Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

Boys help boys. 流水账电影。基本没啥细节，反派背景都没交代清楚。
不喜欢男主，骨子里懦弱不暴力，特别是在学校里受欺负不反抗，他妹妹比他坚强聪明多了。
很棒，虽然有超现实的因素，让整个故事变得不太真实。但这一点也是他的优点，让整个故事更流畅，紧凑，每个人的出现，每个人说的话，就像一片片拼图，到最后不多不少，每一部分都有用，看完整部电影，大概就是拼完一块巨型拼图，很爽，恐怖指数三颗星，悬疑指数五颗星，是个很爽的故事。
"Please let the dreams be real!"
预告片剧透全片系列。有装神弄鬼的嫌疑，全靠老式的jump scare，吓人确实是吓人，说年度最佳恐怖片的多半是没怎么看过恐怖片…..勇敢可爱的妹妹、帅气仗义的基友，除了爹不行，男主这真是人生赢家了。BTW这可能是伊桑霍克演的最带劲的角色之一。
两个小孩外加伊桑霍克的演技在线，男孩总是比女孩成熟得晚
作为一部温情向的青春类型恐怖片，又是改编自史蒂芬·金儿子的同名小说的电影，势必会在其中瞥见许多他爹电影的影子。好在德瑞克森没有将致敬用到泛滥，而是在许多小细节处安插了让影迷欣喜的彩蛋。
这部电影告诉我们注重体育运动的重要性，小男孩平时打棒球让他有了强大的臂力，在关键时刻救了他
1.这是“借鉴”了多少部电影?????
第一次在電影院看恐怖片。字幕升起，想著打開手機緩一緩，卻看到了更讓人驚詫不安的現實新聞。現在一個小時過去了，還處於完全appalled的狀態。
3.5 男主和妹妹演得很棒，大人警察都不行，小孩团结勇敢求生途…
跟妹妹也很有爱
恐怖拉满，剧情逻辑经不起细究。 @Cineworld w/ N
真的跟小丑回魂差远了，伊桑霍克这演了一个毫无角色塑造的无脑变态，三星给小演员的演技
看起来还挺爽的，以至于可以让你忽略掉剧情的跳脱和莫名其妙。小演员挺不错的，未来可期。
没预期好，但还是可以一看的，明显感觉到近几年真正优秀的恐怖片少之又少
虽然有kids help kids铺垫，但没吃饱的小男孩最后能干翻凶手，确实也挺离谱。。。但电话搏击练习那段确实也很燃！！！
男主的颜，我简直享受至极！细长眸卷发薄唇高挺鼻梁，微微皱起的眉头～就差一副眼镜了！难得这么符合我审美的男性出现～很享受！不知道他爱不爱机车摇滚和白万，还有野格与白洲……
每一个被害的孩子都为芬尼的成功出逃贡献了一份力量。兄妹俩角色太讨喜了，哥哥坚韧友善，妹妹勇敢机灵，结尾处来自逝去朋友的鼓励与帮助蛮感人的。以及我一直以为杀手是精神分裂二重人格这一挂，没想到是真有个热衷推理的弟弟，某种意义上的反套路吧～
强设定➕弱节奏，让故事有点飘忽，还有看起来似乎没什么必要的亲子关系设定，以及结尾的各种突变，比如Fenn的战斗力，Grabber的心态，父亲的忏悔等等。
