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.
the british lady and the american lady are still the best at their roles. do we even want to remember what has happened this year? cause its a total shit show with no promising ending
跟《向上看》比说不上非常优秀，但也够聪明，用来打发无聊又莫名焦虑的一个半小时是值得的
反智美国的年度总结，这个超级大国从未像如今这么分裂过
1，2021年，工作群的疫情排查接龙好像成为了最深刻的记忆。2，前两天突然想到，2021年没有“最”盘点，有时候如果不是日记很多事情都记不起来了，但是2021年一整年都没有翻看过我写的日记，或许是不愿意回忆，或许是没有什么值得回忆的。3，2021去死比2020去死好笑一点，但也悲伤一点，人们依旧无聊，依旧愤怒，依旧没有从2020吸取到任何一点教训。可能明年的现在我又会说，天啊，感觉看2021去死还是昨天，怎么就要2023了呢。4，2021再见，2022要健康！！
当冲突能带来利益，既得利者们开始引导甚至制造冲突。
要是Weekend Update也能做个类似形式的年度总结，可能更有趣。
年年似年年，年年盼年年
这一部的表演感比2020年更加重了一些，在我中国来讲，2021好像并没有什么铭记于心的大事可以从这一部电影里引起共鸣……而从美国来讲，或许是比2021的社会更加撕裂了
2021真是太难了，戏谑调侃一下，反衬一下那些经历过的人间不真实，才能更好地反省这个真实的世界到底有多荒谬
又俗又烂又好笑，像极了国内互联网公司会在办公楼打卡机旁边放的宣传片，像极了2021。
其实很低端不好看，但去年最后一部是death to 2020，今年最后一部就2021吧，一种表态233
这样的拍法每年都能出一集到2099年，如果网飞那会还在。
此时此刻当我看完这部电影的时候，不知为什么让我想起了2007年尾跨年之夜的那次中出……感受是一模一样的。
我原以为2020年就很糟了，没想到2021年还是那么糟，现在看来，2022年只会更糟糕。
“从2021中学到了什么？我明白了，没有人从2020学到一点教训”，看完好笑又有点悲哀；梗挺多的；练听力和了解时事的好机会
没有2020去死讽刺力度大，但还是回顾了一下主要的点
没有Death to 2020好看 but为了Hugh叔
2022的第一天看了这部关于2021的片子。。世界还是不太平的。。似乎2020后就更加疯狂
自己给自己黑到家，反正就是不管什么事情都要分两派，从戴不戴口罩打不打疫苗到总统选举，感觉美国人民天天过得跟辩论大赛似的。还不如干脆恢复到南北战争之前的地盘，由驴象两党分而治之呢。的亏是伪纪录片，要是真实的美国早就被玩坏了。
魔幻到一定程度，就会分不清是创作还是现实。
