Creeper Compendium.The horror anthology has a chequered history, some are bad but saved by one great segment, others boast a couple of genuine creepers but are undone by one instalment so bad it tarnishes the film forever. And on it goes. V/H/S brings the format into the new age by unfolding its tales by wrapping around the latest craze of found footage.
Six indie directors have produced a picture that was well received at Sundance but has proved to be most divisive with critics and horror fans on internet forums. This will come as no surprise to anyone who knows their horror anthology onions. The usual problems are evident here, a couple of great stories are surrounded by mediocre ones, but at least there is something for everyone, with most bases covered, but that in itself is a problem, all horror fans have preferences, it’s a big ask to expect a fan of stalk and slash to love a story about a winged harpy!
Then there is the issue of the found footage format, here recorded on actual VHS. Not everyone is a fan (myself for instance), and much of V/H/S is dizzying and often hard to follow, especially as regards the Tape 56/frame narrative story that cloaks the other five stories as a bunch of no-mark young crims burgle a grotty house and sift through the tapes. It’s a format loved by many for its supposed realism factors, I don’t get that myself, but for those people this really is up their trees!
Amateur Night (David Bruckner) and The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger (Joe Swanberg) are the standouts. The former is a cautionary tale of frat boys out for sex who get more than they bargained for when they take home the mysterious Lily, the latter an eerie tale unfolded via Skype communication as Emily appears to be a victim of a haunting whilst chatting to her doctor boyfriend.
However, if you ask another fan of the film what stories they feel standout, you may just get two different answers. So as with any other anthology horror, you roll the dice and take your chance, just don’t expect genius in every story, for that is purely folly of expectation. 7/10
Anthologies are, by their very nature, pretty mixed. And found footage horror is not my kettle o’ fish. So a found footage horror anthology did not have me ecstatic. I actually didn’t mind _V/H/S_ though, this was actually better than a loot of the found footage stuff I’ve seen, even if they do lean hard into the most annoying things about it, say for instance, video quality, which is (intentionally) abysmal. The framing device didn’t work for me though, like, at all. I was very confused, and even if I hadn’t been, I wasn’t engaged by it at all. Which is a real shame, because I am particularly fond of the director of that part of the film, Adam Wingard. The entries over all weren’t amazing, but, almost every segment of _V/H/S_ had a real good “oh shit” sort of a **moment** in it that was real intense, and I’m into that.Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
Too much
What we have in V/H/S are a bunch of prolonged horror moments that in usual cases would be the climax to any average horror movie. The movie manages to throw 5 of these ‘money shots’ at the viewer without the need to tell any real story, build any of the characters or introduce their personality’s to the audience. Whether this is a stroke of genius originality or just laziness is the question. You’d be forgiven for thinking that V/H/S is the result a brain storming session where five writers pitched five stories, with one ‘Eureka’ moment of making a movie of the ending of all five. What they seemingly failed to spend any real time on though was the glue to bind the five stories together. It is completely irrelevant, in fact I would go as far as to say the movie would be better without it, a “Here are five tapes that were found, now watch them” instead. I have to say I am a fan of ‘found footage movies’. To me they achieve the desired effect and can, at times, create some truly chilling moments. This movie does have it’s moments but after a while it all gets too much, the ‘found footage’ angle is somehow lost with the constant change of story. You are never really allowed to reach the same level of suspense as with other films in this genre. 6/10. It passed the time but I eventually found myself wanting it to end and asking myself “How many stories to go?”
