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.
对这部电影来说，“套路”恰恰也是它的一个优点。早几年出来，可能会给满分。
Corny as predicted but still enjoyed it...
umm男主艳福比普天下女子都好到不知哪里去了…相亲那位和黑人男友真的好帅
Nike 和Peter笑起来太好看了，虽然可以猜到剧情发展，不过作为holiday movie，氛围营造的很好。
和圣诞速配一个毛病，剧情走向观众一目了然，导致人设和台词通通无关紧要，通篇想要把糖硬往观众嘴里塞，结果呈现出来的是刻意营造的温馨。圣诞速配的CP因为是真实夫夫，还能稍微嗑一嗑，这对“姐妹变老公”的CP就真的毫无火花可言了。
太尴尬了，而且为什么总是minority tracing a white male ewww
人设和故事那么浪漫的James&Peter be，突然和jm搞上，not convincing
太难看了。网飞是不是以为拍什么用户都照单全收？应季的电影一年比一年难看……全员挤在一起念台词，完全没有剧情可言，没有一个喜剧的演员存在，强行搞笑实在难看。
真好看，很适合圣诞节的氛围。至于很多人吐槽的“姐妹磨B”啥的，真的是一种刻板印象了。
还是去年小K的片好看多了，剧情实在是…… 家庭氛围很好，很合家欢。圣诞季消磨时间还行吧（男主都蛮帅的，gay们果然比直男精致么😂
luck macfarlane太辣，剧情俗，演员浮夸
一切看上去都很美，但又很假（虽然Netflix的圣诞电影都这个d样）。。。我要是有这么多家人对我的私生活指手画脚，我早翻脸了🙄 Mind your own f**king business. 🙄
Luke全程下唇包上唇的装可爱表情简直油腻到仿佛看到通讯录自拍永远抿嘴，就差在字幕里写“我这个角度最好看”了。
哦…也没犯啥错误的詹姆斯…没关系…拜拜就拜拜…下一个更乖。
很欢快但是过不了脑子的圣诞合家欢电影，gay的主题到不是那么重要了
一部Happy ending的电影!太喜欢里面的氛围了!家人朋友,家人的开明与爱 ，朋友的支持与鼓励，安排的对象也衷心祝福与助力，没有复杂的剧情，简简单单的一部圣诞节喜剧片，后悔没有早些看，还有感触最大的就是nick一直的陪伴，9年，从知心好友到爱人，现在的爱情很脆弱，这部电影做到了，世界上需要更多这样的男人！
好烂的剧本… 圣诞合家欢也不能这么无聊吧 and luke真的😍之前夜班医生就好喜欢…
就，圣诞节就需要一些烂俗的剧情！就这样就挺好！
爱有时需要别人推一把，九年友谊还是变了爱情
好美好美的感情啊，看到最后真的是很羡慕。不过闺蜜变情侣，属性怎么选，还是有点意思。剧情要是搬到异性恋上算是比较套路而且乏味了，但在通讯录身上却感觉还是比较有新意的。两位男主的表演一看就很像通讯录（男主应该本来就是），演的也比较真实自然，只可惜詹姆斯了，你也会值得更好的！
