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.
比网大质量好，但也有很多效仿痕迹，前三十分钟叙事密度流畅度不错，后面剧本力度上不太行。
今年少有得把心思都花在功夫上的功夫片，看功夫片不就是看功夫嘛？
没有一个人在讲人话，剧情稀碎，一个小时过去了还不知道主人公到底想干啥，塑造的江湖架空，架空并不意味着失真，每个人做事都没有逻辑且非常直接，每个人都在端着。你要学王家卫就学到底，要学徐浩峰就学到底，哪怕说你抄袭日本剑戟片你也抄得真诚一点好吗？否则就是四不像、丑八怪
别的不说，同是网大，比同时期的魔改的新倚天也好了不止一点。有点师傅宇宙的意思
打斗不浮夸，不错的，最后让小孩死是为了补偿么?
有点日本剑客的味道。
《东邪西毒》+《倭寇的踪迹》+《绣春刀》，可能还有一点《双旗镇刀客》，拍摄得很用心，动作设计可圈可点，演员有型但表演略差，可惜剧本毁一切。
网大已经可以磨出这般质地的片子，加一星，以资鼓励
只有头和尾2段打斗有看的价值，所以给2星，剧情垃圾，建议中间剧情2倍速。
话说这部电影套用了很多林冲的桥段啊！
武侠的地点不一定都设在西北荒漠
年度最佳西部片。各种元素都到位，还要什么自行车。
并不是所有的武侠都需要快意恩仇，为国为民。最后的妻子有点想起剑雨里的女主。这么说来，当时看完以后觉得也就还行的剑雨，反而成了这些年武侠的巅峰。自己可能是属于最后一批见证过武侠辉煌的人了，以后不知道是否还有武侠片看了。
3、男主长得像张震+宋洋结合体
很喜欢《东邪西毒》，但武侠其实在其中更多是背景主题。没想到导演拍了一部《东》那片沙漠里的江湖故事，仿佛《东邪西毒》外传，满足了我的想象。立足于极现实的江湖故事，夹带一点佛道思想，而打斗也是这些年中国武术圈复原的明代刀法，所以这就值得好评，毕竟导演还是做了功课的。反派杀手怎么看都是致敬《绣春刀》的丁修，但也只是勉强模仿。其实剧组的诚意和理念都能明白，不过可能也是刚起步，有些地方还可以更好。三星半的电影，打四星表示支持。
这个年代愿意拍武侠的都是值得鼓励的，虽然里面有很多电影的影子，不失为一个全力之作，至少是一个认真在拍的网大，在网大里属于水平较高的了。
勉强能看，把拍电视剧的温慢放到电影里，太拖沓。还好不脑残...
没事还可以看看，起码场景和镜头真实，动作戏中规中矩，没有玄幻！
还蛮有故事的，面孔都很深。里面居然说了句“你妈的，又捅这。”哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，还算蛮有意思的
很有诚意了，其实很用心的讲一个好故事，哪怕故事很简单，用心的去拍一部好电影，哪怕道具很简陋，电影的魂永远是一个好故事。
