Critics Consensus

It's as scattershot as its predecessor, but V/H/S/2 rounds up enough horror filmmaking talent to deliver a satisfyingly nasty -- albeit uneven -- dose of gore.

Less is not necessarily more in this slimmed-down collection.

3/5

There are some dull stretches here, but also some grisly instant hits: nasty, deplorable, vulgar and sometimes brilliant.

Someone please give Gareth Evans lots of money to make amazing, violent, creative horror films.

If you're up for turning off your mind and seeing the same old thing all over again in a completely unoriginal manner, you're sure to get a few chuckles from the experience but otherwise, go watch Evil Dead again.

3/5

Unlike its predecessor, V/H/S/2 only has one speed. This fast, loud, and abrasive film would have benefited from one or two slower, more tense segments to vary the tone. However, the thrills of A Ride in the Park and Safe Haven make this worth a watch.

4/5

Pulls off the seemingly impossible by being an anthology that succeeds with nearly every vignette. Between the merits of each individual segment and the variety of horrors chronicled, it's arguably the highpoint of the franchise.

Vhs 2 is good enough to be remember in the history of the found footage subgenre. I watch "Safe Heaven" and i have to say it: is a masterpiece! But the others short films from this collection dont carry the same weight.

V/H/S 2 is a huge step up from its predecessor. Each segment has something to enjoy. A main Highlight for me was the segment safe haven. Which I consider one of the best segments so far. Overall, this movie is bloody, creepy, and disturbing. A great horror watch
