Review:

As with any anthology film (especially these horror anthologies with different writers and directors on each story) some stories are going to hit harder than others and some just aren't going to be as good. Like the first V/H/S/, the frame story is stupid, confusing, and unnecessary. This one is much worse, but it's the stories that really matter. Some of the titles are a little spoilery so I'll just refer to them numerically. The first one was a solid idea with terrible execution. It feels way too rushed and felt like I was watching a highlight reel and not a real story. Nothing is explained and there are far too many loose ends. The second, has a great premise and as soon as I saw where it was going, I got very excited. Naturally, they squander the potential and I was unsatisfied. Most of the story is shown through a helmet mounted Go-Pro, which is terrible for action scenes because we get far too close to the other people and everything is too fast, shaky, and blurred. The third story is the only story that worked. The acting isn't the best, but everything else is great. The fourth story feel like an after thought. It's really just one big action scene with zero establishment, consequence, or effort. All of the stories are unpredictable and their ability to surprise me is easily the strongest element here. Aside from the crappy frame story, every story was at least exciting. Really, the only story worth the time, though, is the third one. From all the stories in the first two V/H/S/ anthologies, this story is unquestionably the best. There is some unnecessary drama, but I'd rather watch this story four times than watch the whole movie again.
