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.
一开始以为又是一部女权，看到后面才知道升级到了对愚民政治的嘲讽，不过关键转折还是要靠副督察良心发现才能完成，实际可能性很低，看来任何体质都是一样黑暗的，学生永远都是最有革命热情，也最容易被鼓动的群体。
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
悬疑片，合格，不算太好，但，是我们的国产电影无法仰望的高峰。
故事算是一波三折，也有体制批判性，但是法庭辩论的台词感觉乱七八糟，缺乏专业度和逻辑性。
你看到的都是希望让你看到的，要爱惜每一次的情绪动用。
配乐和节奏不大好。但主旨很棒。看到了很多相似的影子
这部剧真的很神奇，尤其是中国发生了唐山事件后，简直是嘲讽至极~
以为又是一个普通的为强奸受害者申冤的故事，没想到还能有这么多反转，律师在法庭上的一次次发问简直振聋发聩，直接将故事升华了。缺点就是警长态度变化太快，那个议员脑子进水了才会去伤害他儿子，直接让他叛变。
反转的让人头皮发麻，两个律师皆是为了正义
其实只值七分多一点，各种反转突兀且套路，音乐和慢镜头毫无增色，同题材的沉默的真相各方面都比它丰满太多。但真的希望这样的题材能多在大陆看到
剧情挺好 就是律师刚出来那段 故意唱反调 而且几处逻辑让看的人想唱反调 这一点有点倒胃口 总的来说反转之处还行
2个小时足够了，根本没必要再搞出那么多人和背景故事出来，把想要抨击的对象编得愚蠢并不是多高明得手段，而且，其实这种片子拍多了反而让人觉得在印度什么都挺儿戏，警察，法律，大学，媒体，公众，政客。。。。
导演问题很大，用力过猛，剧情放现在看也不出彩
不得不承认，阿三和棒子一样敢拍敢放，对本国的政治体制，社会弊端可以批得体无完肤，种姓歧视、教育腐败、政治阴谋、媒体失责、舆论导向、社会不公、权力滥用这些人类社会逃不掉躲不脱的垢病你可以在一部电影里面都看个够。普通的谋杀案可以被政客利用，可以被民众误读，可以被舆论误导，人类的智慧的确就是会利用“工具”，乌合之众永远存在。而法庭上正义律师抽丝剥茧地丝丝入扣地揭开事件的真相这个反转设计得很高级，这让观众的思考可以更加深邃，电影本身的立意与内核顿时提升了一个档次。近3个小时的片子没有歌舞却能让人深陷其中，这相当考验创作方的能力。但阿三和棒子一样，虽然敢于自揭其短，但并不能改变现实，也不能推动社会的进步与发展，西方所推崇人口最多的“民主”国度其实依然摆烂，民众已经麻木，这样的片子出得再多也于事无补。
电影不应该是工具，无论对上面还是对下面来说，但针对眼下现实这几乎是不可避免的
1、后面10分钟，翻转太多了
就是媒体的夸大，但是这时候又深思，虽然说ZZ这种不是凡人能理解的，媒体有坏有好，那么如何在公平的情况下监督媒体，这个也很需要深思一下。
虽只有短短两章，仍如沙漠中的清泉。在漫长岁月后，夏目与田沼似乎进入了成人的惆怅，而妖怪们面对生命的起落与无数转瞬即逝的缘，“心情其实过中年”。
你们一边给韩印两国的尺度电影打着高分 一边埋汰贾科长国外获奖
挺有意思的，讲了很多印度🇮🇳社会问题，反转也蛮精彩的。近来看的最有意思的电影。
