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.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
marceluiz First of all, I'm a big fan of these kind of "found footage" movies. I think the first V/H/S was better at not having the amount of cliches that this one has. The first tape had some terrible actors - man, I think I may act better than them. The second tape was a interesting take on the zombie stuff that had its peak at 2012~2013. Third tape, for me, was the best one, really interesting and intriguing story. The last one was the standard ET stuff.I liked the out of tapes story as well - better than the V/H/S 1 one. 6.5/10
deltora34 I gave the first V/H/S a 6/10 and referred to it as very uneven and having more misses than hits. This one, however, is much better and I actually enjoyed a majority of the film.If I were to rate the segments:Tape 49/frame narrative - I never really care for the wrap-around stories in these films. This one was no different, although i did find it better than the wrap-around in the first one. 6/10Phase I Clinical Trials - In my opinion, this is the strongest short in the film. Although one of the others may be more professionally made this is the scariest and my favourite. 9/10A Ride in the Park - A really unique idea that is quite entertaining, but becomes a bit gimmicky and doesn't have a good enough payoff. 7/10Safe Haven - Probably the best segment in terms of film-making, although not as scary as "Phase 1 CLinical Trials" for me. It's the longest, but I was never bored at any point and got pretty freaked out watching it. The ending could have been better, but apart from that it's great. 9/10Slumber Party Alien Abduction - The kids are super annoying. The special effects and sound design and everything are great though. The ending was a bit anti-climactic, but it's still an entertaining watch. 6.5/10
Leofwine_draca V/H/S/ 2 is a modern-day horror anthology featuring eclectic talent from the directors of THE RAID and YOU'RE NEXT amongst others. As with many modern horror anthologies, the emphasis is on outright blood and gore over scares, although there are attempts here to frighten as well as repulse the viewer. There are four tales in all, as well as a mildly diverting wraparound story involving a creepy old house and a VHS collection. Most of the material is shot POV style, which I enjoyed as a fan of the 'found footage' genre.The first tale is a simple riff on THE EYE, as a guy gets a new-fangled optic implant that restores his sight but has the unwanted side effect of allowing him to see spirits at the same time. I love the introduction of the deaf girl with her own twist and this is by far the scariest of the film, with some really jumpy moments. It's all predictable, but that's okay.The second tale is about a cyclist with a Go Pro camera mounted on his helmet. His trip through the woods is interrupted by a zombie attack, and what we get here is unending gore and bloodshed, some of the most gruesome you'll see. It's all pretty distasteful actually, and more than a little pointless.The third story is the Indonesian one, contributed by THE RAID director Gareth Evans; as a huge fan of his films, it was the one I was most looking forward to. Evans doesn't disappoint; this is as intense as his action films, and the madcap plot line involves a doomsday cult and the birth of the Antichrist. It's exceptionally gory, delightfully obscure, and without a doubt the highlight of the whole thing.The fourth and final story is weak by comparison. It tells of an attack by extraterrestrials on a group of redneck characters, who are all really dumb, but there's way too much of the shaky cam here and little real meat to the storyline. The dog is the most interesting character and you can guess what happens to that. V/H/S/ 2 isn't bad at all for fans of gory horror, but aside from the Indonesian segment it's all rather familiar.
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.
