Very Cool!!!

Best movie ever!

A Brilliant Conflict

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I gave the first V/H/S a 6/10 and referred to it as very uneven and having more misses than hits. This one, however, is much better and I actually enjoyed a majority of the film.If I were to rate the segments:Tape 49/frame narrative - I never really care for the wrap-around stories in these films. This one was no different, although i did find it better than the wrap-around in the first one. 6/10Phase I Clinical Trials - In my opinion, this is the strongest short in the film. Although one of the others may be more professionally made this is the scariest and my favourite. 9/10A Ride in the Park - A really unique idea that is quite entertaining, but becomes a bit gimmicky and doesn't have a good enough payoff. 7/10Safe Haven - Probably the best segment in terms of film-making, although not as scary as "Phase 1 CLinical Trials" for me. It's the longest, but I was never bored at any point and got pretty freaked out watching it. The ending could have been better, but apart from that it's great. 9/10Slumber Party Alien Abduction - The kids are super annoying. The special effects and sound design and everything are great though. The ending was a bit anti-climactic, but it's still an entertaining watch. 6.5/10

This film is quite frustrating as it has as many low points as high points. I love anthology movies, and this is my first 'found footage' one, but I have to admit I'm kind of left cold by this one as, well, there's too many questions raised and, basically, some of the stories are totally crap.Best to go through segment by segment: Wraparound - Not bad as two PIs track down the son of somebody or other. Logic thrown out of the window as I can't understand why someone would transfer all this digital media onto video tape. Plus the guy's assistant is dead so he decides to watch a video? The fake eyeball one: Generic J-Horror style one that barely makes sense at all. I'm still trying to understand why the girl knew that he could see the dead when she could hear them. Or something.The zombie one. Nice premise. In fact, this one isn't too bad (from the Hobo with a Shotgun guys, which is a film you should watch). Not much of a story, but still.The Cult One. Yet again, this one is high on gore and horror (it's like a Jonestown thing with much more sinister tones)...but logic is also thrown out the window. I mean, if all this crap happened, who snuck back into the compound and gathered together every camera used and then edited it all together (then put it on VHS for no reason)? It's things like this that sink this film.The alien abduction one. I've just described this one. That's it.Anthology films are hard to do. It must be harder to do them 'found footage' style but at least two of the films here seem to involve the apocalypse which makes you wonder how these films ended up on VHS in some guy's house. That sequence barely makes sense at all by the way.Yet again, another film you may or may not like based on who you are. I was kind of indifferent about it.

A couple of private detective's have been hired to find a missing teen. Their investigation leads them to a seemingly empty house, where upon they discover a pile of old VHS tapes and a laptop which has a recording made by the missing teen. They start watching through the tapes but instead of finding possible clues as to the missing boy's location, they find recordings of much more sinister events.This is another POV film and just like the 1st (and where the relation ends), several smaller films are entwined into the the main story. Those are...1) a man has groundbreaking eye surgery but starts witnessing disturbing images 2) a cyclist becomes the victim of a horrible attack 3) an investigation into a cult has horrendous results 4) a group of kids home alone have some unexpected visitors.OK, let's get straight to the heart of the matter...V/H/S 2 is absolutely horrendous, and if you enjoyed V/H/S in any way then you'll be sorely let down here. While the story's may have some interesting concepts the majority are just complete nonsense and in fact cross the border of ridiculous, especially for the 3rd entry.There's also absolutely no suspense or creepiness whatsoever either which was a let down because at least the 1st film had a decent amount of uneasiness & suspense to it. Here, there's nothing. The movie will probably be enjoyed by gore fans, however, but for me horrors need more than just gore to be enjoyable. The gore just tries to compensate for the pure lack of story and it's that that's used to shock the audience rather than anything else.On a side note, it's actually amazing how clear all the clips were considering they're all on VHS. The tapes in the 1st had at least some graininess giving them that VHS kind of feel.The only positives I can give this movie are at least the visual & special effects are done pretty well and the idea for the eye surgery clip is pretty cool. Other than that, V/H/S 2 completely bombs and is just extremely poor.

First of all I want to say that unlike the first movie whose cameras moved a lot, this one is not that annoying due to there was a better job filming the tapes, not like a professional but like a good amateur. Said this I want to add that the whole idea is quite interesting and realistic at times knowing it is just a movie (found-footage films are always a good way to make you think you are inside the movie). If the previous one was good, this was just great and I got scared a lot. It's not very common that a second part of a movie is better then the first but you've got this.The first tape was the tape I least liked but it was good after all, must admit I got scared a little despite the fact I don't like ghost very much, besides there were certain things that didn't have any sense but it got its purpose which is to make me scared. The second tape was interesting but didn't scare me and I doubt that zombies can do so, but it was good to see a zombie attack by the perspective of the same zombie. After the first two tapes things get better, the third tape was really but really great, original, bloody, insane, disturbing and all you can imagine. I really enjoyed watching this tape and it is probably better than any other tape showing in the first V/H/S, in fact it could have had its own movie because the idea was fantastic. And finally the fourth tape, the most disturbing, annoying (in a good way) and scariest of all. I'm sure you won't agree with me, but I must confess that any kind of extraterrestrial being scares the hell out of me. I never imagined this tape was about aliens, actually when I realized so I had to turn the lights on because I was very scared. This tape was funny at first and that relaxed me a lot but after a few minutes things got worse, the aliens were very aggressive and didn't seem to be super smart and that's disturbing and reminded me a story I heard once on a Spanish TV show, this tape definitely got its purpose because I was terrified watching this part of the movie.I'm glad after the result, a good movie and I hope I can sleep well tonight, I totally recommend this movie.
