Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
The Empty Wake>The Subject>Storm Drain>Terror>Holy Hell
好邪典！第三个故事的主观视角有很强的代入感和悬念感。第一个故事的jump scare着实吓着我了。
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。
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。
太好看了，第四部，比第三部要好很多，前三个支线故事很有意思，第四个支线故事不是太懂其寓意，主线故事前期还好，后期结局感觉崩了。
午夜十二点，观影完毕。没有恐惧，只有反胃！
最后一部录像带真的莫名搞笑，就是说临走前想让大家轻松一下吗
超喜欢这个系列，这个系列的印尼篇都很好看。
将各种恐怖元素粗暴直接地糅合，不同录像带之间看不出有啥联系，割裂感较重，伪纪录片和重口味片爱好者必看吧。
都市传说系列作品，这是系列的第四部，因为模仿94年的纪录片，以及94年的科技水平叫了94.整体番茄酱充足，印尼部分比较超现实。也就猎奇的镜头拉高一定的观看感觉。
整体故事我没联系起来，但是殡仪馆和实验室的那段比较精彩，这种第一视角的游戏类电影还是代入感不错的。
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。
6分。质量不行，几个小故事基本都是猎奇向而不是恐怖向，没什么看点。可能也就印尼疯狂医生那段还不错，各种人和机械的混合设计有点味道。
画面很血腥 但是故事都挺无聊的 守夜那个稍微好一点
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。
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。
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。
看到没有，这TM才是恐怖片！！！
印尼拍的3最好 剩下的粗制滥造 非要加个又闪又跳的录像滤镜太刻意了
喜欢故事3，最后一个故事拖后腿，前几个都有单独成片的故事性。
