Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
镜头选取真是有很独到的地方，但是血腥屠杀的部分又相对比较弱。
看这个片名和海报没太大希望，纯粹冲着A24和性恐怖这几个虐头去的。结果挺惊喜的，竟然可以算最近好片了。70年代B级片腔调很足，虽然剧情本身套路，甚至是各种经典恐怖元素汇总，但就恐怖本身来说，剪辑和刺激后置加反转都蛮有新意滴，加上点到为止的性，杀戮和血腥镜头，吓人吓得很有水平。另外没想到恐怖B级片传统的剥削点在这部新片中还挺有深意，对女性的剥削变成女性性自由口号了，对老年人符号的剥削引申到衰老与青春的互镜，当然其中内涵各花入个眼，甚至会有人反感，同样点到为止。
老人造型太糟糕了。不过拍得还算很讲究的，最后碾压老妇加一星。
老年人表示有被冒犯到，呵，你们也不会年轻太久。
属于藤本树会喜欢的烂电影！有坏女人！还不止一个！
手松四星，看cult自动三观下线，逻辑合理场景构图有想法还带点儿黑色幽默，挺好，以及未麻这是被致敬第几回了？
冲着恐怖的话 和温子仁差了若干个《遗传厄运》
不是很懂女配拿把斧头跑出大门口又立马丢掉的用意。

因为杀人狂是老人的缘故吗？节奏是一种诡异的慢。血腥场面非常乏味，反倒是白天的几个日常画面挺好看，模仿古早欧洲文艺片情调。导演估计想另辟蹊径来着，题材也挺深刻，就是老人的岁数太大了，走路都打颤的身子骨就算还有性欲，也绝对没体力杀那么多人。总体不好看。
总的还算能看的经典套公式电影，得益于其老派的摄影风格、复古流行乐赏、七十年代与生俱来的影像质感和怀旧潮，以及大伙儿对于“性”的态度！
猎奇+重口味，B级爽片，剧本太粗糙，个别镜头还是看得出用心去做的。
老年人性爱也没什么猎奇的，就是很普通的猎杀片
完全没想到女主和老太竟然是一个演员演的！！！化妆和演技都太牛了吧
本以为是想万能钥匙一样，老人偷取年轻人的身体，结果老人居然纯粹只是嫉妒，那么就更令人悲伤了，把全天下的年轻人杀完了，老人的青春也回不来啊。
要不是女主全程半露着奶子，真的很难坚持看下去，黑人那话之天赋异禀，简直叹为观止。
PS Brittany Snow 唱的 Landslide，竟然从恐怖片里有这么一段温柔的歌曲。
恐怖的不是两个老家伙杀人，恐怖的是杀人之前年轻人的寻欢作乐和老人坟墓一般的生活来回切换！一样的背景音乐，两种强烈的情绪反差，快要有阴影了……

not just a fuck up horror picture but about getting older and desire of sex.
