剧情简介
《鬼屋之影》讲述的是什么故事？
《鬼屋之影》 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.
一、《鬼屋之影》是哪一年上映的？
《鬼屋之影》是皮特·沃克于1983年拍摄的一部经典喜剧片。此片开创英国当代喜剧片的先河，《鬼屋之影》上映时票房稳坐前三，创下当年纪录。当时Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing均为最佳主角，Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing以精彩演技和突出形象，奠定在英国影坛地位。Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing饰演角色造型多年后仍为人所模仿。皮特·沃克之前曾被人怀疑其能力，而《鬼屋之影》却奠定皮特·沃克喜剧片风格。《鬼屋之影》首映时曾获海外喜剧片和媒体广泛称誉，被认为其优秀程度，是足以与同时期（指1983年代）英国（英国）优秀喜剧片齐名。
二、被称为喜剧片的开先河之作的《鬼屋之影》，是皮特·沃克最好的作品吗?
从皮特·沃克斩获喜剧片最佳导演 我就觉得这部《鬼屋之影》是他最好的喜剧片。虽然皮特·沃克后来还拍出来了评价特别好的喜剧片，但是《鬼屋之影》是他喜剧片的代表作品。
三、《鬼屋之影》为什么可以成为经典？
提起英国，人们就肯定会说出《鬼屋之影》的名字。这部由皮特·沃克导演，Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing主演的《鬼屋之影》，在当时，真的是成为了一匹黑马，杀出了一条血路，创造了一个奇迹。为何会这么说，我想，就连皮特·沃克导演和Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing，都没想到这部喜剧片会得到这样好的反响。皮特·沃克先生曾说过，这是一群失意的人凑到了一起创作出来的一部作品。因为在《鬼屋之影》开拍之前，Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing已经有几年年无戏可拍，而Vincent Price,Christopher Lee,Peter Cushing主演的喜剧片，票房始终不理想，这样的几个人凑在了一起，也真是缘分！所以，正是这样的失意感和强烈的自尊心，他们在喜剧片中投入的热情，是我们难以想象的，其实《鬼屋之影》中的人物心理历程和感人的剧情，何尝不是现实中他们的真实写照呢？所以，他们怀着一腔心有不甘的英雄气，用他们的实力和人情成就了这部经典喜剧片，也成就了他们自己！
