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.
第一个故事有怪兽档案感觉。第二丧尸与第四个吸血鬼故事都毫无新意。第三个人机合一故事，血浆够足，够cult。贯穿整个故事的本身是个地下录像带故事。3.5/5
第一个优雅喷硫酸，有点意思，第二个最喜欢找到当初看村上龙ibza的感觉，就是那种有意识而非人的虐感，最后一个磨叽，串联有点多余，整体的死碾基调是我的type
近期的“致命”系列有点多，从致命感应到致命催眠，还是录像带系列最为致命
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。
主线故事缉毒小队去废弃机场抓贩毒团伙，到场后发现是个邪教场地，瘾君子被挖眼死去，电视画面上演出4个支线故事：第一个是女记者霍莉和摄影师杰夫去下水道采访鼠人，结果发现当地牧师和居民奉鼠人为神灵，用鼠人酸性腐蚀黑唾液杀死了杰夫，还使霍莉感染。第二个是殡仪馆的海莉被经理罗纳德安排守灵，结果半个脑袋的死者安德鲁诈尸袭击海莉，使海莉变成丧尸。第三个是疯子医生拿患者做人体实验，将男子、女子改造成半人半机器人，特警闯入杀死医生，男机器人屠杀特警，特警连同女的也要杀，女的杀出血路，前途未卜。第四个是一群激进分子打劫军火库获取武器，要肃清美利坚、重振辉煌，秘密武器就是吸血鬼，将吸血鬼打死获取血液，将其血液注射进宠物体内，在阳光下宠物会爆炸，威力如同炸弹；但吸血鬼死而复活，将激进分子全部咬死。回到主线，两个警花
11/10/21：我到底看了些什么呢？这是一部血淋淋的cult片子。虽然是很原始有点新意，但是一点营养也没有。其它的部分不予置评，但在创意上给3.5星吧。- 新加坡
下水道的故事很完整 守夜让人笑出声 就开始没有耐心看下去了
印尼那段够血腥呵呵，所以想当年这些渣渣排了华！
糊糊的看得我好使劲儿 最喜欢raatma和爆炸吸血鬼
没想到是卖血腥的“恐怖片”，而且血腥出创意了。不推荐给普通人看。
要多拍这种片子，有缺点，不完美，混乱但是贴近真正的自然秩序。
回归到VHS的正常制作水准，比较来看还是第一个故事最有意思。
【2.5】没有印象特别好的短片，但这部至少有起死回生的迹象，全方位地好于上一部《病毒》，且串场线又回到了熟悉的阴宅里的“观看”，给人一种似乎有意要与《病毒》划清界限的幽默感。
《下水道的异形》、《无名男尸》、《印尼特摄版我的机器女友》、《红脖子大战吸血鬼》，我最喜欢的伪纪录片系列从没让我失望，这次还走复古路线了，今年都开始文艺复兴，各种典中典续作层出不穷，VHS也不能落后，可惜结尾有点磕嗨了，导致拍得有点假了
《致命录像带94》★★★，依旧是本系列的一贯风格，不过这次稍显创新，让每个小故事间有了串联。
为了还原录像带效果，加入了过多特效，反而有点繁冗。镜头晃的厉害，前面还行，到后面的故事晃的头晕眼花
什么啊乱七八糟的 感觉还不如3 第四个故事是真喜剧nm 拿吸血鬼的血当生化武器亏你们能想出来
叙事和创意都一脉相承，但败在虎头蛇尾的情节剪接上。
《忍者神龟》前传之老鼠大师融脸神教崛起，守灵夜中邪缝合活尸解体翻生，印尼血浆特摄人体改造赛博新人类大战特警队，美帝红脖革命被吸血鬼延误多年……除了画面做旧外，几个故事议题其实跟94年都没多大联系，所谓复古主要是为了掩饰本集成本太低吧？但回归粗糙质感的B片大杂烩，也挺好
3.5，在这个类型里，其实还算不错了。几个故事都不错，够地下，够带劲。主线那个故事比较拉胯，故弄玄虚，拔高也完全没拔起来。
