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'.

前面还可以，我还以为发现了宝藏电影，到了后面无语，一句话，不是我想象的那么好！
【和K观影】恐怖是真恐怖，感动是真感动，虽然除了主角之外的其他角色线挖掘得不够深，但是瑕不掩瑜。小演员们演技真好，台词也不突兀，robin说为我跑出去那段感动死。（这不比小丑回魂香？！
呜呜呜但是我好喜欢！虽然bug很多，但是男主很可爱！妹妹真的是我的互联网嘴替哈哈哈哈
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
厉害啊boy，超勇啊girl～一点都不变态啊伊桑，愚蠢啊警察与醉酒老爸。。。
剧情一般吧，不恐怖就是中间有几处jump scare，最后用电话爆头那段有被爽到加分。
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…
适合青少年观看的惊悚电影，对于恐怖片爱好者来说就显得较为单调了。
不是特别喜欢超自然的恐怖片。
【6.5】一众角色中妹妹的表演比较灵，伊桑霍克演这角色也不知道图啥，其实也没太大发挥，毕竟大部分时候都带着面具。
又上当了，不是恐怖片是青少年励志片。虽然是r级，但不知道观众里为什么混进了青少年，散场以后在场外摩拳擦掌，作为青少年励志片挺燃的。伊桑霍克戏份少得可怜是没想到的。
为什么帅如伊桑.霍克被扯下面具之后居然会捂住自己的脸？那一般人摘下口罩过后岂不是只有去跳楼？
太有意思了！选角无敌，智商在线！男主身上有犬之力的味道。
鬼既然能凭空移动甚至扔水瓶，那不能趁凶手睡觉干掉他吗？就算不用刀杀，下个药应该没问题吧，感觉这有点败笔
前一晚买票的时候还就只有两个人 今天去看的时候 意外的还挺多人。小演员的演技确实还不错 妹妹好可爱（呜呜呜呜呜呜呜我也想要哥哥）
开头有些King小说的感觉，后面靠通灵解决了问题，包括反派的动机与面具的意义都没说清楚，也不够有说服力。
(6/10)姐弟俩的小演员演得真好。
4.接第二个人的电话一转身吓死我了!!!!!
7分.不恐怖，有几处jump scare展现出了导演的恐怖片功力，但全片其实是一部形式恐怖片、实质校园片，主线其实是一个小男孩在绑架事件之后客服恐惧重获新生的故事，前段文戏过多、后段进展过快以及反派人物的过于脸谱化以及电影定位不准确等问题都导致了此片口碑的两极化，但不得不说的是，小镇惊悚、校园欺凌与通灵元素的结合，是有点新奇的.
虽然套路，但是整体剧情很抓人。最后的反击好爽。兄妹齐心，其利断金。没想到Ethan Hawke已经演变到表演不让看脸了！
