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.
夜色中沉沉望的 是梦 是遥不可及
一部120分钟的电影塞了10个故事，也是厉害，每个故事都是如此没有新意，没有一个让人眼前一亮，平庸到了极致
知道不好看，所以预期很低，没想到这么难看🤣
#PYIFF。看的过程不断想起《小伟》，同样是关于家庭、房屋、个人，这部却太过私人与炫技。很喜欢开头的部分，越往后越展示了一个男孩逐渐失语的过程，成长伴随着自我剥离，在深夜里难免引人睡去。
不少故事的构思还挺惊艳，奈何因为单个故事时间有限，都不了了之，草草收场。或者说有限的时间并非借口，即便短小，也能精悍，如果处理得更走心，完全可以获得更高的分数。Ps：话说导演是按青春偶像剧挑的演员？颜值还真都很在线，演技也不是很尬，有点浪费了，稍显可惜。
5：鬼敲墙（男主认为是一场浪漫邂逅…）
好无聊啊，本来还以为齿虫那个有点意思，结果又回到了丧尸。。。。
哈哈哈哈 全都嗝屁啦 消遣时间还是可以的
没想到现在用美图秀秀的特效恶搞滤镜也能拍成一部恐怖电影了？
几个小学生无聊做了一个编鬼故事比赛的游戏，还给拍成电影了真逗
不到两个小时的电影竟然塞进10个恐怖小故事，可惜保量不保质，恐怖元素大杂烩却不能做到每个故事的逻辑性
一堆零碎老故事， 不吓人看着也乱。有几个极其无聊。
很像男团女团参加恐怖主题综艺时候的小短片。 下饭，给三星。
一部当代柬埔寨社会问题的聚焦与缩影，以小见大的手法比较高明，时代变迁下的小人物在风雨飘摇下成长。视听优秀。节奏略拖沓。#5th PYIFF#
风风火火的讲了好几个故事，全都没头没尾的，还不如好好把一个故事讲完整。灵媒那个故事男主还挺帅的。
故事多就算了，没一个有创意的，凑时长呢吗这是，每个故事还都没头没尾的。

“二手家具”首个镜头女主和沙发靓丽的配色非常舒适。以及后面夜拍橙黄与蓝色系的打光很协调。躲去卫生间那里看到了《闪灵》的影子
吓人到不吓人，故事也不算吸引人，但拍摄的手法都很专业，画面的氛围都很不错。
导演一再用“楼长”烂掉的脚趾头来指代需要拆迁的大楼，似乎不把楼拆掉，城市就会像他一样落得一个截肢的下场。但是导演也告诉我们，他真正病因是糖尿病。对于柬埔寨来说，病因是贫穷，是不公。不要随便说“要拿出壮士断腕的勇气”，毕竟截肢的不是喊口号的人。这个片的缺点吧，就是叙事效率太低，影像风格有形无神，有炎热的天气，没有温度。
