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.
#豆瓣电影
人物动机愚蠢剧情推进靠巧合，展开太一般了%
杰西卡的表演配得上女主！加菲演技真的是完了，表演痕迹太明显了！尤其是需要爆发力的时候，总觉得没有力量！剧情呢，没啥好不好的，真人真事改编，能看的就看进去了，不爱看的怎么说也不能爱看！
平庸的传记片，与近些年来的名人传记片一样，演员的表演成了唯一的亮点，剧情稀碎，重点模糊。影片意图讲述主人公在信仰的成长和利益的冲突面前所经历的起伏人生，但她对传教的独到心得、对信仰的复杂态度却没有呈现出来，而是本末倒置地过多展示她失败的婚姻，缺少打动人心的点。但劳模姐毁容式的表演的确值得一尊奥斯卡。
secret cinema blablabla 3.5每個人物都unlikable ，服化道佳
劳模姐颁奖季这些提名太值得了 加菲也很好 最后出现的的演员对比本人想到《逃离德黑兰》了
无比工整且无趣的奥系片，大概也只有在颁奖季才让人有想看的欲望。劳模的表演很出彩，情绪把控非常精准，但在这种除了冲奥毫无意义的电影里也无法更进一步带来惊喜。
Oscar level performance, Jessica!

不喜欢这种基督教电影，感觉很迷信很洗脑传销的感觉。男主的长相我本来就不喜欢，女主后期的扮相，妆发也很丑
服化道非常厉害，看到后期的Tammy我都能闻到美国大妈身上的那股香味。他们真的是一个时代的产物。信仰给人力量也让人迷惑。
That’s why we need to ban 传销.
神奇的化妆术 完全看不出劳模姐的影子 也让她和加菲有了夫妻相 希望劳模姐拿小金人
现实中女主还东山再起了，电影没有拍出来感觉有点遗憾
感觉好莱坞越来越多为了拿奖而拍而演的无聊传奇传记片了
故事的核心始终没找到属于自己的落脚点，终成平庸寡淡的流水账。
今年第二部最佳，导演风格品味一流，有些人批评本片的节奏，可能他们只擅长看一种尖叫型的恐怖片，我觉得导演很明显在用一个日常平缓的节奏，不是要给你讲一个突如其来的精彩故事，而是稀松平常每天都在发生的恐怖故事。啊，如今这社会对女性来说，就是这么恐怖，女人应该如实表达自己的情绪，站在大街上一起尖叫一起抗议。
哈哈～怎么觉得加菲也还不错。可能在美国太出名了有些细节和过渡就默认不作交代了导致感觉浮皮潦草，劳模姐毁容演出是不错的，但是……私心希望她是以一个更个性的女性角色捧下小金人
纯粹靠表演打动你，非常喜欢劳模姐，当然也喜欢加菲。
最后的1/3不要太棒！！！2022/7/5大森家
