Sorry V/H/S fans but this is baaaaaaad

Yeah not great, i thought the Suicide bid section had a bit of promise until the cgi girl showed up

I'll be checking it out soon along with V/H/S Viral which I never got around to watching.

Reviews for this one are all over the place, quite a few saying it's the worst yet. Many others saying it's better than Viral & 94.

It was alright, just alright lol. I checked out ‘94 and this one is slightly better than that actually. Viral I didn’t care for. But the first two films were great!

Didn't like Shredding and Ozzy's Dungeon much, but the other 3 segments were pretty decent. It seemed like they had a very low budget to work with, given how campy a lot of the effects were. With some better graphics and effects, it would've been much better visually, which is what it mostly fell short on.

Overall, not a bad movie at all. Rating it a generous 6.5 for the other 3 segments alone.

Happy Halloween!

Only have seen the first segment. I get the Jackassery but it’s too obnoxious. The vhs effects were too much, too.

Lol, the “fuck fascist filmmakers” title card or whatever at the beginning was cringey, very junior high. Then the toy soldiers and the band segment… this series has become Nickelodeon horror. The cheap stop motion is very Nick.

The band segment did have some potential and there were some well done aspects. The characterizations of the 8 musicians were just off-putting. The music wasn’t terrible, though, and the makeup effects were good. The story itself didn’t add up to much. Why the hell would Ankur hang out with those cunts, by the way? They should have showed some more moments where they weren’t so shitty to him.

Hopefully it improves but if it does it begs the question: why put the stinker first?

Edited to add: The second one started off spoopy and got creepy. I don’t like enclosed spaces so maybe that’s it but it’s definitely effective. Very satisfying in a Point Horror/Pan way.

This one feels like the creators of the first one let their little brothers play with their toys. All of them have potential but are marred by some annoying characters, graphics, or endings.

The game show one’s ending was just cheap and nonsensical. The morbidly obese woman… not sure what the point of her was. Weirdness for weirdness’ sake, maybe. At least the actress delivered. Speaking of fat women, what was up with the lethargic fat white women in the audience near the black family. I kept expecting her complete non-engagement was gonna be relevant. Was she just a bored extra?

I will say that segment did have the look of the show down pat.

The first segment "Shredding" was probably the worst segment out of all the V/H/S movies. "Suicide bid" and "The Gawkers" both had a lot of potential until the creatures showed up. I was probably most entertained by "ozzy's dungeon" but it felt so out of place for a V/H/S segment. The reason the first movies were so great was the attempt to make them look as if some strange shit was accidently recorded on VHS tapes. They need to take that concept back to the drawing board for the next one. I have some hope for the next one as director David Bruckner is coming back.

Suicide Bid was the only story I liked all the way through. It felt like an '80s slasher film with the "prank gone wrong" element and would be a good feature length movie if they ever want to go that route. I feel like Shredding, Ozzy's Dungeon, and The Gawkers all have good setups and start out good, but go off the rails by the end. To Hell and Back I didn't care for at all and was just ready for the movie to be over by then, but I forced myself to get through it.
