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.
7分，多一星给桑婆的表演。She was only five years old！ 这一段真的把我看哭了。看到flash back的回忆就知道事情没有那么简单，桑婆真是牛逼的女人，演啥是啥。
换做是我也会做同样的事，没有一个父母是不愿意牺牲的
情节比较简单，但编剧可以，通过回忆一层层揭示真相，加上女主表演出众，所以完成度还不错，还是比较感人。不过被劫持时女主自始至终没有明说绑错人了，这点没看到有合理解读，阴暗吗？但后来又用自己身体护送出门，反正没说清楚。7.3/10分
露丝为了自己的妹妹，甘愿坐牢二十载，承受所有不公和白眼，失去工作和爱人，还要遭受受害者家属的报复，露丝身上闪耀着伟大的母爱。
桑婆的表演太让人心碎了，几次落泪都是因为她的演技。故事其实还挺狗血，前面因为一直穿插闪回的剪辑比较破碎，但后半段节奏找回来了。我喜欢这种美国底层人民的生活琐碎，有种夹缝中生存的救赎感。
话说怎么有这么多片子都叫“不可饶恕”啊
剧本很强，律师老婆的态度变化不现实。
姐妹相拥的刹那，一切过去，坚持是否值得？！
除了当事人，其实很难知道事情的全部真相，所以请谨慎评论。
萨德拉·布洛克的演技不输东城梦魇的凯特·温斯莱特，整部剧也足够克制。可惜后面为了救赎，为了达到一个光明的结局，剧情走向太过刻意。
观看过程五味成杂。女性版“海边的曼彻斯特”，女主演技爆棚，光是眼神就能体会出那种有苦不能说，有苦不想说，有苦说不出的无奈。
很多影评人抱怨剧情不合理，可是人家是改编自十年前的获奖英国迷你剧集啊。好吧，里面的好人（律师、鱼工）可能是太好了点，坏人（警察的儿子）确实是太坏了点；但前者并不影响主线剧情，后者则为了突出典型和增加张力，所以都还可以接受。本片最大的反转——女主是主动顶罪的——我也觉得逻辑通顺（妹妹五岁这个年龄非常关键），而且这更加深了“请给回头浪子再一次机会”和无私亲情的两大主题。真要挑毛病，我觉得西雅图中国城及亚裔的形象可以再光辉一些。
这样的电影 太痛苦 极其不适合在疫情时期观看 不不不不我看电影不是为了找虐的
女主角的脸怎了么？
3.5星，前半部分故事有多引人入胜，结尾就有多庸俗潦草
张力十足，拍的跌宕起伏，反转很牛，前面的铺陈一直觉得女主罪有应得，不值得同情，反转后女主的人生是真的悲催。
一度想要放弃，反转后，我感觉一切情有可原了，
女主演技好，导演拍摄节奏也不错，让人想看下去，但是剧情也太…感觉像看了走近科学style的电影就是说。
基调隐忍沉重，结合季默大师配乐，亦姐亦母的救赎之路，桑德拉布洛克的表演很传神。
露丝为了自己的妹妹，甘愿坐牢二十载，承受所有不公和白眼，失去工作和爱人，还要遭受受害者家属的报复，露丝身上闪耀着伟大的母爱。
