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.

不是什么剧都适合改电影啊，DEH尤其是……既然要做电影，不如直接按原著来把Connor的暗线全部拍出来，丰富得多。Murphy父母演得跟玩儿似的，看起来就真的不像死了儿子，真像把Evan当儿子了。
摩尔和Kaitlyn Dever实在太像母女了（不过也演过母女了
相比摩尔我觉得艾米的表演更有力。虽然主演已经没有少年感了，但是感觉好莱坞的服道化还是很给力的。唯一可惜的是观众如果没法共情，就会觉得emition manipulative
能把这样沉重的题材拍得如此妙趣横生，拍得如此悬念十足、创意十足，不断反转，真是太难得了。
后面有点啰嗦，在我看来之前凶手已经kill2个，也不差这最后一个，最后又jjyy了
音乐与画面色调都极其克制，压得有些透不过气，从福岛地震引出的本国社会福利问题让人唏嘘不已。原来霓虹也有饿死的穷人，我本来以为只有2202的SH。佐藤每次有大动作，我就以为要飞天御剑流了。
这部电影在小范围预映阶段就被音乐剧粉骂得不行不行的了，据说是因为著名制作人Marc Platt (主演Ben的爸爸) 早就买下了版权所以Ben才理所当然地在银幕上继续演Evan，27岁的Ben嗓子一向没的说，但外形实在是像37，不知道网上传Ben生活中的人品就是男版的Lea Michele是不是真的~~
前半小时：剧情再狗血再拉垮，还是对音乐剧毫无抵抗力，五星好评！超过40分钟：流水线的半流行乐审美疲劳，强行升华尴尬到脚趾抓地！一点小建议：看到40分钟妹妹飙完车回家就及时止损吧，2星给Connor颜值和歧义梗。
总体来说，还是能看
主角Ben Platt唱功了得，而且这部虽然根据百老汇音乐剧改编，但是少数我觉得更适合改编成电影的音乐剧。原因是涉及青少年故事，电影可以更容易接触到年轻人，引发共鸣和讨论，也更容易呈现片中起到重要作用的社交网络。故事用很有创意的方式探讨了困扰很多年轻人的抑郁症和校园霸凌。其实对家长和青少年重视身心健康有很重要意义。看的几次眼眶湿润。卡司也很优秀。
真正需要低保救济金的人的死活，骗保这笔钱的人毫不关心，发放这笔钱的人不够关心。
TIFF解禁后的负面评价与CinemaScore的分歧不言自喻，看到Ben还特意有点小计较地发了ins说电影是给观众的，莫名想笑- -明年就是心头肉《贱 女孩》音乐剧改影了，看样子也可以准备大吵一架了【。或许评论看的是超龄扮演为电影带来的莫名“不成立”抑或是严肃议题下音乐与故事的偏差；但更多的观众却始终汲取的是这个优秀故事不随形式而改变、从未被磨灭的核心能量：不会被忽视，终会被找到。电影做到了后者，就完成了核心任务。【Anybody Have a Map？没有进行一次改编有点遗憾，毕竟是当时最喜欢的一首；还有实在爱不起某人的片尾，不如重放中段的那个版本，也在最后打破了】
一直都不怎么喜欢周围朋友逢看必哭的DEH，看到电影版这么糊真的好惊讶，musical圈原来这么小吗……（电影版确实不怎么样
但事实不是那样的
节奏太慢了，而且杀人动机也太勉强了。谁都没有错，制度的错吗？
一场地震改变了一切，脆弱的保障体系值得深思
真不是每部音乐剧改编电影都能手到擒来，与其改拍成这样这样还不如去拍官摄。导演真是不行！这么好的音乐剧这么好的演员都浪费了！音乐五星！演员五星！导演0分！
题材是好题材 但是选角降低了可信度 很难带入
电影中有很多台词都可以截图出来，剧情还不错，部分节奏可以再紧凑一些。卡司是真的优秀！
