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.
妙啊！！确实剧本杀~！多重视角反转也很有趣。“货”有惊到。一对比扬名立万不行…但是导演功力就…
无功无过的一部电影，里面有一些很经典的港式笑话包袱，很多镜头拍的还不错，蛮有意思的。算是近几年香港为数不多的静下心来踏踏实实的电影。
虽然这是大多数不幸运中通过天赋与努力取得的胜利，但我们也依然不要放弃呀。分数更多是因为事件本身
5.5/10。合格的商业悬疑片剧本吧，我在想这种本子怎么变得电影化，很难。在电脑上看可以给三星，大荧幕应该两星了。（窦骁好像谢霆锋啊）
三星半。经常带孩子看动画片，这次想让他见识一下励志片。
今年的黑马来了！范伟主演就没有不好看的戏！
当你看到后面得知生意是指贩卖儿童时，再回过头来看张总叫老李（范伟）把生意告诉马明亮那段，你会觉得很无语，这种事是可以开玩笑的吗？
3.5⭐

真人真事拍成这样也不易 很难戳到泪点 台词对话太生硬。
精彩不足，及格有余，国产片久违的多线叙事，让人眼前一亮，但是由于节奏偏慢，线索过多，后面出现的人多了泄气，圆得很勉强。全片95%的戏份都在一个房间内景完成的，只有零星的航拍和两三个外景，真就省钱到极致!把钱冻冰箱里，直接从医院抢走孩子，亏你想的出来啊？编剧!罢了罢了！9.9元看范伟老师，图个乐呵~
《妈妈的神奇小子》
小破房，迷你局，多方博弈，全员恶人，节外生枝，骗中再骗，通篇剥洋葱式扩大情报，配合范伟“欲言又止”式黑幽默，打造错综且略别扭的悬疑剧本，闹到最后不出所料回归人性。PS：新人导演表现尚可，格局不大，取巧制胜，点到即止，加一星是鼓励，慢慢磨炼吧。
这种叙事按照个人口味来说，我可能永远也看不腻，李春来越来越有自己的味了，窦骁到片尾才认出来，他会演戏也是没想到，当然我最爱的还是范大爷，这片应该和扬名立万的分数差不多啊
虽然煽情有点多，但是还是很推荐。尤其是苏妈讲的那句，你残疾是天生的，没有人怪你，所有人都是怪我。
配乐实在是太失败了， 交响乐的一镜到底，剧情实在是不饱满
基本上是在玩信息不对称。二人组登场之前都还有些意思，圆的也还算合情合理，可是二人组登场后，这TM啥玩意呀，就如同耍观众一样
三星半。非线性结构的悬疑片。范伟演技没得说。窦骁算是个惊喜。
尚可，特别是交易的真相出现的时候让我愣住了一下。
值得走进影院观看，强推粤语版！！
