Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
血腥风格还是保留了，但是故事确实没前几部精彩，勉强3星吧
超喜欢这个系列，这个系列的印尼篇都很好看。
作为致命录像带爱好者我竟然今天才知道出了第四部 这还是我昨天看完夜间小屋顺着导演摸过来的 我才发现这味道演的作品我几乎都看过 这部在vhs系列里面太平庸了 有点失望
那个博士改造的人和弗兰肯斯坦的军队里的改造人差不多
刚开始还挺有兴趣的，然后就发现是一小段一小段拼凑起来的故事就很无聊。 人和机器融合还算有点意思。
storm drain>the subject>terror>empty wake>主线，喜欢中间的蔬菜机广告，机械弗兰肯斯坦的概念也不新鲜了但只有这一part情绪是一路往上走的看得非常爽，其他几个故事毛病都差不多（一到结尾就泄气）目前为止依然没有一个能超越vhs2印尼邪教的，不过整体看下来还是很开心的，欢乐的时光特别短暂！
@PIFFF Paris Fantastic Film Festival 鼠人恶趣味十分受用+吸血鬼复仇极端右翼白人kitsch以及brut风格都在兴奋点上
回归粗糙质感的B级片大杂烩，四个故事都很邪性（3>2>4>1)，特别第3个和第2个的氛围营造。
第四个故事可以不看。前面三个临睡前看不困。虽然故事不够新鲜，但cult片嘛，只要番茄酱够多，可以弥补下。
故事不是很新颖，但胜在拍摄手法。有时间把其他几部也看了
好久没看这么“真实”的恐怖片了，过瘾！印尼导演的那部分也真是出彩，很有第一季“爱死机”真人版的感觉。为什么选在94呢，因为那一年是“连上帝都想看电影”的一年吧。
很邪性，对，就是那种精神疯癫边缘的劲劲儿很正，很难得！只是录像带看完会死人这种设定可以改改了。
还是一如既往的晃到头晕的伪纪录片风格。因为设定是94年所以画面老旧模糊不高清这说得过去，故事123都挺不错的，惊悚的氛围感渲染的很好，最后一个故事特别难看，又吵画面又晃也没看懂剧情。总体来说挺不错的
是挺致命的，但录像带好不好看就因人而异了。
太有趣了吧？几个故事都各有千秋，我最喜欢是机器人那个，短短10多分钟能把人性诉说得这么有层次感，赞
虽然第三个故事和另外几个风格有点儿不统一，但是疯狂科学家改造人太cult了，画面清晰度最高反倒感觉最复古，血也舍得给，顽主的台词特别符合观看时的心情：哥们儿就喜欢俗的！老鼠人吸血鬼和守夜人都差不多吧，这个系列还是可以看看的
虽然没有什么深度，仅供寻找刺激和消遣，但从成片的效果来看能感觉到主创的诚意。有些段落虽然老套但还是很有恐怖效果，明明知道会发生什么还是会被吓到。科学怪人和爆炸吸血鬼那两段有点新意，尤其是前者，看得我生理不适，还带出了一些思考，确实不错。总体上可以给到7⃣或8⃣，在今年的恐怖片里算是不错的了。
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。
20211009周六 21:48 都是一场人体变异怪兽秀，无多大惊喜，不过要比第三部好这是肯定的。唯有那个下水道里有种未知恐惧感，结果遇到一群傻逼供养出的鼠人来信仰，这个和吸血鬼那段都有点宗教意味，暴风雨夜守灵遇尸变咬咬咬与变态科学家玩转机械人都麻麻地，最后一个是想拿摄影机过家家吗！
