《Qwerty》是一部關(guān)于孤獨(dú)的人的概念及其古怪事跡的電影。我用“人的概念”一詞來說明導(dǎo)演比爾·塞巴斯蒂安和編劇朱麗葉·麥克丹尼爾試圖構(gòu)建的那種類型的電影。佐伊（達(dá)娜·普普金飾）和馬蒂（埃里克·海利飾）的定義很寬泛，為觀眾提供了兩個主角，除了他們獨(dú)立靈感的怪癖之外，他們并沒有太多深度。就像最近廣受好評的《安全沒有保障》一樣，《Qwerty》的角色和結(jié)構(gòu)未能引起共鳴，只不過是一部半生不熟的圣丹斯電影節(jié)圖片的大雜燴。

　　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.
