搞怪的父亲和他温柔美丽的女儿一起生活在广阔的哈萨克斯坦大草原上，日子悠闲而又平静。然而两个年轻男人的到来却打破了这一切，因为他们同时爱上了这位温柔的姑娘。影片将不极致的美丽和强烈的社会意义相结合，讲述了一段错综复杂的情感故事。电影《测试》通过对画面的完美设计表现了影片独特的视觉效果。令人意想不到的是，全片无对白，导演亚历山大·科特(AlexanderKott)以无声来处理影片错乱的结构，以沉默来突出影片暗含的讽刺意义。而正是因为全片无对白观众才会更加关注画面所传达的意义，更会注重镜头的美感。而影片最后的结局完全推翻了观众之前的猜测和想像，让人为之一震。值得一提的是，影片是根据1949年哈萨克斯坦大草原发生的真实事件改编而成，导演亚历山大·科特以其独特的电影手法展现了痴痴等待的宿命。亚历山大·科特曾凭处女作在俄罗斯广受好评，此次他全力制作的《测试》展示了其不可多得的才华和对电影的敏感。

　　The moon rises at a predestined angle and awakens the sleeping Dr. Phibes in 1928, three years after the events of the previous movie. To his dismay, he finds that his house has been demolished and his papyrus scrolls stolen, the scrolls he needs to find the Pharaoh's Tomb in Egypt, where the River of Life flows. After identifying the source of the papyrus theft, he packs and leaves for Egypt with his assistant Vulnavia - whose face displays no effects from the acid shower she received at the end of the previous film (although the character is now played by a different actress, Valli Kemp). His primary goal is the awakening of his dead wife, Victoria.
　　The thieves of Phibes' scrolls suffer an attrition problem as Inspectors Trout and Waverly chase Phibes across the world. The party is led by Beiderbeck (Robert Quarry, best known for playing Count Yorga). Although he looks young, he is several hundred years old and wants to find the River of Life in order to stay alive and be with his lover Diana (Fiona Lewis) forever. This time Phibes' murders all have an Egyptian theme to them; for example, one character is sand-blasted to death. Other deaths include someone being stung to death by scorpions, being eaten by an eagle (in the original script impaled by a gold eagle in the same way a doctor in The Abominable Dr. Phibes was impaled by a golden unicorn), and a golden snake piercing someone's skull.
　　At the climax, Beiderbeck sacrifices his life in order to save Diana. The film ends with Phibes riding a raft down the River of Life with Victoria, while singing "Over the Rainbow" (which is strange, as this film is set in 1928 but "Over The Rainbow" wasn't written until 1938). It is left ambiguous whether Victoria is resurrected or not, although a picture inside the DVD shows her in the raft with her eyes open and smiling at the camera
