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.
其实不是很喜欢加菲，说不上来的感觉，不算喜欢，也不讨厌。看了乔纳森的照片，两个的相貌，还是有许多相像之处的。
论游泳的重要性；叙述挺有意思，剪辑手法让故事生动有趣，节奏流畅。3.5
有趣，可爱，伤痛但幸福。竟然有几个镜头可以和lll联动，梦回加菲石头cp（dbq，我走偏了
我大概是对音乐剧电影免疫了，影评人评价这么好的电影也没觉得多好看😅。上次给我惊喜的音乐剧电影还是《巴黎小情歌》，可以看20遍。
音量逐渐推高，情绪越来越浓，唱的是生活的琐碎，歌的是生命的长度。每一个音符都在细数时间，每一个音调都饱含着对生活的热爱。不论朋友、爱人，失落、迷惘，都是灵感的来源，让自己疯魔，铸就为一个艺术家。当最后来了一个call back，结合到真实的人物，一阵眼泪感叹世事无常。
临近年底，好片如潮。我被《倒数时刻》深深击中！
应该是真正完结的时候到了，所以想着给每个人都有着好的归宿，即便这部拍的太过紧凑、过满了点，但作为告别而言，我还是欣然接受并且喜爱它。
每一个演员都唱功了得。独白部分都很赞。最喜欢的三首歌是Boho、Sunday和come to your senses。估计没人能对它们说不吧。
用剧作者自己的音乐剧来拍音乐剧传记片实在是再适合不过了。Jonathan的天赋是无可比拟的，他的悲剧为Rent更是蒙上一丝传奇色彩。加菲的表演有功无过，尽管唱功跟专业歌手比还是差了点。影片里能看到不少之后Rent的影子，比如What You Own，La Vie Bohème等等。对Sunday in the Park with George的致敬也很妙，还有很多惊喜客串（林漫威，Hadestown里饰演Hermes的André De Shields，Hamilton饰演大姐二姐的Renée Elise Goldsberry和Phillipa Soo，还有Helen Mirren）。整体而言十分动人，旁边的观众几度都要落泪了。
时光流转，看唐2时的心境变化很难用言语形容。有爱，有不舍。就此结局，挺好。
"It's 30/90, why can't you stay at 29, hell."
好处一是没有做成一个串讲，而是截取了一周的时间来映照一生，二是ttm原本是带有自传性质的作品，音乐是参与了叙事的，缺点大概还是四平八稳甚至俗不可耐，电影感不够，舞台和电影有剥离感，说到底还是想唱就唱，mv串烧，而且不知是刻意为之还是力所不逮，淡化了社会和时代背景。但作为导演处女作和音乐片，已经值得肯定了，观感流畅，节奏好，对于主角本人的指摘我觉得也恰是优点之一，就是呈现出了创作者的自我、偏执、孤独和痛苦，也是他的才华所在和灵感来源，呈现了舞台的高不可攀又触手可及，艺术家的孤独和爱，we all leave with an unfinished song. 加菲太好了！
大小姐老公亨利没出现真是可惜了，不如第一部，但是对于粉丝还是蛮友好的，更像是交待大家结局的完结篇，奶奶永远是我最喜欢的角色🥹
还是要给五星，从16年刚开始“学英语”到现在也已经过去六年，big house人来人往，婚礼与葬礼同一天举行，新生与故去往复交替，就当它是时光怜爱下不经意留下的童话，当你刻意偏头看它一眼，就如撇去浮沫般悄然离开。
近年来为数不多的好歌舞片之一 加菲卖力卖唱 LMM delivers a stellar show (okay I do wonder how much breaking the fourth wall with musical numbers makes this piece less of a film)
要歌舞有歌舞要节奏有节奏要故事有故事要感动有感动。创作者对自己的掏空和压榨，永远震撼
有的时候你离梦想真的只差一点点。改编得非常动人，形式不算新颖，但基本上把百老汇能带给人的观感在银幕上呈现出来，好几处的音乐真的能把人的情绪推到极致。加菲真的是多才多艺！
剧情一般，演员长相一般，歌曲也不好听，等了2个小时，一直在等一首抓耳的歌，结果也没等到，不知道为啥这么高的分。
但是没有看过剧的会很迷茫。
几乎要4.5星！ “接下来我要怎么做？ ”“开始写下一部，孩子。 ”
