Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
印尼的那个故事不错，而最后一个故事则最闷，前戏铺陈得太过无聊了
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
真的是非常的重口味。机械实验是里面最好的故事。
四个故事恶趣味一脉相承，录像带元概念优秀但不出彩，而且有简化故事结构的嫌疑。故意做旧的粗糙感太过，镜头切换很无厘头。看后兄弟们一致认为3>2>1>4，我个人的顺序是1>2>4>3，有时候越是basic的恐怖故事越令人印象深刻。
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
除了亚裔机器人的比较刺激外，画面剧情都不太行
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
风格回归了该系列的最初两部,并在其中一个故事中加入了科幻朋克元素,虽然串联的主体片段依然过散,好在其他片段保持了基本的水平线.
算是及格的续集片了，依然是恶心+重口味+暴力，伪纪录片真的不想再看了，伤眼睛
第一个，第三个故事是我最喜欢的，第二个故事结尾稍微有点俗套，第四个故事感觉是有隐喻的，但没怎么看懂。致命录像带也算是我伪纪录片的引路人了，可以的话请一直出下去
水准又回来了！这样一看感觉第三部仿佛是外包出去了。故事一氛围营造最佳；故事二最后恐怖但前面冗长，很容易让人忘记；故事三是赛博朋克1994，看完只想说人间有真情；故事四是白皮猪大战吸血鬼，恐怖元素没有喜剧元素多；主线故事最烂，最后说的话有够中二。总结来说第四部没有第二部吓人。
印尼的那个故事不错，而最后一个故事则最闷，前戏铺陈得太过无聊了
虽然这个风格是以粗糙为主，但你这个也太糙了
本以为是部烂片，没想到意外得好看，尤其在今年一堆沉闷又故弄玄虚的惊悚恐怖片中，这部电影让我找到了看恐怖片最初的快乐。几个故事有好有劣，【改造人】最佳，机械义肢改造带来的赛博朋克感，变态医生带来的“弗兰肯斯坦”式的古典惊悚感，以及VR视角带来的爽感交杂在一起，以及对于正常人与恶魔边界的探讨，都拉高了整部电影的格调。【守灵】的恐怖氛围营造得极好，只是故事有些没头没尾。【老鼠人】地下空间带来的神秘感与惊悚氛围，与邪教的内核结合得也很不错。【吸血鬼】的宗教讽刺性强，念着耶稣却制造着魔鬼，还不干人事儿，但是相比其他章节，叙事节奏要拉胯很多。最后一个【致命录像带】的故事最无聊，可以删除。
但凡用点心也不至于想出这么烂的主线和4个无聊至极虎头蛇尾的短篇故事，垃圾
鼠人、诈尸、吸血鬼…土爆了，像极了一部粗制滥造的60年代B级片，一点也不恐怖，只有机械人那段有点意思
这个系列里最不喜欢的一部 偏偏每个故事都很冗长
两星半吧 达不到前两部 但比三要强多了 最后一个故事拉夸 强行搞事情
地下黑作坊剧情够重口……但是整体还是太不知所云了
可以说是血腥录像带，太血腥残暴了，太惨了，反胃，不过这样的片子吧伪记录片的感觉做的还是很好的，特别是变态博士改造人，血腥的杀戮，可悲的人体。
