皮特·沃克在《鬼屋之影》中用阴冷的哥特色调与诡谲的管弦乐,营造出一种既复古又荒诞的恐怖氛围。 要是你偏爱“不吓你一跳、只勾你一笑”的诡奇故事,或是想看老戏骨们用眼神和小动作互相“怼着玩”,这部片子准能让你窝在沙发里,一边抿着茶偷笑,一边忍不住想:镜子后面那堆“麻烦事”,到底是祖先的恶作剧,还是真的没解开的结?。几人表面维持礼貌,暗地里却互相猜忌——有人想找失踪的亲人遗物,有人怀揣着旧信件想求证多年前的火灾真相,还有人似乎对老宅里某间上了锁的阁楼室心动。 ★。 **适合:** 看过他们 Hammer 时期作品想怀旧的人;喜欢《哥特式》那种演员自我消耗的元恐怖喜剧的观众。普莱斯、李和库欣这三位老戏骨同框简直活久见,他们互相飙戏、斗嘴,那种一本正经胡说八道的劲儿太逗了,尤其是普雷斯夸张的肢体语言,隔着屏幕都能感受到他的“戏精”附体。
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.相关搜索:
