As is often the case for me, the success of an anthology movie hinges upon it's ability to convincingly tie the individual stories together, if this cannot be done, then each story needs to be independently good."V/H/S" doesn't really fit either of those criteria, but a couple of these stories might have been better off as features.

Good, but the version I saw was one of those pirated copies where the guy snuck a camera into the theater. That lessened the quality, but then also, he would occasionally pick the camera up and pan around the theater until eventually somebody stabbed him.

A merge of two horror sub-genres - horror anthology and "found footage" - that I think worked fairly well. If you enjoy this one, a sequel is on the way (S-V/H/S). Depending on the success of this new franchise, maybe Asylum will produce "Betamax" in the near future.

As a fan of the found footage subgenre, I had a pretty good time with this. It's not scary, but effectively creepy at times. Some creative ways around the 'why are they holding the camera all the time?' issue, and a few of the shorts have decent twists.

Some quite promising horror auteurs get together to make an anthology film. Little did they know what... You know the rest. I want to like this, some of the installments ("Amateur Night" especially) are quite indecent, and I love that it goes all out, keeping it simple and old-school. These guys take their horror serously. But it's overlong, while not taking time to use its ideas; it comes across more like sketches of horror movies they'd like to make someday if they could be bothered.

Not nearly as good as I had hoped. As with a lot of anthologies some of the stories feel a little too rushed and some of them just aren't very suspenseful or scary. A couple segments (killer in the forest, haunted house) are astounding, whereas the creepy girl segment is okay and the roadtrip and skype ones are better in theory than execution. I liked it but I'd never say I loved it, some cool ideas and one of the better found footage movies for sure.

I like a good horror anthology movie, and this had been on my radar for a long time because most of the directors involved have gone on to make even better movies. There really wasn't any segment that I hated here, and each one has at least a spark of a great idea. My biggest complaint is that the video glitching effects could get VERY annoying, especially in the segment where video glitches were part of the premise. Just utterly obnoxious noise.

I suspect opinions will vary depending on tolerance for the uglier, more abrasive aspect of found footage tropes – the camera work and image quality is far more horrific than anything in the tales themselves; given the framing device makes little sense, and the segments themselves don’t lock together and are largely inconclusive, it makes it difficult to become invested in the goings on. First segment with a wonderfully creepy turn from Fierman is the best.

The framing device is funny given how nobody notices the bathroom breaks. The first story is funny all the way through. The second has a cool, rare, idea for the villain but it's a little boring. The third one would have been scary if not for the Three Stooges antics. The fourth one is scary up until it isn't. The fifth one is by far the best and the only one that seems to be trying to have a point, but I must say that the alternative ending I read about would have been more up my alley.

Found footage -things are for a specific taste and I've always had a thing for that genre. Usually, it's not very well done, and V/H/S does have the camera being way too shaky a lot of the time. As far as the stories go, some are clearly better than others. I liked the last haunted house story with its crazy imagery, as well as the bit about the guys scoring some girls at the bar. The scary level is not very high, but at least the stories are mostly enjoyable despite some weaker ones in there.

A found footage anthology spanning several mediums should be a veritable playground for horror filmmakers, but given the horror website origins of this I guess I shouldn't be surprised it revels in lame shocks and twists over any sense of tension. There's also tons of skeevy misogyny for seemingly no reason, to the point that you start to question what the directors' priorities were.

The collections got scarier and scarier, but still weren't as truly horrifying as I had thought. A lot of the characters were obnoxious and entirely unbelievable, and I couldn't help yelling at them to get out the door, or to stand up, or basically act like you fucking should in that situation. I don't normally do that, and I'm assuming it was a result of the first person perspective used.

I mean...the individual stories are lacking in actual, well, story, but they're interesting enough. I admire the concept and the fact that each segment has its own director to deliver its own unique touch, but...found footage in the end feels very repetitive. Certainly better than Blair Witch but not as interesting as Marble Hornets.

The sum of its parts saved this from being a total disaster. Some of the shorts were pretty good but the "found footage" concept is now a tired tripe. The problem is that it doesn't really work as a feature length film because you show these shorts together for what purpose? The result was some random burgle attempt to find these VHS tapes which they HAD to watch? Please.

Fun for those with an appreciation for horror. The anthology format means none of the stories overstay their welcome which is a positive when some are weaker than others. However the framing narrative, which is itself weak, means that every story starts similarly which becomes repetitive. Still, while you often know what's coming, the suspense is frequently fun and a few scenes here and there made this worth watching.

V/H/S is one of my favourite found footage films. The shorts manage to be creepy and interesting and even in those I'm not that of a fan can be found good. My favourite short films are the first, the third and the fourth one. One particular thing I don't like is that the frame narrative feels sorta week. That said though it is still a great film.

Far, far better than I expected. I have always felt the idea behind found footage films is no less valid than any other, and that its relatively low budget and creative requirements are what have led to it being such a trashy genre, rather than any inherent fault. I think VHS is a great entry not because it traverses any of these issues, but because it embraces and optimises the DIY nature of these films in a way that leads, to state it in the simplest way possible, to a very entertaining film.

