剧情简介：
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.

译文(3): 快速一瞥这部电影的演员阵容，任何恐怖迷都会欣喜若狂。实际的电影并没有达到那些高期望，但它远不是所有的糟糕。小德西·阿纳兹（！）饰演一位作家，他与出版商疯狂地打赌，只要24小时就能写出一部伟大的小说。为了做到这一点，出版商给了他一间废弃的旧房子的钥匙，在那里他不会被打扰。不是真的。一到那里，他就被许多客人打断了，其中包括约翰·卡拉丁（John Carradine）、谢拉·基思（Sheila Keith）、彼得·库欣（Peter Cushing）和文森特·普莱斯（Vincent Price）。他们聚集在那里，举行了一次扭曲的家庭团聚，将他们的兄弟从他被监禁了40年的房间中释放出来。就连克里斯托弗·李（Christopher Lee）也顺道来了，饰演刚买下房子的科里根（Corrigan）。很快，他们意识到这个被关在笼子里的兄弟是为了复仇而逃跑的。
