Details

Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

ada the leading man is my tpye
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Michael Radny There is really nothing to be excited about in V/H/S/2. I had heard mixed reviews on it, and whilst the found footage concept is clichéd at this point, I thought I'd give it a go and hopefully see a glimpse of hope. This was not to be. Besides being long and boring, this film just wasn't scary nor was it interesting. The initial videos seem to set the slow pace for the rest of the film, and whilst there are times where you think something fun will happen, it just fails to be executed.V/H/S/2 is nothing more then an expected disappointment. There is nothing fun, interesting, scary or enjoyable that comes out of this found footage montage, which is a shame. Truly a bad Hollywood cash grabber.
mehmetski in my review to V/H/S i accidentally said that the second part is boring. actually i meant the third one. S-V/H/S is honestly not exactly as creepy as the first film but still pretty fun to watch. the frame story actually makes a little more sense and adds more background to the whole thing than before. i can see why people would be disappointed after watching it in cinema due to the mostly pretty low video quality. but the point of this genre is to deliver the idea that the movies were actually filmed by real people. it should be a nice movie for an evening with friends or even alone, when you want to feel a little suspense, but nothing too frightening.
ericrnolan I loved the first one, and I like the subversive, no-holds-barred tone of the franchise. But I can only give this a 4 out of 10.The first segment had a creative premise; the point-of-view device for the second segment was fantastic. (Why hasn't a zombie filmmaker thought of that before?) But there is just too much bad acting, bad dialogue and annoying shaky-cam, along with some painfully low-budget special effects.I'd recommend viewing only the second segment and skipping the rest. (And even that one isn't exactly high art.)
Sci-FiHorrorFan I liked the film and I found it to be okay and I liked the wrap around in this film more than the one in the first film,I guess I just found this story more interesting it was about two private investigators that are looking for a boy that went missing. The investigators break into his house and find his collection of V/H/S Tapes and they start to watch them. Unlike the first film this one actually made more sense and the stories were better also the characters were better and more likable. Story one was about a man who was having this operation and they put a camera in his eye. I thought the idea of the camera in his eye was interesting but the story was a bit lacking. He goes home and we find out his house is haunted by ghosts but he thinks the eye is making him see these ghosts but it was not because the ghosts were real. The man meets this women they become friends and she tells him the ghosts are real then they work together to try and get rid of the ghosts.Story 2 I liked I thought it was entertaining it was about a man who was a bicycle rider and he rides around in the woods and he encounters a women who was bitten by a zombie,unaware of this he tries to help her and she ends up biting him turning him into a zombie but not before he kills her.a group of others zombies chase after him and the man ends up turning into a zombie from his bite wound and the rest of the story is about all these zombies running around causing mayhem and destruction trying to infect as many people as possible. This short story was one of my favourites and it was entertaining and there were some really good make up effects as well as blood and Gore in this story. Story 3 I liked okay it was a very insane story about a A news crew that infiltrates an Indonesian cult and I must say this story was very bloody and gory and bizarre and people that like bizarre stories will love this one,I found the story entertaining but I did not love it,however I have to give the story a thumbs up for originality it was something different that I'd never seen before,the story has a lot of creepy images in it along with weird creatures. The cultists in this story begin a mass suicide and chaos ensues,the news crew get attacked and they try to escape from the building.I don't want to give away too much but I will say the dark bloody building they were in reminded me of scene in A film called (Jacobs ladder).the hospital scene in that film was just as bizarre as this story. This 3rd story was insane and effectively creepy I have to be honest and admit that,also the story had good make up effects and the creature looked cool.Story 4 would probably be my favourite one it was called (Slumber party Alien Abduction). The story was interesting it was about these kids who put a camera on their dog to create videos.after their parents leave the kids invite some friends over to have some fun. Later their older sisters boyfriend comes over to see her and the kids play pranks on both of them. The laughs soon stop when the kids start to hear loud noises outside,they go downstairs and they soon realise something dangerous is outside and then they see Aliens break into their house and the kids get abducted one by one. The older sister and her brothers run for it and try to escape but they can't see in the dark so they try and hide but everywhere they go the Aliens seem to find them. Whenever the Aliens show up they are shrouded in bright flickering light and I liked the effect. The alien effects also looked good and I liked the way they moved I thought they were creepy looking.I found this last Alien Abduction story fast moving and very intense! especially toward the end when the kids run for it again. After story 4 we get the end Wrap around story with the two investigators which I liked. I have to say the end wrap around here was much better than the one in the first film.I found this Ending wrap around Creepy also I liked the idea of the end wrap around story,it was a good idea they had but I won't give it away instead just watch the film and see it for yourselves. V/H/S 2 was an okay Film with some interesting stories.
