  In the past I have only ever reviewed anthology films as a whole, and by-and-large that's probably what I'll go back to doing in the future, but having just watched the last three quarters of the original V/H/S, then V/H/S 2 and V/H/S: Viral all in one sitting, it all sort of bleeds together and I mostly can't remember which one belongs where, so at least for now, I'm gonna try giving some very, very short reviews for each segment, rather than the overall films. Tape 49: The framing device. These were always the silliest part of the franchise. It doesn't work very well as a jumping off point, and it doesn't work at all as a self-contained narrative. Phase I Clinical Trials: Much better stuff from Adam Wingard, has some of the intensity found in the first V/H/S. One of the shorts I think would best translate to a full feature. Could benefit from some better acting though (could be said of all the segments, and isn't a deal breaker for me). A Ride in the Park: Really just one thing going on here, but that's fine for a short film that's just one part of an anthology. A first-person zombie movie shot from the perspective of the zombie is a pretty dope idea. Could have commited to the formula harder, preferably, but the way it is shot I guess makes sense in terms of the larger V/H/S narrative. Safe Haven: The best of what V/H/S 2 has on offer. Not perfect, and unexpectedly made me bring out my glasses to read the subtitles, which I guess arguably clashes with not only the other segments but indeed the "Found Footage" idea overall. Still, solid entry. Slumber Party Alien Abduction: Probably the weakest. Weird choice to go out on. Tries to have fun but unfortunately just doesn't have the time to carry that idea to fruition before the desperate scramble for the "horror" in this found footage horror short.

  So much better than the first, Yet again all the short stories don't connect and the main plot between the tapes was weird and didn't really make sense but the tapes were great, A few good little jumps at times, The stories were pretty fun apart from the last one which felt rushed and cheap, Worth watching even if you hated the first like me.

  This was actually pretty good. Scary, and each story is interesting. The frame narrative is really weak and confusing this time around though. And I feel like the extraterrestrial story that served as the ending video was probably the weakest story of the group, so I would've had it earlier, and maybe ended with the cult video or the eye cam one. That being said, this is a pretty solid horror film and is pretty entertaining. It's just not for the faint of heart.

  Not nearly as good as the original.
