  The VHS franchise is finally back! This new addition, despite its share of subpar segments as expected, does provide some refreshing excitements, but I do feel like it has eventually overstayed its welcome since it has obviously run out of its original indie spirits and lost its creative impulses.

  Out of its 5 segments, only the one from Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto, who has already proved his horror visions in VHS 2 with his magnificent cult segment, is well above average, thanks to its abundant gore, bonkers effects and its bold tap into the realm of humanity and morality. Everything else, from the sewerage monsters, to the haunted wake, and to the goofy, supernatural conservatives roast, despite their respective glimpses…

  There’s no better way to kick the season than with VHS 94th annual film festival people are ready lining to up to Raatma the sewer ride, apple Raatma and of course to see who will be crowned festival’s largest Raatma.

  Hail Raatma! 🙇🏻‍♂️

  Let’s not kid ourselves - the Veggie Masher infomercial n its chaos was obviously where this peaked

  Review by anna nomaly ★★★½ 1

  And we're back. Seven years since the universally forgotten V/H/S: Viral, some of indie horror's freshest voices gather once again for another stroll through the video store, and while it isn't as terrifying as the first two installments, it's a hell of a good time and a return to form for this largely delightful franchise. The wraparound, "Holy Hell," is a whiff, overwrought and underdeveloped, but each of the four primary segments has its pleasures. "Storm Drain" kicks things off in fun and suspenseful fashion, with a reporter and her cameraman chasing down an urban legend; "The Empty Wake," though ultimately anticlimactic, excels at the kind of isolation horror exemplified by movies like The House of the Devil; "The Subject,"…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★

  The year is 1994. Bill Clinton is President, Hugh Grant is the world’s hottest sex symbol, and the New York Rangers have finally won the Stanley Cup for the first time in more than half a century. Meanwhile — in more relevant news — pre-millennial panic is coinciding with a boom in lo-fi consumer video and the advent of reality television as an oblivious world steels itself for the digital revolution to come. “The Blair Witch Project” won’t emerge from the woods for a little while to come, but this is the milieu from which it was born.

  In other words, it should be the perfect moment in time to set a reboot (or resurrection) of the “V/H/S” films, a…

  Review by Sally Jane Black 1

  I didn't really follow most of this (depression), but there was one segment I felt the need to comment on so here we are.

  In the one at the wake, they use a multiple-camera setup, presumably excused because someone wanted the wake filmed. That alone is a weak excuse for a multicamera set up within a found footage film, but what bothered me even more was that even with an excuse for it, multicamera setups just don't work in found footage (usually). The point is to capture a POV and imbue it with realism. Yes, you can find an excuse for all those cameras, but if you're gonna go to all that trouble, why not just make a non-found footage film? If you can't work within the constraints of the genre (or break them in a creative way instead of a lazy one like this did), don't bother working in that genre.

  The segments radiate the same vibe of those horror Key & Peele sketches

  More. Please.

  I'm sorry, but at this point, no other found-footage franchise works as well as V/H/S.

  As a franchise, one thing I've noticed with V/H/S is that the films are commendably committed to delivering a genuinely unpolished visual style. Whilst a majority of found-footage movies forget the importance of visuals, V/H/S/94 refreshingly does not.

  Each segment has its own uniquely unsettling visual style, ranging from grainy to glitchy, and all are a joy to watch. I'm telling you, if I wanted a proper "film" aesthetic I wouldn't be watching a found-footage movie to begin with.

  Like my favourite V/H/S films, V/H/S/94 pairs these visuals with an abundance of truly grotesque gore, devised by a pleasing fusion of practical and…

  Review by 1313: Tony the Terror🌨️ ★★★½ 2

  Really fun stuff here! Much better than the last entry anyway. The thing I liked the most is that the first story takes place where I live: Westerville, OH! Westerville has never had a Ratman to my knowledge and that’s really a shame. Oh well, it wasn’t my favorite story anyway. Not nearly as good as the Italian Ratman anyway, but that’s just my preference for Italian trash talking.

  The funeral home and mad doctor stories were my faves and they were creepy and batshit crazy respectively. Big fan of Simon Barrett, especially coming off of Seance. 

  The other stories don’t even come immediately to memory and I wasn’t that drunk so that’s why my rating isn’t higher.

  A police S.W.A.T. team investigates about a mysterious VHS tape and discovers a sinister cult that has pre-recorded material which uncovers a nightmarish conspiracy.

  V/H/S is back, but this time we have a 90’s-heavy throwback that combines numerous elements to create a unique experience. While I have yet to see the one everyone considers to be bad, the first two are solid enough (not even sure if I have rated them on here). 94 not only improves on some of my issues with the others, but it manages to deliver on some of the most unique stories you will see this year. Since this is an anthology film, the stories themselves…

  I liked the empty wake segment and the storm drain rat man segment (and amateur sketch of said rat man lol), but I dunno… besides V/H/S/2 which I still love I think I’m just checked out of these movies at this point. 

  Bummer.
