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.
电影前半段的体验感觉是在看电视剧，拍了一大堆用来水时长的素材，真正有用的信息倒是没多少，后半段推理部分倒是挺紧凑的，不过没啥悬念，挺无聊的。
但只有83分钟的时长就是耍流氓。
比东方快车好了一咪咪，但仍然不值得一个及格分。kb略略收敛，增加了小老头味，少了点搏斗追逐，但推理部分依然莫名其妙烂的可以。我就不懂少了simon的大声质问，jacky怎么能领会精神，就凭那一声赶紧的？jacky是全程持枪蹲在窗后？然后最后证据的部分，就那个粉红色能证明毛线？能证明simon手上有火药痕迹吗？？依然自作聪明的修改各种没必要的小细节，颜料，同性恋，胡子的来历？这都什么玩意儿。还有调查布克的未婚妻为人？波罗是干这事的？？
肯导爱给自己加戏的陋习比上一部更甚了。不知道是否是他太注重自己的戏，导致全片演員几乎没有什么值得发挥的点，前作起码有菲佛高光时刻。剧情核心三人组，神奇女侠和Hammer全程演技失踪，Emma过关（开头舞蹈后眼含泪光、枪杀案前的哭戏两处都完成了预示性的作用）。剧情魔改、没有悬疑感等等这些通病也就不提了。P.S 演惯了🇬🇧人的贝宁阿姨英音确实好听.
"The romance of the desert has the power to seduce. I ask you: have you ever loved so much, been so possessed by jealousy, that you might kill?"
不会改，不会拍，阿婆看了要骂街（gāi）。
比大多数院线片好看，虽然剧情平平，但演员都比较自然，两场狭窄空间的动作戏很刺激。
上次看谢苗的电影还是新少林五祖和赤子威龙，没想到现在已经都38岁了，还挺精神的，依稀可见小时候的模样，他是真会功夫吗？
估计票房还不错？不然我实在想不出为啥要投钱这样魔改。
画面很棒，没看过老版，就是后面侦探是怎么得出结论的没讲明白，有点闪
没看小说
依旧是群戏，东方快车波洛是大把胡须，这部里就没胡子了。开篇黑白片说一战，逝去的世界和旧时繁华，没看过原著，服化道还行吧。
动作设计够精彩，拳拳到肉。就是反派三兄弟都是路人脸，没气场没魅力。
三星半吧…看不到啥推理 但是颜值加半颗星 原著好看多了…顺便吐槽一嘴开头的黑白 一开始以为走错厅了 到底为啥要介绍胡子的由来呀………
也不能说有多烂，但确实很平庸，现在5,8分的构成，果然接近60%打出的都是中规中矩的三颗星。聚集一众演员，最后就是个名侦探柯南的剧场版，只能说这类经典推理题材，翻拍真不如编新的故事，出力不讨好。唯一惊艳的不是盖尔加朵，反而是饰演女二的艾玛·麦基，好像小丑女玛格特·罗比，总是出戏，以为下一秒就要为爱变身了。
锤的口音这辈子改不掉了吧😂 痴情女演得蛮好～ 推理推了个寂寞 基本上故事一开始已经所有人都怀疑是奔着谋财害命去的了吧
简单直白粗暴，没看过原著的还能当个爆米花看，看过原著的就觉得很不咋地了，肯尼斯显然没领悟到阿婆的精髓
影片在我看来已经是惨案，比影片更惨案的是，不管是好评还是差评你甚至无法在豆瓣看到一篇像样的影评
侦探用不标准的英语流利地讲述着往事，飞速地分析着案情，不忘在动情处潸然泪下。难道不是很好吗？
打戏比目中无人拍得好，很值得看，至于其他的剧情，可以稍微跳过一下
