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.
至少在直面问题，虽然happy ending比较童话
不過電影可能是站在Partner角度考量，不想孩子成為紐帶，造成信任危機---萬一對方是bi呢？
难得看到个happy ending ❤️ 偶尔需要它来避世
剧情差了一点意思。但是整个题材还是很赞了！很多地方看得泪目。作为异性恋者，却一直很支持LGBT群体，真爱无关性别。你看，最后大家笑得多开心呀。坦然接纳也没什么啊。一辈子那么短，干嘛那么拧巴着呢。做自己想做的，不危害他人即可。
美好到不真实。但现实那么苦，在电影里做做梦又有何不可？称之为纯爱片儿都不为过。
好像第一次在印度电影里看见女配由藏族女星（不完全确定）扮演，可惜查不到这位女星的资料。
虽然但是，这可是印度同志电影！！游行出来的时候眼泪唰就流下来了😭
男同和女同组成的形婚，我愿叫它天作之合。感情是发自本心的
印度是一个奇怪的融合体，存在着世界上最先进、最开放的思想，也有最落后、最糟糕的陋习。宗教氛围浓厚，有多种教派在这边汇集，人民信教的比例很高，还有严格的种族制度，但同时也是一个开放的国家，人民的各种自由意志在这里融合展现。
在国内刚刚知道什么是同妻形婚的时候，印度这个曾明确同性恋违法的国家拍出来这样一部电影。
影片涉及了挺多在现实中要面对的问题，结局的走向表达了一种人人都能得偿所愿的期望。
不知道有生之年能不能看到这种题材
对于印度来说，这种题材也算难得吧，但是两个半小时的MV加全是刻板印象的闹剧，谁受得了…
女二有点像咏梅老师哈。
似乎是印象中看过的第一部带点性戏剧意味的印度电影，男同、女同、形婚、领养，很前卫的因素，更何况是2018年才判定同性性行为不是犯罪的印度，前面的喜剧氛围很浓厚，最后两人坦诚出柜的部分还是皆大欢喜的结局，家人们接受和转变的速度与前面的铺垫相比，显得快了很多，从戏剧冲突的到来和解决还是比较理想化的，不过总体仍然是一部很不错的电影，当然了，前提是能接受无处不在的插曲以及慢镜
同性话题，想起了同妻和骗婚。结局过于理想，一个妥协之下的五口之家。
隔壁阿三都能拍出这种电影 里面的gay主真的刻画得很好 男性的甩锅，不负责，抠门，某些时候的无脑体现得淋漓尽致 相爱的两个人，眼神就能看出来是否相爱，天雷勾地火，一触即燃。 嘤嘤嘤，我一外人都磕到了磕到了😭
这段时间看的印度电影都属于立意好但故事就是讲不好的类型，节奏拖拉故事衔接也有毛病，但好笑的地方是没被影响到，比如带老妈回家的那段。
大家对印度电影这么宽容吗？这片子拿掉“形婚”主题来看，整个影片结构跟国产轻喜剧没什么区别啊，国产轻喜剧还能少拍一个小时。
4.5 删掉尬舞片段和几段MV式风情片段就满分了
