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.
斯皮尔伯格很“完美”的拍完了这个故事 极高的调度水准 完成度无法挑剔 只是这个故事本身似乎已经落后于时代了 感慨在hk影院停业前的最后一天 也是它上映的第一天 就该冲了 当初大银幕看到预告的画面质感真的很棒
男主真的太丑了太丑了太丑了！即使知道他性格幽默且有男主buff加成也无法继续直视他的脸🆘
男人之间的剑拔弩张，collateral damage都是女人在承受。
咋说呢，我知道这是改编罗密欧和朱丽叶，也知道这是斯皮尔伯格，也知道他画面气氛选角都不差。我知道这才是现实，但这价值观还是看的我要窒息了
Jian Yang都能和Nina组CP了……我就不明白为什么2021年了，网恋奔现前就不能先视个频吗？
政治正确终于到了华人身上我很欣慰，石破天荒，但是这个也太难让人相信了……毕竟男主的脸也太寒碜……尤其是那个羽绒服和发型，我死了……
群舞场面的顶级调度提高了电影观赏性，但毫无魅力的俩主角拉低了电影的观赏性，镜头一靠近俩主角的脸我都呆了，怎么做到这么丑的？不得不怀疑史匹堡是被逼着让这个傻大个演罗密欧的，因为他尽情凸显Riff演员的魅力来无情吊打男主角。PS：本届奥斯卡排名：健>沙>甘>犬>驾，其他随意吧
有一点，对道德感更严的中国观众来说难以接受，那就是在哥哥死后，玛利亚的“表示”力度不够，仅仅骂两句东尼是不够的，而她也更不应该用上床的方式去安慰他。另外就是当哥哥的女友回到家，她不该用步步紧逼的姿态来表现自己和东尼之间的爱情，那只会让观众觉得她无情残酷，为了爱情抛弃亲情（虽然其本意是爱情高于一切，嫂子之所以答应她也是因为两人在对爱情的态度上达成一致）
一开始很惊艳，调色打光、摄影、场面调度是一级的，但剧本和男女主之间的火花都无法匹配上述硬件，以至于整个故事作为电影挺食之无味。
我觉得拍的不比悲惨世界差吧，怎么评分这么低。男主确实有点拉胯，女孩搏了命演了，但还是不来电～
不得不承认，这部电影豆瓣给分低是有原因的。我的友邻给分更低，也是正常。
2.7/这种伪鸡汤还是骗不到人的 妮娜反着长也不可能…但还是被真爱至上的纸板桥段戳到
和京剧一样，欣赏不来。 把一句很简短的话拉着长音唱出来，有点浪费生命。
莎翁剧底本，牛逼的调度，文化的缩影
没看过舞台剧和61版，但这个版本的歌舞已经足够出色了
多少年没看过这么无语的剧情了…男主太劝退了
Having the leading actor looking like Jimmy, I really don’t know what to think and what to feel. This is so odd. Is this progress? I am so confused. #颜狗的困惑
比1961年电影版好一点。歌舞场景很漂亮，最有魅力的角色依然是Anita。这一版的Riff表演得很精彩，演员非常帅。改编增加了几个场景，故事背景设置在拆迁在即的Lincoln Square贫民窟，在警察局唱《Gee, Officer Krupke》更幽默和讽刺，男女主约会的地点The Met Cloisters太美了。但是情节和原版区别不大，男女主的故事线一如既往的烂。不喜欢莫名其妙的爱情故事，很难理解男女主所谓的爱情，这个年代已经不吃《罗密欧与朱丽叶》这一套了。
其实也还行，无论是导演、卡司，还是视听语言调度，和1961年的电影版相比都得到了升级。然而，就算导演再会拍，演员们演得再给力，这也无法掩盖这电影的本质：这世上大多数的一见钟情，更多的是见色起意，这不过又是另一部白人视角下的《苏丝黄的世界》而已。也因此，让Ansel Elgort这个Rapist、欧美吴X凡来演男主也就不奇怪了。🙄
爱和生命是一码事的陈词滥调。镜头语言丰富但无力回天。瑞秋和迈克的嗓音对其他人简直是降维打击……
