I'm a big horror fan and I like anthologies though they can be very hit-and-miss

never seen a single V/H/S movie because the reviews for them are fairly mid, but are there any genuinely good segments that make these worth watching?

damn there's like 7 of these things now

the only one i saw was vhs 85 and it was pretty bad

the first like 15-ish minutes of the first segment was somewhat okay horror, but other than that the only part i really enjoyed was the finalish segment of the movie where it crossed into so bad and ridiculous it's good territory, where

spoilerthe cheesiest looking hot topic 90's goth teen ever put to film shat out magical future serial killing vision dream VHS tapes that he used to watch the future and dramatically shoot the serial killer villain set to hilariously avant-garde industrial music bangers. it also made me realize how anal you have to be about historical found footage, i was instantly taken out of the premise when this whole thing supposedly taking place in a small town police station in 1985 was filmed with like three static film-quality HD widescreen cameras: the other directors in this anthology at least tried to make their footage look shitty and did theirs in 4:3 format

i then looked up the movie online to see other peeps reactions to it, and saw that generally it was considered one of the better/middle of the pack ones, and then instantly had no desire to check out the rest of them at all lmao
