This is one of those films that a lot of people would pass on, due to it not being massively released or having huge marketing around it. I honestly think that this is one of the best horror films in a long time. A horror film to me, relies more on making you uneasy rather than throwing a jump scare every 10mins, VHS ignores the "jump scare button" and goes out give the horror film uneasy feeling. The way of using short stories is a great idea that works incredibly well, not since Creepshow has there been a horror that did this so well. If you love horror films then 100% give it a watch, it really does work well. If you do, check out the 2nd and 3rd installments, they both have some excellent short stores.

V/H/S explores a group of people who break in to a house trying to find a video tape recommended by some guy and when playing videos looking for it,they discover some disturbing videos that no person has ever seen. So,V/H/S is a pretty original film I think,well,at the time anyway. The films directors included Adam Wingard and Ti West,two horror directors that have tangled with each others films,making sequels for each other. The tapes included five,each one scary as hell,my favourite tape was probably Ti West's one where a couple are on holiday and I'm not going to spoil,but something very psychologically creepy happens. There was only one bad tape to me in the film and that was the third one,although,the thing is it wasn't actually bad it was just,not the best,the acting in the film was also very good considering it was from 20 something year old nothings. V/H/S is a brilliant,excellent creepy horror film that is very good for Halloween! Just going to review the second one,Now!!

Let me start by saying that the VHS series is one of the best movie series of the millennium. Not only does it have an interstellar cast of, Randy Newman, Paul Rudd, Kate Olsen, (The Black one), and probably my dad. You may be asking yourselves why i'm taking the time and effort to type out a movie review about probably one of the most obscure and stupidist movie franchises in all of my asshole, its because i trying to convey the meaning and thought that VHS is probably one of the most brilliantly executed and most well thought out movies of our generation. If anyone out there named Joe Regal, specifically think other wise, your gay and smelly.VHS is a masterfully shot and marvelously executed piece of drama and art. The tender care and Thought that went into every alien dance sequence, and Hilarious and side splitting fart joke truly holds up when Paul Rudd's character, "stinky" gets a call from the E.R saying his mother died from the impact of the collision, and stinky throws his arms into the air and shouts "BAZAANGLE BOJANGLE" The plot of VHS still holds up even after its release in 1867 B.C, real quick- I think that that and that alone is enough to divorce your wife and cut all previous ties with your family and to go see this work of aspiring art.A quick summary of the plot, Randy Newman's and Kate Olsen's (The Black one) characters get into a heated argument in whether or not Kettle corn is gross or not (which it clearly is and stop trying to say its not.) Well, Kate Olsen (The Black one)'s character says its not, and Randy Newman's character decided to give up because his family is probably dead after 400 years of arguing and are probably really gross and smelly. Kate Olsen's character, (The Black one) takes out a bag of succulent little kernels begins to one throat each one of them and walks away, but then she explodes, because in the previous scene she just ate an entire 32" pizza even though she is lactose intolerant. I think this scene and this scene and this scene alone perfectly describes how well all three installments of the VHS series blends and choreograph's into this nice clean consistent work, and truly symbolizes the inner meaning and dialogue of the characters and writings.this is exactly what happened and how the movie plays out and if you don't think so, then your flat out wrong and poopy. Especially if your name is joey and you are a hoey, then your reeeaallly poopy and stinky.I give the Boxcar Children a solid 9.8/10

How this film got an average rating of 5.8 out of 10 completely baffles me given a choice I would rather give birth to a chair than be forced to watch this plot less heap of shite again! After watching it I had a sudden urge to thoroughly clean my eyes with bleach thankfully I avoided doing so but I can only assume that it would have been a more enjoyable experience than watching this! My partner has had sleepless nights over this film and still hasn't forgave me for buying it for him and not allowing him to watch the swarm instead I decision I regret deeply! Batgirl was insane but somehow likable! I'd like to say the highlight of the film was when it ended but we didn't make it that far! So much needed improving on this film (never created would be a major plus) but I guess you can't polish a turd!
