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.
好好听尤其最后一首太美了，这也就是让hudson去演还很像。传记型电影一般没啥新意可以演出韵味就赢了
非常好看，很喜欢谭耀文和吴卓曦，里面其它人的演技也特别好，都是港剧老演员，就是有味道，想看出狱后他们的故事
没看过一二 这部看到一半才知道走的是喜剧哈哈 可以看一下咯
导演编剧都是TVB出身，成品也非常电视电影，制作上也非常简陋，后面有一段反转根本没有交代清楚，方中信同陈家乐两个男主角色上甚至前后性格都快对调了，唯一的看点是各位演员们的表演，当然，陈家乐还是不行。就这种根本没有触及什么实质东西的剧本居然还会被埋这么多年也是服了。
前面两部还没看过不知道怎么样，这一部反正不是很好看，飞速看完
aretha本人五星，这电影只有两星。。。肥花真不容易，又唱又演的，想拉踩对嘴影帝cos皇后的波西米亚了。阿瑞莎太厉害很难模仿，差太多了。片子里面又是黑人运动又是男权又是free woman 的太多了，没有表现出legend 的感觉，剧本太差了，人物魅力表现不出来
剧本太糟糕了，流水账一样毫无重点，能把af奶奶这么传奇的人生拍得这么难看也是意想不到。
虽然逃狱没成功，逃狱的戏份也不多，但明显节奏比前两部更好了，情节上也更合理
拒绝给川普就职典礼演唱的民权灵魂歌后，为什么会离了两次婚？
动作动作不上趟，剧情剧情也不行，美女杀手的特点也没看痛快。就这样吧
音乐直烧灵魂。录音，演唱会场景令人击掌叫绝
很讨厌这种流水传记片。剧情主线其实很清晰，从摆脱父亲的控制到摆脱丈夫的控制，到太过自我而失控，然而每一阶段的剧情却都没有说好。儿童时期浪费20分钟，和父亲的争吵到最后和解场景写的很差。和家暴丈夫互相撕扯的戏份根本没表现好，然后就莫名奇妙和第三个男人自己发疯，再一转看到自己母亲就回头是岸了。几个阶段本身和衔接都做的很差，编剧真的很差很差。
香港的监狱有闭路电视啦？那么想搞事更难了。想起几年前的躲猫猫等事件。内地的监狱是不是也到处是摄像头了？
居然还有彩蛋，彩蛋告诉我们还有番外，有点意思
男人和女人、家长和孩子、家庭和社会……在女神的坎坷和音乐的回响中，你能设想自己的Amazing Grace么？我觉得本片和《云图》以及格非的《江南三部曲》，都抓住了这个设问的关键线索——支配关系 or 伙伴关系。
这部真的和这些年的那么多部音乐人传记片有任何区别么？？剧本毫无重点，导致人物非常扁平。都不如最后原型出来唱首歌震撼…
没有戏剧冲突，又不够纪实，不知道导演想讲什么。就是老太太本人很厉害
谭耀文还是挺有意思的，但少了那谁的老公，搞笑气氛就没那么重了。
作为很工整的传记片来说，缺点和优点都很明显，特别是在后半段叙事零散，很多事件被压缩的情况下，Jennifer Hudson也在自己的范围内做到了最好，真的值得奖项肯定。然而影片的高潮竟然是最后AF晚年表演的影象，一下子就明白为什么她代表了一个时代。
完全没有剧情可言了已经，沦落为合家欢电影的悲哀
