SYNOPSIS

Following on from the hugely successful and critically acclaimed horror anthology V/H/S comes a sequel of even greater ingenuity with its momentous thrills and game-changing photography! Featuring a roster of talented directors at the very top of their game, V/H/S/2 undeniably breathes new life into the horror genre with such originality that it'll leave you rewinding the scares time and time again. 'Tape 49' Directed by Simon Barrett Searching for a missing student, two private investigators decide to break into a derelict suburban house with the sole purpose of finding clues that could lead to his whereabouts. However, upon arrival they discover an abandoned collection of VHS cassettes stacked in front of a wall of flickering television sets. As they bravely watch the horrific contents of the cassettes, each one more shocking and disturbing than the last, it soon becomes apparent that there may be dark motives behind the student's vanishing. The contents of those VHS cassettes are as follows: 'Phase I Clinical Trials' Directed by Adam Wingard A patient has a camera installed in his eye for monitoring and medical research purposes after a car accident damages his eyesight. Unbeknownst to him the camera picks up more than just his standard vision, leading the patient into a terrifying ordeal. 'A Ride in the Park' Directed by Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale A cyclist must fight for his life when he discovers a bloodied woman hysterically screaming deep in the forest having been attacked by zombies. 'Safe Haven' Directed by Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto A news crew are granted access to the home of an Indonesian cult to report the mysterious goings-on. 'Slumber Party Alien Abduction' Directed by Jason Eisener A slumber party turns into a fight for survival when it's interrupted by a group of dangerous extra terrestrial visitors.


REVIEWS

  • indieWIRE: V/H/S 2 smartly contextualizes its nightmarish cavalcade of violence by acknowledging the luxury of enjoying it from a distance.
  • Variety: This one is shorter and has fewer segments, but also earns a much higher batting average. In fact, there's nary a dud among the four main tales (not including the titled bookends), which each whip elements of terror, macabre humor and the fantastical into a giddy frenzy.
  • Slant Magazine: A welcome contrast to the first film's snuff-y atmosphere and general mean-spiritedness, featuring more humor, fewer hateful characters, and occasional twinges of relatable human emotion.
  • The Playlist: S-VHS is a whole lot of fun.
  • Film.com: S-VHS isn't as pants-pooping scary as the first, but it is funnier, tighter and slicker.
  • Dreadcentral.com: This is a film with great stories and a wraparound that has twice the scares! Don't miss this one!
  • EFilmcritic.com: An entertaining horror anthology even if you don't compare it to its predecessor, enough to make the possibility of a third entry surprisingly welcome.
  • 28dayslateranalysis.com: V/H/S/2 is an expertly crafted sequel.
  • Best-horror-movies.com: Overall, this is a superior sequel to the first film.
