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.
是优秀的作品，但不是我会喜欢的音乐剧。里面从舞台后方向前拍的段落挺意外的。
911事件本身是一个悲剧，之后发生的一连串事件也是悲剧。但是发生岛上的一切是真挚的，美好的，友善的。这在911发生的20年后，在疫情时代尤为重要。群像真的特别好，脸盲症都能把大家同时饰演的角色认出来，探讨的内容也很多样，面对穆斯林问题也不回避。演员们真的好厉害啊！
可以说是 more than perfect
泪流满面，太久没看音乐剧了，心跳加速，想念可以去剧院看引进剧的日子
感觉一般般吧，只有welcome to the rock比较好听。没有hamilton的前半部分好看。三星半
后半段很棒。所有演员的功底都超扎实。喜欢机长的Solo
女飞的自述也很有力量，演员功底很棒
女机长超酷那段solo讲自己如何在1986成为全美第一个女机长的时候 眼里就有星星
人类永远的命运共同体。爱与包容是黑暗中的光明会指引我们到底新的彼岸。疫情之后再看感受更深，我相信人性的善与美好会驱散心中的恶与隐瞒，这不就是人性之光嘛。
我太佩服这部音乐剧的编排了，明明每个演员都在一人分饰多角，但全靠编排调度，让观众丝毫不会迷惑。最喜欢女机长的自白，人生可不就是一个接着一个的suddenly吗？
一群高矮胖瘦、黑、白、有色，看上去就是日常中极其普通的中老年人，在舞台上又唱又跳整出一台戏，突然想起在自家小区楼下，看跳广场舞的大爷大妈们。感觉哪里怪怪的……
But we also commemorate what we found.
作为音乐剧倒是没有给我印象特别深的歌曲（机长姐姐的Me and the sky好听！），剧情也比较一般，主要是当年的真实事件很令人感动。在灾难面前，人们确实没办法忍受一直看新闻，而是会想在自己有资源的时候互相帮助，这是不分种族性向甚至动物权益的（穆斯林在那之后确实备受影响）。
“Tonight we honor what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”闪烁人性美的群像音乐剧。
去年初在现场看的时候就又哭又笑的，正值9·11二十周年，官摄上线，重温一遍我又是暴风哭泣。 这是一部相当优秀的群像剧，演员没有什么短板，剧情张弛有度，配乐和配器也很有意思。这群陌生人的相遇，虽说是因为一场改变了世界的悲剧，但却开出了善良温情的花。🥺
“Tonight we honor what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”闪烁人性美的群像音乐剧。
在豆瓣的冷门榜单里面看到了这部电影（话剧或音乐剧）。随手打开，结果一下子就看进去了，并一口气看完了，虽然没经历那个至暗时刻，但只要了解大的背景，就能一下子带入那个场景，投入这个剧情。
甘德的故事大概就是地球村的美好幻想吧
遗憾因为这个该死的疫情没能看上巡演，希望世界尽快恢复正常。
太太太好看了
