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.
狠狠喜欢广东的人文和美食🥲那种简单单纯的感觉真的， 很温暖很特别。但是感觉有些台词很尬🥲
嗯，很多场景历历在目，也好想再去一次潮汕，似乎一切也没那么神秘。
2017年跟导演阿狼（蓝鸿春）在深圳开过一个策划会，几年过去，已经拍了两部院线电影了，真心佩服！
奶奶问：知道怎么洞房吗？要不要我教你？要脱裤子知道吧——笑了要死
结尾飞机起飞时，第一次坐飞机的妈妈转头问儿子：你妈是不是很没用？一瞬间戳中我，这似乎也是我妈妈会问我的问题，好心疼会这样问的妈妈们。
妈妈不同意，马上就天都塌了。妈妈又同意，马上又阳光明媚。😓😓
拍出了潮汕风味，片中有不少尴尬的地方，不过中后段渐入佳境。对母亲与奶奶刻画精准，配乐契合，妈妈独自站在档口前失落、泽凯站在海边既打不通妈妈电话又不打通静珊电话这段直接让我破防了。巧妙将采访一分为二，前半段表现恋情恩爱与汕头生活气，延后给出的后半段引发剧情转折，后接红毛后生仔的报道既调节了影片节奏又增强了情节的真实感。机场路上的闪回用女友的视角再次展示潮汕行的经历，高级！哥哥阳台上看着妈妈与弟弟，情侣的表情包对话，母子俩机场中的相互倚靠，母亲坐飞机的“实拍”，灵的。
太潮汕生活了。 感觉不是看电视 而是在看自己回家的记忆。
对于潮汕家庭还有邻里亲朋的描写刻画好鲜活，想家了。情与爱部分就…不说了吧。0118二刷开心，潮汕话三丙帝都考卷
男主稍微有点弱，尤其是分手的时候明明哭成狗还要耍帅，哎。。
潮汕话怎么有股东南亚的味道哈哈。
一位女黑人，一句“斯密达”，一把潮汕话，将种族问题、朝鲜局势、潮汕文化糅合得那么自然，大陆爱情片自惭形秽。
真实又可爱。明明是很让人窒息的传统环境，拍出了清新幽默，分手吵架复合，都像是点缀生活的葡萄干
味道过于纯正！很完整的情节片，完全听不懂潮汕话的人也能有乐趣。对于想了解潮汕风土人情的人来说更是很值得一看，这就是现当代的潮阳风味。恰好，对于潮阳人来说，当然更是难得，有真，本人口音的片子。我们熟悉的演员和主持人，我们熟悉的妈妈的讲话八卦方式。啊潮阳人认证，这个味道醇。
3.5星，片名不如改为《潮汕爱情故事》，你温柔善良会照顾人有颜有事业，但是你离过婚就是原罪，这点实在是太真实了，如果不是女主足够优秀，我想在现实中妈妈最后压根不会转变固执的观念吧
泽凯妈对“外省再婚女”珊珊的抵触，似乎是潮汕人浓烈的宗族与本地意识的集中外化。语言的阻塞，制造心灵的隔膜。城市对小镇的同化，外语对方言的遗忘，又现几分文化忧患。而其本质，无非是封闭与自洽的空间生态，在面向无法掌控世界的极端畏惧与不安全感。而最终的和解，多少沾上些“延续香火”的妥协。
不少设置还是过于刻意，比如机场手机没电等等。珊珊可能是角色的问题，非常符号化，这样一个女二号戏份的角色层次感少了，好在妈妈女一是非常棒的，小舅也是亮点。但是作为电影里面把太多重复的镜头当闪回实在不合适。整部作品谈不上现实主义，里面的核心问题就是婚姻，根本就没有剖析到位，现实里哪有那么容易的和解。音乐加一星。
除此之外，还具有几分纪录片的真实鲜活和漫不经心。
真的好，整个节奏，叙事结构，演员的表演，配乐，喜剧上对预期的打破都把握得很到位。