Mostly this just gave me a headache. The girl in the first segment was really pretty though (before she ate the dudes), Swanberg's was actually kind of creepy and effective, Ti West seems continually disinterested in actually making horror apart from a "shock" ending (i'd kind of like to see him make a real drama though), the rest was bullshit...

I didn't watch any new horror films for a while, and it appears I missed whole new micro-genre known as mumblegore. Whoever came up with this name deserves a candy! It's found footage horror anthology, and that's all there is to it. The bunch that made it are regulars at film festivals, but indie cred doesn't change much. Some gory scenes were really unpleasant.

Some cool ideas and a few unsettling moments, but mostly just shaky-cam and "corrupted" video as a substitute for actual tension. The fact that it was a bunch of smaller vignettes helped because once you started getting sick of a story/character it would wrap up and switch to a different one. All in all, it's better than most low-budget horror, but it's nothing groundbreaking.

The fourth and final segments are the best, with the first coming very close. Third has an interesting conceit, but it's left wanting in the execution, and the second just felt largely bland relative to the rest. The frame creates a creepy atmosphere, but it isn't on the same level as most of the actual shorts. Also, while it's not out of place, the dialogue gets hard to hear at points, which can be a bother. But overall, it's fun, and it ends strong enough to leave a good impression.

The framing device is pretty weak, but most of the segments - save that webcam one, which I didn't much care for - were a lot of fun, especially Amateur Night, which might be the first date-rape revenge film. I'm normally not very enthusiastic about found footage, mainly because I find the conceit silly on its face - so it's a lot easier to buy when the stories are short and sweet. This is probably my favorite of the genre.

David Bruckner's short is by far the best and starts the anthology off with a bang, but then each subsequent short gets worse and worse in quality until you just want the thing to end. The framing narrative is also poor. I'll probably watch V/H/S 2 since there were glimpses of quality here, but overall I'd say it's mostly disappointing.

As it tackles subgenres with an attractive amateurish sense of discovery, V/H/S looks just pale -- we know in most of horror films women are either evil or bitches, but, guys, why so many tits in here? Radio Silence's is the best -- and not because it didn't show bare breasts. I expected more from West's stalker story and Swanberg's Skype material and the Blair Witch-y remake is pretty lame. The first is kind of cool -- and still misogynist, though -- and the frame narrative barely clicked.

Moderately watchable reimagining of the postmodern horror genre. The usual benefits and drawbacks of the POV camera are all present (why has that technique become so entrenched in the genre?), although pleasingly most of the short stories do have a redeeming element of originality or a twist which takes them into the supernatural realm. 2 hours of damaged home video quality footage is a tough sell, presumably all in the name of art.

Personally, I love found footage horror when it is done correctly; V/H/S brilliantly combines simple but content-rich short story narratives with the brutally effective and very precise camera work. Not all the segments are perhaps that enthralling but when the frame narrative is as spell-binding as it is I can live down the two segments that let me down. Personally, I would go so far as to couple this with The Poughkeepsie Tapes and label them as essential modern found footage horror films.

There were only a couple stories which made me feel scared rather than ashamed. Some of it felt more like simulated snuff than horror. I hate referencing Guinea Pig so much in my reviews because it really is a piece of shit, but I got that shitty Guinea Pig feeling from some of these vignettes. That being said, the Halloween party episode was a watershed moment for the found footage genre.

Great fun with a strong thematic link between all the found-footage style horror shorts. Most have a few jump scares, a few moments of dread building up, sometimes brilliant effects and a great exploration of misogyny and male gaze in horror cinema - much of the film seems to actively deconstruct this - the "good guys" are all horrible and the bad guys wreak havoc upon them, providing us with both catharsis when the nasty stuff happens but also just enough horror to feel bad when it does.

I recently came across Marble Hornets on Youtube, and this movie pales in comparison to it. Why spend money to watch this when you can get better scares in an identical format, of equal quality, but with an actual story and a much longer run time (which is good, IMO). Plus, there is a large amount of unnecessary nudity that made me uncomfortable, but I guess figuring the movie that it was in, it wasn't exactly out of place because of how pointless it all was anyway. However, some were unique.

Tho it was a bit incoherent at times ( i think it was meant to be though...) , this low budget amateurish horror flick plays out well. The acting is decent, script quite clever, directing is fine and the pacing is excellent. I was drawn in right away and never are bored for one second..Thought it was going to be mediocre (6 ish at best,tho it has one kick ass cover!!!) but i was pleasantly surprised! A definite recommendation of any fan of (low budget) horror!

i quite liked this anthology of horror. It was genuinely creepy and somewhat gritty. I didnt really follow the whole wrap around story it was kind of hard to follow but each story was pretty good especially the one with the weird big eyed chick. Since its filmed from and POV style the nude scenes were pretty awkward to watch with the girlfriend but whatever its still good stuff.

