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.
一个无疾而终的故事，一对莫名其妙杀人的老人，一群无缘无故就死了的年轻人
「赋予行为以动机」恐怕是新世纪恐怖片始终贯彻的一个基本点，而本片在怀旧滤镜之外，试图挖掘出「垮掉的一代」的心灵根源，以及更大的人类共情——「生命的激情」，这样的情感的确是会变异成妖的。
好同情那一对儿老夫妻，最后老太太没把女主杀了，属实可惜。
不知道是不是故意走这种复古路线，套路跟以前的致命弯道系列差不多，不过在视听上的把控和氛围的塑造有挺多不错的地方，主题挺让人不舒适的。总体亮点不多
3.5 最後20分鐘 such fun！收穫了真。嚇死和被自己開槍的後座力轟倒的奇思妙想 剪輯挺有意思 嚇人也有很認真在嚇 雖然嚇人的位對於看比較多電影的人來講不算突如其來 但效果已經夠好了 “I'd say one goddamn fucked up horror picture. ” lol 有笑到
挺逗乐的，为爱杀人，为爱痴狂，难得在这样的电影里可以看到一个讨论正确价值观的场景，而且本片中心该是这几个小年轻一起讨论的戏份：及时行乐，老了就操不动了，哈哈哈。
还别说，你不提这是恐怖片，一开头你真以为这电影是要说个什么事，直接导致差点被老年人吓死…
质感其实很不错 个人觉得比soho惊魂夜执行自由很多 可惜就是暴力或情色作为任何一种引人买票的元素 它下料不够 毕竟不能要求恐怖片迷沉溺于影像质感
比较老派的恐怖片风格，米娅分饰两角真没看出来。
意外还不错，没有停留在对老一辈恐怖片各类元素的肤浅复古之上 3.5
整個故事真的超級一般，也沒什麼重口可言除非A片的拍攝過程也算？！ 但有些鏡頭還是可以的，衰老的描述其實還好，另外我挺喜歡這片配樂的
恐怖类型万千，老年人性生活类型的恐怖片真是没见过，那视觉冲击力不怕你不害怕，就怕你不恶心……
对不起我对这种主题实在接受无能，不是说我觉得老年人不可以有性欲，但他们因为嫉妒年轻人而杀戮，还自以为能让他们永远炽热的爱情锦上添花，我完全厌恶。
[1]盲目刻板而又压抑的灵魂是否也曾会感到羞愧？[2]那台黑白电视机太懂什么是讽刺了。
A24标准元素：动物/肉体/欲望/爆炸的身体。尝试把惊悚和情欲融为一体，同时将衰老和宗教作为不断萦绕的恐惧。衰老和妒忌被导向了杀人和毁灭的欲望，这套逻辑非常恐怖片
题材引人入胜，情色入戏，恐怖入魂，可惜导演功力稍欠缺，后半变成无脑片玩脱了。
仍旧是公路惊悚片的套路，标配都是一群有男有女的小年轻+农场变态杀人狂，只是把作死玩法改成了拍黄色小电影，贡献了不少裸露镜头。杀手也从高大威猛的形象改成备受衰老煎熬的退伍老夫妻，战斗力主要来自别人的关心，气氛则主要靠白发皱纹与变态性幻想来营造～而他们之所以杀人原因也是很简单的老头不行了老太婆却想要，想来老去的不举比惨遭屠杀更加可怕~渴望年轻肉体的欢愉，算是提供了一个比较猎奇的角度，只是前期节奏太过缓慢，不匹配屠杀气质，好在尺度上有一定把握，女主最后的车轮爆头反杀虽在意料之中，也还是有喷射的快感。所以片名X的意思应该是操！
剧情是什么玩意？不理解为什么给97%
snuff复建，前半段的铺垫让我以为后面会有更不一样的东西呢……
女主之前拍过达科塔约翰逊的翻拍版《阴风阵阵》，怎么又接Cult恐怖片……
