V/H/S Reviews

A nauseating experience on every level.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2013

Smart, scary stuff.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2013

Several of the shorts build ingeniously, and their brevity solves the serial problem of found footage, which is how to maintain interest and plausibility in shaky-cam antics for a whole feature.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2013

Spectacular hits and forgivable misses make this a surefire candidate for cult status.

Like last year's Chronicle, here's another reminder that in the right hands found footage still has plenty of capacity to surprise.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 14, 2013

The mostly played-out found footage aesthetic has its limitations, and V/H/S doesn't escape all of them. But the collected directors do manage to make many of those limitations into the films' strengths.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Oct 9, 2012

I came, I saw, I hunkered.

"V/H/S" probably sounded great in the pitch meeting, but it loses all luster through some shoddy execution.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 5, 2012

Hardcore horror lovers will soak up the gruesome morsels.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 5, 2012

"V/H/S" puts the majority of today's mainstream "scary" movies to shame; perhaps the solution is to cut them all down to about 15 minutes, and fund them on a shoestring.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 5, 2012

At nearly two hours, the gimmick punctures a hole in itself, causing ambience bleed-out.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2012

A low-budget horror anthology with segments both ghastly and moronic ...

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 4, 2012

[A] too-long, violent horror anthology ...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 4, 2012

No one should be expected to endure 115 minutes of this nonsense.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 4, 2012

"The Blair Witch Project" meets mumblecore.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 4, 2012

This indie compilation has enough inventive chills to interest any horror fan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2012

This horror anthology collects six shorts of varying quality, all purported to be found footage. My favorite is Ti West's Second Honeymoon.

| Oct 4, 2012

Enough smart ideas and chilling moments to recommend it to fans of any of its multiple genres, but I would never suggest it to a general audience.

| Original Score: 3.0/5.0 | Oct 4, 2012

Not for the faint of heart or the easily motion sick.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 4, 2012

All told, V/H/S brings some cohesion to the Wild West of indie horror filmmaking, and seems destined to become a key artifact of a DIY era.

| Original Score: B | Oct 4, 2012
