My favorite out of the 3

I love the V.H.S movies (not #3) but this was the one I had to own first due to the Gareth Evans story Safe Haven. My favorite story and I am a horror fan so it's strange and bloody just the way I like it. Plus I wasn't aware that this blue ray come with an actual VHS of the movie. Very cool!

i also think this one is better than the first one, i watched them within two days so i was prepared that it's gonna be several stories so i keep reminding myself i was watching vhs2... but this one is better because, it lets you know when a story begins and finishes. each one is more intense of horrors than first one..... well not bad, 3.5stars is justified

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

And yes, I got the deluxe edition with the VHS tape (even though I'll probably never play it, but I may, just in case there are surprises). This was a rather interesting anthology of horror, all in the "found footage" genre (which, in my humble opinion, has yet to be tapped for its fullest potential). I never got the connection from the films to the hapless thieves hired to get the collection of VHS tapes, but so what, it was still a good collection of horror shorts.

I absolutely love this movie as well as the first one. I ordered the VHS combo pack and the vhs version looks super cool. The box looks old and vintage. Well worth the money and I highly suggest!

If you love blood and boobs, you'll love this movie.

I've been on a found footage kick as of late. Most of the films I've watched rely on psychological horror for scares rather than blood and guts, and I like that. To me there's nothing scary about people getting stabbed, cut open, etc. This film and it's prequel relies heavily on blood and guts for it's "scares," combined plenty of boobies bouncing about.

If you are a pubescent boy (or at the same maturity level as one), you'll absolutely adore these films. If you're not, don't waste your time.

Well done horror anthology

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2013

There's something about the horror genre that lends itself to a few distinct elements that would ruin most other films. It's often low budget, lacks much character development and storyline, and deals with subjects that have been told over and over again. With those low budgets and sparse storylines, directors have to be more inventive than most to create a successful film. How many great directors got their start shooting horror films (Ridley Scott, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, etc.)? One of the (arguably) great breakthroughs in horror came with the extremely low budget film Blair Witch Project which used first person, found footage camera work to much success. Many other found footage horror films have followed with mixed results (the better ones in my opinion being Rec, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, and The Last Exorcism--the original Silent House, while not falling exactly into the found footage category also has some wonderful,creative camera work that can be compared in a way to the first person style).

VHS2 continues the found footage sub genre of horror movies and does it remarkably well. I will spare the reader a detailed description of the plot as I believe it is best left to be discovered; simply put, a couple go to a house and discover a collection of old tvs and VHS tapes which contain some pretty scary scenes. VHS2 is an anthology with the VHS tapes each telling a unique story that is wrapped around the original story of couple in the house. Each story is unique and doesn't really tie into the others in any recognizable way. The anthology style lends itself very well to horror as there's not enough time to develop characters or background stories; you just meet the characters and watch as their worlds go increasingly out of control to a fateful end.

One thing VHS2 does very well is deal with the lingering problem of camera work. Most horror films run into the problem of the logic of the characters. Why would that girl go into the dark house that's making all those creepy noises? When Bob wakes up in the middle of the night, why doesn't he turn on all the lights before investigating that weird sound in the cellar? And the worst one for found footage movies--why doesn't the cameraman just drop that stupid camera and run? Paranormal Activity 2 tried to solve the problem in part by using the idea of security footage instead of hand held cameras. VHS2 actually places the cameras "on" the actors (I'll let you discover how) so that the characters can't drop or leave them. There's still the problem of all the shots being a little too perfectly composed especially when the cameras are dropped, but that's a problem I can let go. And the other problem with the found footage style, one I've never really had, is that for many viewers the bouncing camera is the same as putting someone who's prone to seasickness on a small boat in the middle of a storm; it's just hard to watch.

Getting past all the issues of found footage style, the thing is does do so effectively is put viewers right there with our poor characters. You feel as if you're in the same room with that zombie or trapped in the haunted house along with our heroine. You're no longer a passive viewer--you're actively in the scene--and what happens to our heroine or hero happens to you. One story in particular in VHS2 is interesting in how you see things from the monster's point of view instead of the "normal person's" which essentially turns the viewer into the monster. VHS2 consistently uses creative and fun ways to tell the story from a first person view and to really heighten the tension of being right alongside our heroes.

While VHS2 has many of the usual trappings of horror films (questionable character logic, overused stories, an abundance of blood and sex to name a few), there is a lot of creativity in it. It's found imaginative ways to use the somewhat exhausted format of found footage, given fresh life to some older stories, and used the anthology style well. The acting is good enough to be believable. The sound and music are well done. For those who are fans of the horror genre and specifically the sub genre of found footage horror, VHS2 proves to be one of the better films out there.
