Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Just perfect...
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
As of December 5, 2017, there are 288 IMDb reviews of this film. Almost everything written about V/H/S – the good, the bad and the ugly – is written. So, here may be a unique comment. No, I haven't read every review, but I'm still going forward. Hannah Fierman, who plays Lily, may have bigger eyes then Barbara Steele, "The Queen of All Scream Queens." Steele's most famous appearance is in the Mario Bava Italian Gothic film classic "Black Sunday." Also, is there a count of the number of times the F-word is in V/H/S? A record may be broken!! I wonder if George Romero saw this film? If he did, I'd bet he'd like it.
Well my one big complaint is the camera-work (the "found footage" genre) was making me dizzy. I was so happy at the parts where it became normal instead of jumping all over the place. So if that's going to bother you, you should probably skip it.Not really all that good, more of a collection of weird short stories. It held my interest though. It was good enough to keep my attention to the end. I wish they would have expanded on some of the stories a little more. They could have made it, say, 3 short stories and gave some explanation of what was going on.So, it could have been an 8 if it (a) get rid of the nauseating camera-work (b) expand on some of the short stories and give some background as to "why"? or "what were they doing"? (c) make it longer to give time to give more background. I bet the writers actually didn't know why, they'd have to put a lot more thought into it! Also, parts of it are quite gruesome, so if you don't like that, it would be another reason to skip it. It's not a stupid torture movie though. I don't mind a little gore if there's a reason and story behind it. Also it's not a slasher movie with some guy chasing pretty girls around with a knife. Leave that for the teenagers I guess.
This is no masterpiece by any means. I went into this movie with low expectations, from what I have heard this movie was pretty horrid with not much much horror. Luckily for the film I had some time to kill. So I turned off the lights in my room, got comfortable and turned on the movie. Surprisingly I did not hate this movie as much as I thought I would have. VHS not something you should take serious as a film but, I also don't think its trying that hard to be taken serious either. Throwing my artsy opinions about films away I had a fun time. Check it out you might have an okay time like I did.
I don't consider myself a fan of the found footage genre, but I've seen V/H/S show up on several lists of the best of the genre, so I thought I'd check it out.There's some semblance of story setup (bunch of thugs break into a house to steal a tape, but find a dead body and a bunch of other tapes instead). Then it dives into a series of unrelated short films.In a feature you need a story; in shorts you can get by with a gag. I'm going to give the writers a tip of my hat and admit each of the shorts has an effective gag. Some of the shorts work better than others and some just don't work at all.A few of the shorts feature some head-scratching, WTF moments. There are a couple of scenes that almost threw me out of the movie, but I'm glad I continued to watch.I think the team put most of the film's budget into the last short and it shows. I feel it was the best of the batch. I was going to rate the film a 5 but as I think about it, the effectiveness of that last short warrants a higher mark.If you're a horror fan and/or a found footage fan in particular, you can't go wrong streaming this.
