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.

以「戏中戏」的嵌套方式讲述一个惊悚版「呼啸山庄」的故事，前半段略带搞笑，高潮部分一气呵成，最后还有一丝对类型作品的讽刺。Peter Cushing, John Carradine, Christopher Lee, Vincent price群星荟萃。

为三位恐怖片皇帝和恍如隔世的结尾加一星，戏里戏外都是自娱自乐的重聚。Vincent Price, Chistopher Lee和Peter Cushing三个老友开了个怀旧派对，邀来了John Carradine，科学怪人的新娘Elsa Lanchester因病缺席

好好笑又好可爱的小故事诶，难得还充满正能量（？）这样。老李出场就在猜是大boss，哪有那么高大帅气邪恶（？）的路人。结尾聚个餐老文老李互相碧池，库老头在和女士交流顺便围观二狗斗法（？）太好笑了【就真是分工有别，库这个小老头只能承担“water boy”哈哈哈哈哈这吐槽太适合了【不【就剧情来说用horror的形式让作家care也是很独特了，“老房有喜”indeed
