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.

一个完全不科幻的故事,讲人和人的连接,讲父亲和孩子,讲孤独和世界.
故事很震撼，电影不太行。原以为是个单纯的jian杀案，然后发现是为了阻止举报的仇杀，最后才知道是为了选举设计的一出戏。一开始以为律师是坏的，结果发现律师是好的。一开始以为警察是好的，结果是坏的。本来信息量就已经非常大了，最后一部分又用闪回的方式试图讲清楚律师与政客的恩怨，试图讲清楚律师是如何被冤枉的，警察是如何看清现实后帮助律师的。最后这部分我觉得再拍一部电影也很紧凑，而本片只用了十来分钟闪回，观众只能大概猜测一二。所以电影最大的问题是顾此失彼，头重脚轻，结构是不平衡的。
有时真的是，大部分人就是真理吗，学生民众很多人被利用情感而煽动
乍看导演是让观众不要看表象，但导演全程都隐瞒着重要人物关系 因果关系在讲述，直到最后几分钟才一下放出全部关系 这种头重脚轻 刻意隐瞒重要线索情节到最后的方式 绝对上不了4星
又一神片，呵呵。
民众日常被zz摆弄而不自知，教育系统是潜移默化的洗脑，一部电影多角度讽刺，法庭辩论的部分是想要起立鼓掌的程度，总的来说意义大于电影本身，五🌟（革命万岁！
imdb 6.8
学会做减法是印度电影百尺竿头更进一步的最大难关。
印度和韩国一样，文化界的反思很多，却没什么用
牛批啊，这个题材涉及的之广，对比法已经不想用了，吹东亚其他国的工业电影就行。
看着瘦骨嶙峋的汤叔真的直观的感受到末日的绝望，旅程的遭遇更是让人感到孤独，绝望，芬奇担心自己不在，杰夫没办法照顾好goodyear，距离旧金山不远处看到蝴蝶的瞬间，感受阳光的瞬间，支起遮阳伞，that is it，living，就在这感受生活最后的瞬间。btw教育真的很重要，芬奇选的书，和他分享给杰夫的故事，和杰夫说的话，将他变成这个有爱的机器人，教他和狗建立信任，但是又不要信任任何人。很矛盾，可是却是生存下去的方法。芬奇设定的程序，永远不要伤害人类也不能坐视人类被伤害，芬奇既绝望却又在杰夫身上寄予着希望，显示了不失人性的一面。
故事D：正义律师忍辱负重一朝加倍奉还。
翻转+翻转，指出了很多问题，但感觉都是各种煽动。民众和学生也太好煽动了。
题材大胆，多重反转，已经很好看了，秒杀如今的一众国产电影
以为是讨论程序正当的话题，法律牵扯上媒体和政治革命以及女权保护、导师压榨论文机器，真是大餐。政治家最大的武器是利用公众的情感。既白虎后又一力作，印度越来越敢拍。为大尺度+★
故事A：一场女性主义应援引发的骚动；
背景设定不够严谨，故事是好的。从《荒岛余生》到《芬奇》，汤姆·汉克斯这次不再是一个人。jeff问：什么叫信任？芬奇回答不出来。jeff说：我相信芬奇。芬奇却说：我是个懦夫，不值得相信。而最终，芬奇只能把希望寄托在jeff身上，而jeff用行动证明，他会成长为一个值得信任的伙伴。
3.对公众情感的操控的能力是政治家最大的选票
本片高潮在法庭辩论的反转环节，能将政治阴谋、种姓歧视、学术腐败、操控媒体这么多黑暗的权利游戏一起呈现，已然了不得。在泯灭良心的政治家的眼里，民众是猪狗。另外，不喜欢印度电影频频出现的bgm。
