V/H/S [DVD]

I really like the film style. They made it look like the whole thing was filmed on camcorders and the stories were laid out to appear like typical video-diaries, bringing suspense for when the "horror movie" will come into play. You really have no idea what the story will bring when going in blindly with no spoilers. I've never seen a horror movie quite like this one and I'll watch the others next. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes action and suspense movies. Also, the makeup and gore looks really well done. They did a really good job on this. I'd expect as much from the director who also worked on the newer Scream movies.

In 2012, who knew that the found footage horror hit "V/H/S" would become a long-running, and highly successful franchise! I'm not here to write a specific film review on this, I'm just here to say that I ordered the DVD copy of this film to add to my horror collection and I'm beyond happy to finally have this little gem in my collection!! Sophisticated, creative, believable, and good scary, bloody fun! I can't wait to start collecting the sequels on DVD as well. This is a great product for any collector/horror fan! Get it now before they no longer make prints of this film!

This film was very different from start to finish. It's not your everyday mainstream movie, it's got some extreme scenes, a lot of little scares and some mysteries. It's an independent..."POV, found footage" horror type of film, not many of us have seen movies like this one before but I tell you what, if your a true horror fan and are constantly on the look out for something exciting and fresh from new minds then this is right for you. Now, I'll admit like the rest of you the execution wasn't the best, but the themes and setting of the film make up for it, "does it deserve a 4 and not a 5 Chris?" Well I don't know I was hesitant on the 4 because I can feel that the directors really did there best and in my opinion it's a 5. "But Chris what about all those people who said it blew and not to waste you money?" Well.. to my fellow Amazonians who rated this below a 4 you are ignorant and don't understand the genre of horror, and I say to you.... Make Something Better... Chris S/D

Surprisingly good but...ok,first things first. This film is an anthology film meaning it is broken up of individual stories in one film. That is slightly important to know going into this or you are going to be confused thinking its one film with one plot from beginning to end. The way the movie is filmed already makes it confusing enough since it is shot Blair Witch style and with broken segments of VHS type quality directing. I am not a fan of this amateur POV (point of view) style directing but whatever. I was on the verge of giving this movie 5 stars based on the second short( "Amateur Night") within the movie alone. It is one of the creepiest things I've viewed. However, along the way came other shorts which weren't bad but seemed incomplete and unsatisfying. After watching the movie I looked up the film on Wikipedia and it explained some of what I missed or didn't catch on to and then it made sense. This is definitely a film that needs your uninterrupted attention because (once again)the way it is shot is confusing. For a low budget film it is great and is one of the better horror films I've seen in awhile. I can see why some are not going to like this movie because of the way it is shot and edited but that's what makes it different. As I mentioned earlier, I am also not a fan of the Blair Witch style directing (or the Blair Witch movie for that matter). Unless you are very eagle eyed and sharp I doubt you are going to completely understand each of these shorts during your first time viewing it which is a turn off for a lot of people. But watched late at night and not expecting much from it, it mostly satisfied me with its creepy content and depravity.

Imaginative, intelligent, and just the right level of serious horror.

This is my second time watching this movie and overall I like it. It's creative and the found footage element makes it pretty spooky. The one thing I can't handle is the sexual assault in the beginning. It's like a punch in the stomach every time I see it. Completely awful and sickening. I don't know why they would include something like that.

Very good movie. I usually don't particulary care for pov movies but this one is so good that I have watched it several times now. It has got to be one of the weirdest and scariest movies I have ever seen. The scariest part really sayssomething when not much in the way of movies scare me anymore. It is a horror anthology centered around these terrible punks that break into a house for someone to steal a tape for a lot of money. While they are in search of said tape they come across several very scary and bizarre home videos, stuff that is made up of your worst nightmares. in between each tape theses post pubescent punks get picked off by something that is not known until the very end.

con una increíble trama, no te aburres en ningún momento, increíble insuperable. Es una gran película y espero que la veías

Muy buen artículo, llegó en el tiempo estipulado, y a muy buen precio. Muy recomendado.

5 Kurzfilme, mit harten, teilweise recht brutalen Handlungen, die Filme werden teilweise aus der Ich- Perspektive- Kameraperspektive erzählt. Ich wurde bei den Kurzfilmen durchaus unterhalten, jeder Teil hat seinen Charme- und ist auf seine Art und Weise gut. Abgedreht, böse, vorhersehbar, blutig uvm. fällt mir zu den Kurzfilmen ein. Mir haben sie gut gefallen... würde sie weiter empfehlen. Von mir 5 von 5 Sterne

I only heard of this film a few months ago and liked the sound of it. It lived up to the hype, for me. The framing sequence is effective, the first story is very good, the second is slower-paced but has a better quality picture and a great ending. The third story is weird and i couldn't quite understand it but it's still effective. The fourth tale was the weakest for me, but the final one deliver. Great film overall, and i look forward to seeing the sequels.

I must admit, the horror genre is, for the most part, a swirling vortex of dross. As a result it seems that the excellent VHS isn't getting the exposure or recognition it deserves. It's a shame because this film really should have found a wider mainstream audience. In fairness, there's nothing particularly new here- Hammer horror were doing portmanteau films back in the sixties and the found-footage/fake documentary thing has become a cinema standard since Cannibal Holocaust. However, VHS has a subtlety, simplicity and off-kilter sense of humour that lifts it a cut above the rest. The short film format works particularly well for the crudeness of horror, allowing the tales to be unsettling and ambiguous. Plus, the framing scenario of these videos being found & viewed by some looting bozos casts doubt over the validity of each one, which conversely adds a layer of realism to the whole thing. True, a lot of the characters are obnoxious morons but the acting is fine, the dialogue naturalistic and the special effects are exactly the way they're meant to be. On the downside, the fourth story (about a medical student talking to his girlfriend via webcam) is pretty naff, has the most gratuitous nudity and doesn't really fit with the overall feel of the film. Also, the jerky cameras can be a bit annoying. Apart from those niggles, though, VHS is an unsung classic.
