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.
简单得十分真实的灾难片，好像所有的事都是女主一个人在做。
女主真冷静，能想到救生艇加水压仓下潜；亚瑟真男人，和前面提不动包的反差太绝了；救生艇真牛逼，能在水下启动，这是带着氧化剂还是电驱所以不需要氧气？救生队也牛逼，能穿过原油刚烧完的浓烟去把那俩人救出来，男主……emmmmmmmm……
北欧灾难片，不过由于格局在那里，所以拍的观感一般，但是也不算难看。
One of those movie night movies... I like Jenny Slate though, and Manny Magnus was great!
打着灾难的幌子，用八九十年代的剧本，讲一个单身狗很伟大的故事。。。
太扯了 仿佛说上世纪的剧情。亚马逊是躺平了嘛？
小哥北海钻石油，台塌气喷四处流。爱人舍命来相救，事业爱情险中求。
草尼玛人均智障！编剧导演脑子被比夹了，越看越生气！
其实还不错，又一部挪威灾难片，场景不不可谓不宏达，就是感觉跟好莱坞那帮子有点风格不同，铺垫太长，而且女主为了救老公赔进去一个好朋友，这………
打发时间看得流水线电影，40岁的女主还是很赞。
灾难片而言确实不够震撼，情节也没有太过波动，要是纪录片来看应该说还行
很无聊很俗套，很不喜欢这种分手了还搞破坏跟踪的戏码。
美国的警察永远都是这边都打完了才来收拾残局，无一例外。
Marc Platt真的不是照着自己儿子在拍这部片子的吗……【Ben Platt应该在家痛哭为什么这个本子没早十五年交到自己家手上吧【
欧洲人不喜欢看电影，还是喜欢歌剧啊。
这部片子的立意不错，但是这对情侣就是败笔！你要救你男朋友就自己去救，不但自说自话把上千万的设备给丢海里，还顺手弄死自己的朋友，什么玩意儿，由此1星都不想给
这是黑挪威自己的片子吧，本以为是部灾难大片，看完却是小打小闹，女主救生舱排水那段喘的不晓得的以为在看欧美av……
真挚动人，看之前以为会非常俗套，但是看了只后觉得非常惊喜
Joshua的原声不好听，主角的朋友比主角本人有气场多了
成色出乎意料的不错，技法很娴熟，剧情流畅，虽然戏剧冲突不算多么激烈，即使有一条女主深入险境救夫的主线情节，剧情缺乏一个大高潮，就连最后火海逃生的危机也没有太多的紧迫感，男闺蜜的牺牲、逃生艇中的一系列困境都比较套路。但演员们的表现普遍都出色，冷寂的氛围很深刻，几个大场面也给足诚意了，女主的表现很亮眼。
