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.
前面平到三星的观感，但色调好看，女主可爱，末段也骤然升华了。
进门的时候，还被我当成了路人……
今年的惊喜之作，比花束更安静，但更有力量。
我们都会成为龌蹉的大人
看从什么维度去定义普通吧。说到底，为什么人生要用普通不普通来做评价，人生也有好多个阶段，为什么要把它打个包。我的人生有段美好的回忆，有段痛苦的下沉，有段拼命的爬坡，这是我更喜欢的一种叙述方式
最后镜头回到最初的那一刻的时候 真的很美好啊
为啥要给伊藤纱莉胸部这么久的特写..而且这个电影是如何做到2个小时只向观众传输了大概1个小时电影的信息量的。要不是拍摄还比较精良，大概只值3分了。

很典型的日本爱情电影的那种别扭和自己较劲的调调，还挺好看的
3.5 日系薄荷糖。要是少一点做作的镜头和剪辑会更好。
心理学家有个名词叫玫瑰色追忆 指的是人们对过去的评价会比现在积极、正面得多。而且人们会把一些细小的、令人愉快的细节，回想得比实际经历更加美好。其实当下也许是最好的时刻，试着感恩现在的一切小事就不会再拘泥于过去。
电影后劲还是很足的。虽然但是，我居然还挺想看东出昌大多演一点电影。
46岁，我成为了无聊的大人。从垃圾堆里的46岁，一直倒叙到20岁。星空灯小旅馆真的很漂亮啊
很高兴现在还有人有魄力拍这样的电影，用编年体的手法去展示普通人的青春。如果说大人，就是小时候我们所仰视的人，一个在某方面给你树立了榜样的人或者干脆就是一个成功的人，那么在大多数电影里，我们都可以看到一个不同凡响的人生。而大多数的我们，注定普通。
那么，你又成为了怎样的大人？
太一般了 特别东出昌大是重要角色的情况下 看得糟心 总觉得这个剧情没必要倒叙 以及森山未来感觉演这个太大材小用了 伊藤沙莉真的也不太适合…………千言万语 casting的错！
只有东亚才会拍的故事：倒叙人生发现自己成为了以前最讨厌的大人，稀松平常的往事变成了照亮麻木人生的光。看似一无所有的时候其实拥有全世界，实现了世俗意义上的成功后惊觉现在才是彻底的孑然一身。
比看小说的感觉更淡更丧。（为了不造成别人的困扰而不将心意说出口还挺微妙的）
日本确实很喜欢拍这一类恬淡风格的作品，很多人拿这部和花束比较，个人觉得花束会好很多。也许是零碎的倒叙剪辑，让我出神了。
没大看懂电影想表达什么。慢慢接受自己变得普通？不，我不认为自己普通，工作上收敛光芒，生活里独一无二，我的世界里只有我，是不是“普通”有什么关系？
