克拉克（马修柏德利，「酷斯拉」）是纽约电影学院的新鲜人，但他还没开始享受大学生涯就被人骗走了行李和所有财物，正当他走投无路之时，竟意外遇上偷走他财物的混混。为弥补克拉克的损失，那混混为克拉克引荐其叔父萨巴提尼（奥斯卡影帝马龙白兰度，「现代启示录」），希望他能帮克拉克安插个工作。虽然萨巴提尼所从事的〃进口生意〃颇受人质疑，他后来却成了克拉克的良师，教了他许多待人处事的经验。马龙白兰度在本片一反以往的作风改走喜剧路线，和他在其代表作「教父」中柯里昂家族的教父形象大相迳庭。

回复 :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.
