Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
纯正的邪典的味儿，它回来了！鼠人、守灵夜、人机合一、囚禁吸血鬼，依然是印尼那part最佳！21.10.24
为了续集而续集，几个故事之前更没有前几部的贯穿性，越往后越无聊，倦了，累了。
够烂但也够看，尤其是最后一部神神叨叨且画质感人的美国政治狂热分子，和当今的美国人估计也差不多。。。
四个平庸的短篇凑齐来还算不错。《真·鬼影实录》＞《下水道的美人鼠》＞《自爆吸血鬼》＞《赛博疯子的诞生》 其实还是第三部的《平行世界》最cult。（2022.4.27豆瓣6.3分）
其他的part都差点儿意思...
太多机位和镜头剪切把found footage的感觉削没了。
继续录像带风格，机器改造人那个故事讲的不错，最后一个明显在嘲讽red neck，但真心没必要。
太太太太太nb了，改造人故事就像游戏 我爱cult
够疯狂，够血腥，只是结尾稍显老套。四个单元故事里，“义肢狂魔”最精彩，好似第二部里的“魔王降世”，整体的着眼点还是在人对“异化”得恐惧，第四个故事挺鸡肋了，有些冗长，整体还可以
类似于伪纪录片式的讨巧视角，放大了恐怖的效果(就好比恐怖游戏切换从第三人称切为第一人称)
被新鬼影实录伤透了心，还好致命录像带还是内个味倍感欣慰。印尼老师的那个机器人的故事好喜欢啊！有血有肉有情有义，甚至还有一点感动。
其实编排及氛围搞得不错，但导演有些保守了，应该与时俱进，《致命录像》就好，不用非要写实成渣画质的录像带效果！毕竟高清时代，1080p、2k、4k……就连运动相机视频画质基本都可以。而这特意制作的“录像带”效果，真的影响观感。
1=3＞2=4=主线故事，两个不错，三个不太行，所以只能给三星。
【3星半】年度R级类型电影大赏，直接被溶解掉下来的脸皮、半头骨半生状态游走、非法人体机械改造、不死身和堪比小丑回魂那样的开嘴尖牙巨口，世界观和脑洞眼界再一次被奇异猛烈地拓展了，谈不上喜欢但是真的有点东西。
第三个故事虽然有点不切题但是最好看，整体优缺点都挺明显的
整部电影最恐怖的是那条下水道，其余部分不仅不恐怖而且挺搞笑。
又是和上部一样，突然发现出了第四部。整体质量尚可，没感觉哪个故事更好。希望继续拍下去。
【B-】3＞1＞2＞主线＞4，第3个故事不管精彩程度刺激程度还是故事主题的完成度都是本片中最高的，非常希望单独拿出来拍成长片。1讲都市传说也很有趣，2和4完成度太低了，2的氛围做好了但故事有头无尾很莫名，4的政治讽刺做的不错但忽略了怎么把故事讲的有趣，是本片节奏最慢的故事，高潮部分的调度非常混乱，特别减分。主线故事虽然很短但效果拍出来了，相比起4来说还不错。
第一个故事和第三个故事可以专门挑出来看一下，其他的可以直接跳过，这个镜头晃得头晕，虽然知道是伪纪录片，但也不至于这么晃吧。。
执着于普利策的记者和赛博教授的这两段故事很精彩
