Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
粗糙的地下录影带风格，看得挺带感，印尼的那一部单拿出来最好，但风格略显现代，和94的整体基调有些不搭。
以为到第四部会差了，没想到挺惊喜的。主线是一群特种兵进入一个邪教场所，里头都是挖掉眼睛的教众。分线1下水道鼠人，属于比较常规的宗教传染；2殡仪馆死尸复活，这个故事比较刺激，特别当男的头掉下来，我还想不要睁眼啊，果然眼睛看到身体就来抓女主了；3类似人体蜈蚣的科学怪人用人做机器人，是我最喜欢的一个故事，导演是之前那个印尼导演，难怪了，猎奇血腥温情，全部具备；4是美国清洗+吸血鬼，最无感。看评论才理解了电影命名为94的意思。
纯粹感官刺激的短片集。算是四个相对完整的小故事吧，外面再套一个大故事。下水道鼠人，恐怖守灵夜半头尸回魂，疯狂科学家人机混血实验，美国红脖子囚禁吸血鬼但却控制不了自己内心的傻逼念头。大故事是警察追缉这几盘录像带的幕后真相，其中竟然就有录像带炮制者。
血浆是够了，就是晃得人有点头疼，也没什么剧情，第二个守灵堂的故事还挺紧张的，其他的一般
有些许江郎才尽的势头，稍显失望，大招全放前面了，后面越来越不行，应该反过来，这样观感能好很多，这种很有年代的影像质感倒是增添了很多粗砺的恐怖感，以及印尼的故事依旧不错。
影片整体和上一部相比提升巨大
鼠人部分和科教频道中大真探系列里面的“蜥蜴人”有的一拼，甚至还恶搞了九头蛇的口号，创意不错。

致命录像带4：波基普西录像带
还可以，略逊前面几部。
够劲儿但是不恐怖...
都市传说、密室恐怖故事、疯狂科学家、政治狂热份子，一个主线串起四个故事，分段式恐怖片和伪纪录片的结合，虽然很cult，但是这种恐怖故事合集俺还是很爱看的。
剧情：6
印尼科学怪人博士那节真的不错，够劲儿，其他能猜得到剧情进展的纯吓人打咩。和朋友一起看最开心了、全程半遮面挡脸凭借字幕来判断画面可看性
老鼠怪和机器人两集最赞，shudder接管后收敛了好多
依然保持那种录像带画质增加纪实真实感，一个总故事串联四个小故事，还是最喜欢第三个那个实验机器姬视角的，恐怖血腥暴力是主打。
伪纪录片&短片集双厨狂呕。拍的什么玩意儿。还是期待26种死法系列吧。
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）
几个故事都挺无聊的，也就第二个机器人的故事还稍好一点
对这个系列都没太大感觉。就第一盘带子还行，其他的就算了。毫无意义的主线，搞不懂为什么要穿插，领导要求的吗，必须得有是吗？
