David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
血腥也够惊悚也有，再稍稍加点黑色幽默就已经及格了
机器人那段挺好，是不是预算不够啊只能拍这么一小截
对比前两部，有点保守了。印尼导演给点力啊。
这个系列当故事会看，这部就第三段人体改造的故事比较喜欢。
用录像带的渣画质营造年代感，喜感和恐怖感的结合很难捏合，鼠人完全是艺能人金广发的拍法，呕吐物融化人脸还算有趣，接棒的篇章冗长乏味。
第一次看录像带系列，还蛮喜欢的。摄像头人造人cool，雨夜守灵味道足，吸血鬼的血遇光发生爆炸这种想法真妙。
真的是非常的重口味。机械实验是里面最好的故事。
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。
vhs录像古早画质也没有降低残虐的血腥感，还是很棒。
高于预期。 血腥与惊悚的完美调和，造就了极致的“下饭”体验！ “机械姬”那个故事甚至可以收录在《爱死机》里了。
7分。这部也很棒，伪记录适合这种小故事，地下道鼠人怪诞味道、殡仪馆诈尸、改造人嘎嘎乱杀很牛逼、囚禁吸血鬼的革命者这个比较无聊。
這部電影分為五個故事，其中四個是獨立的，第五個是框架故事，或者說是將它們串聯起來的主線故事。框架故事相對簡單，一支特警隊闖入了一所被一群已死的邪教徒占據的院落。穿插其中的四個小插曲都在框架故事之上。這些短片組合令人印象深刻，足以證明該類型影片的創造力仍然值得稱贊。
形式大于内容的电影，也就第三个故事比较好看，其余挺无聊的。第三个故事还是不错的，也比较高清，果然我很喜欢人体实验疯狂科学家人外杂交黑白两道互杀题材，带着眼镜逃出血腥实验室也太逃生试炼了。录像带过渡的方式奇形怪状。
额 恶趣味 好无聊哦 本来打算认真开 可是这拍得就不认真
第三个真的吓到我了，不过我还是没懂这个和一开始的特警有啥关系？
伪纪录片的形式和题材没有结合的很好，全程都感觉套了一个美图秀秀里的非主流滤镜在拍摄，相比较而言更喜欢疯狂科学家那个故事。
总体差于前两部，但是比第三部好，画面质感加录像合理度都回归了前两部的原装风格，最喜欢前两个鼠人和守夜的录像带，鼠人加入的电视节目放送风格，又有都市怪谈的意思；守夜的氛围营造最优秀，空无一人的灵堂加后面扭曲尸体带来的刺激都很好；第三个印尼故事延续了第二部那个的生猛，但是视觉刺激强不等于好，与整体录像带复古风最不搭；邪教那个倒是很有邪教类纪录片的感觉，但是没什么意思；串场的整体故事最差
恐怖：6
V/H/S 系列真是伪记录越拍越好看的奇葩。
几个故事都有种特别强的既视感。第二个守灵的故事虽然普通但是吓人氛围最足。
