Review of V/H/S/2

V/H/S/2 (2013)
6/10
Slightly better than the first one
21 June 2013
The first "V/H/S" is a good found footage horror anthology film that I personally enjoyed for the most part anyways. Despite few of the stories seemed a bit flat despite the other ones really nailing it. And like the first one this one has more of the cool camera tricks going for it. And it actually adds to the cool vibe to this film. For a low budget horror anthology film such as this one it could have even worked as a TV show like "Tales from the Crypt". But personally I thought it worked well in film form and actually made me look forward to the next installment. I mean it's not a great horror found footage horror anthology film out there or horror films in general. But it's entertaining and even amusing at times because of the clever camera work. The first "V/H/S" film had few really flat ones when it came to few of the stories found in the tapes. That isn't really the case with this one, basically all of it held my interest despite few being weaker than the other which is completely understandable. And the special effects are better this time around as well. But it just didn't feel all that raw compared to the first one and the rawness added to the originality that went away from the Hollywood movies. And some parts of this movie just didn't make any sense and I am not talking about the supernatural and other creepy elements. Despite few flaws this is a film that is most definitely worth a rent for horror fans.

6.8/10
