It's amazing how a series can go downhill so fast and so much after a 1st outing, yet here we are. V/H/S was a pretty decent outing even if some of it was a bit much, but compared to the 3 sequels, it's a masterpiece and I'm stunned at how this installment has an average of over 5 stars (even more stunned at how the 2nd film has 6 yet that is just as truely bad as this).
I don't really know where to begin with this one as it was ALL just as equally bad, from the extremely over-the-top storylines to the equally over-the-top gore. A few moments here and there were eerie enough, but the segments just transcended into the nonsensical. I guess that's the point of these films.....to go a bit OTT and not take themselves seriously which I can get, but still. There's OTT and then there's just off the planet.
As with the previous films, this one shows different segments of film footage from very different story arcs all interwoven with a main story. HOW the stories are interwoven though doesn't make sense because at least in the first film we're actually watching old VHS tapes with one of the main characters due to them looking for a specific tape. Here, it feels like very random VHS cutaways that takes you from the main story.
Gore fans may love it because there is a ton of it here. With each passing installation they seem to have ramped up the gore factor. Just a pity they didn't put as much effort into each of the storylines because if they did, we may have had a winner.
I purely watched it due to seeing the previous three films and was hoping it wasn't as bad as the previous two. Ah well, win some lose some and this was a definite loss. Only watch this if you haven't got anything else better to do, like watching paint peel.