An intriguing look into found-footage films, in the style of a horror anthology (seriously, we need more of these). There is a weak section or two, but overall it is amazing at how well the shorts (by several different directors) gel together. Not my favorite film by any means, but one that will have you thinking well past when the film ends.

A decent little anthology of found-footage horror tales. 3/5 of the shorts are actually pretty cool, so 60 seems like a fair rating. (For those keeping score at home: the first, second and fifth stories were the good ones, and the first one was the best. The third and fourth were pretty forgettable). Fair warning: nearly two hours of shaky cam may cause motion sickness.

And I thought Paranormal Activity was boring! This is just a collection of amateurish, cliched and supposed-to-be-scary videos. It's quite an achievement if a film can make me feel bored even though there is a hot vampire chick devouring people on the screen.

It's just several unrelated youtube vlogs with nothing scary between them. The directing is nonexistent and the dialogue consists of people yelling "dude what the fuck" and "oh my god bro" over and over again. If this is seriously the best the horror genre currently has to offer, as someone claimed, then why even bother.

Pretty enjoyable found footage horror anthology. I particularly liked "Amateur Night," "Second Honeymoon," and "10/31/98."

I'm a sucker for horror anthologies, and this one stands somewhere in the middle tier. While only about half of the segments I'd consider "good", Ti West's alone makes this a memorable movie.

I think horror works better in short films, so anthologies like this always pique my interest, and this had some of the most creative use of the found footage technique I've seen. Most of the segments were pretty good, though Tuesday the 17th felt really clunky and kind of slowed everything down. 10/31/98 was really good but the ending felt tonally inconsistent with the rest of the shorts, which I guess is the result of the directors not working off of a central theme. Amateur Night owned.

It feels weird saying I "enjoyed" a film this nauseating and harrowing to actually watch, but it more than achieved what it set out to do. It took me quite a while to adjust and get into the film's mindset, so much so that I actually felt physically ill at the shaky-cam and VHS "tracking lines" and other artifacts. But when it hit its stride it definitely paid off.

V/H/S is greater than the sum of its parts. While 2/5 of the films in V/H/S may not be as good as the rest, they definitely aren't bad in their own right.

This package of found footage horror has its ups and downs. First of all, I must say that the casting of girls was superb for a horror film. yowza. The setups for some of the short films were also very intriguing. The stuff I hated about this movie was the ultra shaky camera work that makes the Blair Witch Project look like it was filmed with a steady cam. Also there was no real way of tying these movies together and had a super lame ending that pretty much ruined the experience.

not as good as I had hoped it would be. Most memorable tapes: Skype, Honeymoon. Last tape was pretty cool too, reminded me of House of Leaves. There were great ideas in here but for some reason most of them lacked that extra spark that would push it over the edge...

Ocena moze delikatnie na wyrost, ale po seansie film pozostawia naprawde dobre wrazenie. Kilka historii bardzo dobrych, kilka srednich (zwlaszcza te z pierwszej polowy). Warto zobaczyc. Dla milosnikow gatunku.

It's like a more updated and twisted version of Tales from the Darkside. The premise of stumbling upon a trove of horrific vhs tapes is great. However, the setups get repetitive as we see the same horror tropes repeated..annoying people chatting inanely for long stretches, horror movie sex stuff, weird things happen, they all die. Rinse and repeat. Despite its issues it does employ decent tension at moments and some weird abstract visual effects. It also has truly vile gore for the gore hounds.

I thought it was pretty cool. Some of the shorts were better than others, but each one had something I enjoyed. My quick thoughts on each: the 1st was great, the 2nd was great, the 3rd had some cool elements but was ultimately lacking, I didn't care much for the 4th one, and the 5th was great. I liked that it felt like an independent film, though this was also a negative aspect sometimes. I didn't ever find it scary, but there were some creepy moments. It wasn't perfect, but I liked it overall.

Each segment has its moments. The girl in the first was neat, second was overall the best (Ti West continuing to keep the horror flame alive), the third's distortion effect was Predator-esque, the fourth's gore was nice and the fifth was very well done (unless the effects at the end were CGI, in which case it sucked). Aside from these things, everything was terrible. Found footage NEEDS to die. Creepshow or Theater Bizarre this is not.

This falls short of being really scary, but fortunately the two shorts that really shine also have the best special effects in the movie.

A found-footage horror anthology, with expectedly mixed results. The wraparound narrative is very thin, but has a few nice Korine-ish touches. The first story ain't subtle, but it's pretty well done. The second is effective, though the resolution seems weak. The third is a bit light, but makes good use of the video format. The fourth isn't much either, but the final twists aren't bad. The fifth is good, a touch undercooked, but worthy. So in the end, it's an okay way to spend a couple of hours.

While one or two of the segments are interesting, there doesn't seem to be much of a narrative thread going on to engage beyond the self-contained pieces. Those, unfortunately, are generally quite poor in quality and fail to justify the time spent watching this anthology.
