Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

smoothtacomann 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.

amkulm While the stories are fairly standard, I'd argue that this is one of the best executions of found footage to ever come from the horror genre, with dynamic, realistic and non overwhelming cinematography and logical justifications for why the characters would bother to have cameras. Worth watching.

LessThanPadraig I find it hard to find to find a good horror film nowadays. Most of them are dull and uninventive, prioritizing jumps and CGI over suspense or story. VHS, while not being a perfect horror film is surprisingly agreeable. I admit, the first segment preluding the first video story was confusing and I considered switching it off, but not for long. Found footage is leaning towards overkill these days, but VHS is a small reminder of how useful it can still be. It's divided into 5 stories respectively:The first story is strong. It builds up good suspense and you genuinely don't know what's going to happen except that it'll be something horrifying. It escalates fast and becomes pretty tense, followed by gory and then just plain terrifying. The monster involved will probably keep you awake at night...The second is different, it's tenser from early on but nowhere near as gory or as horrifying... in fact it's bewildering. A good story but not as strong as the former, although there is a twist that you probably won't see coming.The third is awful. It makes no sense (I'm not sure if it's supposed to) and the attempts at jump scaring in it are weak. I've watched this movie three times and I always switch off during this part and can't really take it in. Dull, like most modern horror films.The fourth is done really well and in a unique way. It holds a bewildering twist, but a good one. Also it has a few cameo jump scares. Arguably the best segment.The fifth plays on some of the strengths of the others. It's tense and jumpy, and not a bad story. The horror element isn't at all dull like the third segment, in fact quite the opposite. The camera is a bit trigger happy with its shakiness but that's a minor criticism. Overall, if you like horror films I can't see why you wouldn't like this one. Most modern examples are dull and poorly written, this one isn't so bad so give it a go if that's your thing.

FountainPen Yes, one reviewer referred to this "movie" as "Total Garbage". He was being extremely kind. This "film" was clearly made by a group of morons, an adolescent pack of individuals who will probably NEVER grow up, who find humour in the lowest common denominator, the basest human functions and thoughts, and derive joy from showing the world (or at least however many people will be unfortunate enough to view this abortion) how asinine they are. The crew and "actors" are not even sufficiently pretentious to be able to demonstrate the slightest understanding of cinematography, plot development, direction... well, you see where I'm heading: straight to the toilet to throw up after the first ten minutes of this Californian offering. There would be more entertainment value in watching someone wash out his or her soiled underpants. I wonder where all these "performers" will be in, say, ten years' time? Wasted with drugs? Begging on the streets? Making a speech in Parliament? You will be better off spending 1.75 hours sleeping, believe me. This "film" is far, far beyond "Total Garbage" ~ that is its one distinction, and I do mean "stink".
