V/H/S: Viral Trailers

As the streets of Los Angeles overflow with camera-wielding gawkers seeking to capture images of a bizarre police pursuit, the same people who sought to exploit the suffering of others for amusement on the Internet become the stars of a gruesome viral video from which no one gets out alive.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I honestly don't even know where to begin. This movie was so terrible that it almost made my face bleed. Take a moment to think about what a movie is made up of...now imagine all those things being put together by a room full of adolescent chimps. Everything from the horrible camera work to the lousy acting was laughable at best, at least until you begin to think about how this movie is the 3rd installment to a great series. Then you pretty much just want to cry.Remember how the first two movies were scary and had an aura of creepiness and thrill? Yea me too but in "Viral" there isn't a shred of any type of creepy, scary, or thrill. It took me 4 attempts, over the course of a year, to finally sit down and subject myself to this poor excuse of a movie. Sure it had the series of short stories that VHS is famous for but the similarities to the other movies stops there.An incoherent main story line coupled with poorly written short stories accomplish one thing very well...they give you a glimpse into what must be running through a drug addict's head just after his first hit of the pipe. I could go on and on about how terrible this movie was but I don't feel like any amount of words could describe how awful "VIRAL" was. So without any further ranting, please do yourself a great service of NOT WATCHING this movie like I did. I can guarantee that if you do, your gonna be immensely disappointed that " Viral" made it as the 3rd movie in the VHS trilogy.Oh and just in case I wasn't clear before, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT IS GARBAGE FROM Beginning TO END.

This installment really strayed from the original two that came before it. It isn't really an anthology of found footage, rather a collection of short POV films. It lacks the originality of the first film, and lacks the quality of shorts of the second film.The wraparound story just wasn't very intriguing enough to care about. I can kind of understand what they were going for but was so poorly executed such that the spliced up scenes made little sense."Parallel Monsters", the second short is probably the only one worth watching, it has a creepy-comedic vibe to it, but it feels more like a dark-comedy than a horror.TL;DRThe film is watchable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. A real downgrade from the previous two films that came before it.

"V/H/S: Viral" was kind of crap, considering the 2 other movies in the trilogy.While the first two movies in the "V/H/S" series weren't amazing, they were at least entertaining, and were pretty good at the art of suspense (at least most of them were). They also kept to the title, and the entirety of both "V/H/S" and "V/H/S/2" looked like they were found on VHS tapes.Not "Viral" though.I guess they just decided to drop that idea, which was the first problem. The second and most apparent problem is that "Viral" is not scary. The three segments are imaginative, and maybe if they were lengthened, they could be a stand-alone movie. But they weren't scary. Not in the slightest. Some were bloody, but blood does not make a scene scary. And not to mention that they effects were lackluster. In the segment "Bonestorm", there is a part where the character "Filmer" gets his arm ripped off. But the effect looked so fake, that it was enough it make me laugh out loud. This was the effect of uninspired editing, which, now that I think about it, sums up this whole movie. Uninspired. If you are a fan of the "V/H/S" series, I say disregard this movie, and take V/H/S/2 as the last movie in the series. Because this will only leave you unsatisfied.

I have recently just discovered the V/H/S movie franchise. I thoroughly enjoyed V/H/S and actually liked V/H/S 2 more than the first installment. After a day of binge watching the first two movies, i decided to give the third installment, V/H/S: Viral, a shot. That was an incredibly poor choice on my part. V/H/S: Viral consists of 3 shorts (was originally 4 before one of them was cut for not fitting the film's "theme") and the usual wrap-around story. The first short, Dante the Great, was a blatant disgrace to the V/H/S franchise. This short wasn't scary at all and seemed to be a mockery of the whole series. The second short, Parallel Monsters, although not being that great, is the clear winner out of this trio of terrible shorts. Parallel Monsters wasn't exactly scary, but it had that disturbing sense of uneasiness displayed throughout the short that the V/H/S franchise has been known for. The last short, Bonestorm, is the closest short to match the form of the first two films. It consists of some unsuspecting people stumbling upon something disturbing (the usual concept). The only thing stopping this short from reaching the top of the charts, is the horribly annoying acting displayed by the characters. The wrap-around story, Vicious Circles, is so disgustingly incoherent and an absolute headache to follow that I actually had to reach out to the internet to find a dumbed down summary of this story. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, it's an absolute disgrace to the franchise. If you're a fan of the first two V/H/S films, stay far, far, FAR away from this horrendous installment.
