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.
开头以为是谍战片，看到最后发现原来是爱情片，整个电影以一场对话为线索贯穿始终，借用经典的插叙手法带着观众回顾事情的始末，最后虽揭露出是男主走漏了消息，但他是为了保护女主，这种情节其实还挺老套的，不过作品的整体节奏处理得还算不错，稍微耐心点还是可以坚持看完的
剧情还行，就是这名字翻中文一点也不准确，啥叫宝刀未老？？跑题了
你确定这种题材配这种叙事对劲吗？惊悚tag是给观众的吧。我早在十分钟就有点倦怠了，往后的硬撑都是因为除了看电影也没别的事做。
片子很有大片的氛围，可惜故事稀烂，正如有些人评论的“导演或编剧的价值观很奇葩混乱”。
披着谍战的外衣搞了一个爱情剧，是男人悲哀，还是女人悲哀呢？
开始以为是政治片，看到后面才发现原来是个爱情片。【论沟通的重要性】
倒闭山冷宫太子电视电影二连击，这次，贡献了肉体。
前面得忍住，有点碎，但要认真看，到后面就好看了💁🏼♀️
派派真的好美～但是这部片他就是“去世的白人EX”啊（谁懂这个梗）船戏相当的“坦诚相待”了，派演好男友是很不错但是牛顿姐姐好像有点接不住这深情（这片压根就是扯了个间谍片的外衣拍的人到中年忆当年的女性向soft po*n吧
我需要你的时候你不在，那我还要你干嘛。
一个悲伤的故事徐徐展开，这就是在别国乱搞的下场
讲述的宗旨是什么？情报组织最终一定会灭口？？为了真爱，宁愿牺牲一飞机的人？
配乐还是可以的，以为是谍影重重，竟然是个爱情故事，还是个烂透了的爱情故事。
结果却是看着曾经深爱的男人死在自己面前，男人中了深爱的女人都圈套
一开始看完还以为是女性导演拍摄的，非常的细腻，故事的主线居然是爱情，与我预想的谍战题材不太一样。
整个飞机百来人被两个恋爱脑陪葬了.想拍出最后那一反转的响惊雷般的效果，奈何拍的跟白开水似的平淡。两个特工为了爱情互相牺牲 可以说感动 但也太不专业了吧
相爱相杀的办公室爱情…宝刀未老是怎么翻译来的。看剧情，一点不宝刀，完全各种老。老刀早就锈死了。
旧爱重逢的感觉很好，虽然最后的结局有点暴露，但是我相信这样的爱是真实的，谁都愿意为了爱逃离，但是身不由己，世事弄人，又有什么办法
反正我没看懂最后“高音”是干什么用的，用来杀女主的吗？
一个调查劫机的片子，怎么能拍的这么难看，谈情说爱故事线里插调查也就算了，结尾那个出卖线人的理由简直让人直呼救命…明明是个劫机的电影，恐怖分子却不配有姓名，一个半小时的片长劫机人愣是没出现超过三分钟…2.5
