A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

没能把握好电影与伪纪录片的界限，犯了和前两部同样的毛病。Rat man和印尼故事给好评，血腥程度很高，整体来说依旧不如系列第一部，但是好过第二和第三部。
对这一部比较失望😔。四个故事只有人形机器比较有意思，鼠人、守灵夜和吸血鬼武器都很简陋，猎奇有余，理性不足，看不到广义的科学精神，本来每个故事都具备潜在的科学质素。吸血鬼武器里面把吸血鬼的血改进成肉体炸弹令人匪夷所思。贯穿四个故事的第五个故事是最无聊的，原以为要大干一场，结果把观众当猴耍了😓。不过话说回来，背景设定在1994年，整部电影倒确实有那个年代电影的粗糙感，复古迹象很明显。
vhs录像古早画质也没有降低残虐的血腥感，还是很棒。
The Empty Wake>The Subject>Storm Drain>Terror>Holy Hell
伪纪录片。不同的小故事。 每一个故事都有一个人在录像。 恶趣味重口脑洞小故事。
前几部都忘光光，整体一般般，只有故事三的设定还算不错~6.0
哈哈哈这片子每个故事个个人都是神经病
港真其实没必要非得弄个从头串到尾的故事在中间儿做衔接...
这个系列基本成了伪纪录恐怖片的归纳盒，最早几年由《鬼影实录》掀起的伪纪录恐怖片风潮早早落入了沉寂，这个系列却有能成为年货的潜质，成本低口味重的你就可劲造吧。 提莫·塔哈亚托再度施展了自己的极恶口味，可以的。
及格了。故事124都比较简单，但是画质还都对味儿。故事3过于高清，过于依赖电脑特效，连枪火效果都是电脑做的，显得特别廉价，但是还算爽快，有日本cult的风格。
這系列就是這樣，僅止於有趣，但都說不上好看。
变态科学家的故事很nice，鼠人、守夜…太都市鬼故事了。
和3差不多质量，只有一个段落是好的（守灵），其他都不大行，印尼那个感觉过于自嗨到完全格格不入了
喷浆女记者，大凶守夜妞看得真过瘾，本想趁着激动劲儿直接干上5星…机械改造妹和吸血鬼炸弹人的节奏直接喊了cut，因为Dr. 和 Commander 的絮絮叨叨真是破坏节奏，大大削减了故事后半段的爆发快感~用来串故事的主线“工具”剧情，已成可有可无的存在。
但没人愿意看这些啊…
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

稀烂的几个故事，没一个出彩的，也没有伪纪录片应有的真实感
就是特警队的主线录像带没搞明白主题到底是要干嘛，看到女队友准备换衣服还以为要搞黄色结果把队长给杀了。
算是今年看过的电影里面比较好看的了最喜欢第一个ratman的故事，其次是邪恶博士进行人体机械改造（感觉借鉴了弗兰肯斯坦的军团）
