他别的片子里就显得装逼又做作，因为他总给人一种我要讲牛逼东西的感觉(不知道为什么那么多人喜欢)，而在这个片子里反倒让我没那么反感(又不知道为什么这么多人看不上)，甚至让我很喜欢。人呐，回归本我才是对自己最大的尊重，拍自己故事的人才是最伟大的，就像索伦蒂诺的《上帝之手》，我不懂什么叫“眼界缩小”，看不起自己？
迷幻but its not fuckin a chick flick
一开始就是眉来眼去打情骂俏的校园爱情，第一眼就感觉和这电影的创作者不是同一频率的。接着看看男主角是个中二病+自来熟，女主角也总是一脸臭屁的表情，真正没法入眼。
镜头很流畅，我却没能一口气看完。现实中，30岁的我差点和15岁的高中生做朋友。
#加州行观影系列#2.9在Berkeley Landmark Cinema看的（电影院沙发竟然可以躺平，就是老友记里Joey和Chandler家里那种沙发…）。电影讲的是LA，虽然在LA的两天没看成，但在加州看加州也是有些风味了。一个很轻松的青春暧昧小品，还是蛮对我胃口的。
非常像三十年前拍那个时候的二十年前，而不是当下拍五十年前。承认剧本和导演掌控手法高超，却无法得到新鲜的感受。
十五岁的少年和25岁的女人之间会有真挚的感情，但是25岁的女人和37岁的男人之间是不会有的。
可爱讨巧的地方不能掩盖情节衔接的莫名其妙，still don't quiet get PTA.
那一年，你十五，我二十七；尽管遇见得不是时候，然而我们可以彼此暗恋，互相吃醋，让整个七零年代都充盈着香草的甜蜜芬芳。
轻巧而不患寡，小心而不刻意。PTA玩起来也依然令人喜欢，夹杂着浓稠私人情绪的可爱奇怪使观赏的人也翔如坠落水床，有些湿也还想跑。
片中每个角色的面孔也太“真实”了吧，都可以看到每个痘痘和褶皱。不过我喜欢男主和女主互相奔向对方和手牵手一起奔跑的样子。
