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.
所以Samuel L Jackson演的角色到底要假死幾次？
一帮上世纪70年代的人在21世纪初演了一本上世纪90年代风格的动作片
MQ逃不出尼基塔的影子，而且还开始了中年油腻。
近年来流行的大女主动作片，最大的看点是Maggie Q保持了一如既往的飒爽身手，有点尼基塔大电影版的感觉......剩下的内容就乏善可陈了，当娱乐片凑合能看完...
二手书店杀手，让人想到《雅贼》系列，这里还是有趣，但是迈克尔基顿进店询价一节增添了怪诞感。
正在进行时的故事编不下去了的时候才开始回溯过往走走人物内心试图转移视线，这么生硬的叙事手法也是笨拙的可以。
情节老套，文戏稀碎，武戏太少
故事有点没讲完啊，有头无尾，奇奇怪怪，打戏还是不错的。
后面黑大爷不话唠的话，不失为一部干净利落的动作片
什么鬼，杀的好好的怎么上床了。难道是杀出过量荷尔蒙忍不住啪啪啪？
如果没有太多空余时间，或者愿意来吐槽，那就不要看了。当然，李美琪居然神奇地将胸部搞大了一些，其实没有必要。
暴力血腥的大女主童话。女主一路打怪，文戏四舍五入等于没有。武戏还可以，但也比较好莱坞同质化。
《门徒》。5分。
黑老头假死，弄个杀手把脸轰趴就行了?身材皮肤都一样?后面出来的时候就尼玛恶心了。
暴力血腥的大女主童话。女主一路打怪，文戏四舍五入等于没有。武戏还可以，但也比较好莱坞同质化。
Well.? 我们Maggie还是很好看的。Keaton老斯虽好但是总觉得和角色不太搭。好喜欢Anna在伦敦的书店。小Anna的演员挺好看的。
整个片子流畅性特别高。动作戏也很过瘾。MQ身材绝了。片中各种衣服都可以hold 太羡慕了。一口流利的英文也是很喜欢。最后结尾近距离的互相爆头是通过窗户的影子和推门而出的一瞬间来说结果，总感觉有点混淆视线。感觉还有后续。场景在好几个地方拍的。风土人情背景喜欢。局长还是一如既往的诈死╮(╯▽╰)╭
冲着Maggie Q看的，动作戏还算利落。如果不是靠成熟的制作，本片会挺难看。
Cineplex. International Village. 没评价里写的那么难看但是真的有点长了....
演员非常吸引人，但这个剧本简直是用脚写的，白瞎了这个阵容…2.5
