After the discovery of a mysterious VHS tape, a brutish police SWAT team launches a high-intensity raid on a remote warehouse, only to discover a sinister cult compound whose collection of pre-recorded material uncovers a nightmarish conspiracy.

Let’s not kid ourselves - the Veggie Masher infomercial n its chaos was obviously where this peaked
The VHS franchise is finally back! This new addition, despite its share of subpar segments as expected, does provide some refreshing excitements, but I do feel like it has eventually overstayed its welcome since it has obviously run out of its original indie spirits and lost its creative impulses.
Out of its 5 segments, only the one from Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto, who has already proved his horror visions in VHS 2 with his magnificent cult segment, is well above average, thanks to its abundant gore, bonkers effects and its bold tap into the realm of humanity and morality. Everything else, from the sewerage monsters, to the haunted wake, and to the goofy, supernatural conservatives roast, despite their respective glimpses…
There’s no better way to kick the season than with VHS 94th annual film festival people are ready lining to up to Raatma the sewer ride, apple Raatma and of course to see who will be crowned festival’s largest Raatma.

Hail Raatma! 🙇🏻♂️
And we're back. Seven years since the universally forgotten V/H/S: Viral, some of indie horror's freshest voices gather once again for another stroll through the video store, and while it isn't as terrifying as the first two installments, it's a hell of a good time and a return to form for this largely delightful franchise. The wraparound, "Holy Hell," is a whiff, overwrought and underdeveloped, but each of the four primary segments has its pleasures. "Storm Drain" kicks things off in fun and suspenseful fashion, with a reporter and her cameraman chasing down an urban legend; "The Empty Wake," though ultimately anticlimactic, excels at the kind of isolation horror exemplified by movies like The House of the Devil; "The Subject,"…
Best section: Coffin spookies
Worst section: Vampire militia
Best moment: Hail Raatma
Worst moment: Indonesian police CGI muzzle flashes
I didn't really follow most of this (depression), but there was one segment I felt the need to comment on so here we are.
In the one at the wake, they use a multiple-camera setup, presumably excused because someone wanted the wake filmed. That alone is a weak excuse for a multicamera set up within a found footage film, but what bothered me even more was that even with an excuse for it, multicamera setups just don't work in found footage (usually). The point is to capture a POV and imbue it with realism. Yes, you can find an excuse for all those cameras, but if you're gonna go to all that trouble, why not just make a non-found footage film? If you can't work within the constraints of the genre (or break them in a creative way instead of a lazy one like this did), don't bother working in that genre.
The year is 1994. Bill Clinton is President, Hugh Grant is the world’s hottest sex symbol, and the New York Rangers have finally won the Stanley Cup for the first time in more than half a century. Meanwhile — in more relevant news — pre-millennial panic is coinciding with a boom in lo-fi consumer video and the advent of reality television as an oblivious world steels itself for the digital revolution to come. “The Blair Witch Project” won’t emerge from the woods for a little while to come, but this is the milieu from which it was born.
In other words, it should be the perfect moment in time to set a reboot (or resurrection) of the “V/H/S” films, a…
More. Please.
I'm sorry, but at this point, no other found-footage franchise works as well as V/H/S.
As a franchise, one thing I've noticed with V/H/S is that the films are commendably committed to delivering a genuinely unpolished visual style. Whilst a majority of found-footage movies forget the importance of visuals, V/H/S/94 refreshingly does not.
Each segment has its own uniquely unsettling visual style, ranging from grainy to glitchy, and all are a joy to watch. I'm telling you, if I wanted a proper "film" aesthetic I wouldn't be watching a found-footage movie to begin with.
Like my favourite V/H/S films, V/H/S/94 pairs these visuals with an abundance of truly grotesque gore, devised by a pleasing fusion of practical and…
Really fun stuff here! Much better than the last entry anyway. The thing I liked the most is that the first story takes place where I live: Westerville, OH! Westerville has never had a Ratman to my knowledge and that’s really a shame. Oh well, it wasn’t my favorite story anyway. Not nearly as good as the Italian Ratman anyway, but that’s just my preference for Italian trash talking.
The funeral home and mad doctor stories were my faves and they were creepy and batshit crazy respectively. Big fan of Simon Barrett, especially coming off of Seance.
The other stories don’t even come immediately to memory and I wasn’t that drunk so that’s why my rating isn’t higher.
