Wow, what a contrast this film is with the first one! Most found-footage films I've seen have always had me wondering why the hell the people in the films are bothering to carry video cameras around and record the events that are unfolding around them as they run for their lives, this one is different, every use of a camera has been cleverly thought out and explained, from a camera mounted on a mountain bikers helmet to a documentary crew with button cameras, and even a bionic prosthetic eye, the intelligence that the film makers put it into this has made this into one of the best ff films I've had the pleasure of watching. In comparison to the first V/H/S film I thought this one was a whole lot more mature, the stories were more believable and well written, the excellent sequence from a zombies perspective was hilarious and gory and by far my favourite, I'm not sure if it was meant to be funny, but if it was it worked brilliantly. In V/H/S 1 there wasn't much said about the video tapes, only that they were found, someone wanted them and that they contained some pretty freaky stuff, this time I think the film makers have realised that they could have a gold mine hiding within the urban legend of the tapes, and have started to play on this legend a little more, and I think if they continue down the path they have ahead of them, expanding on the legend, keeping the intelligent use of cameras and smart reasons behind the tapes discovery for each film, then they could have a franchise as successful as the Saw franchise. Here's hoping! More reviews at http://stuarthine.worpress.com

I wont be dramatic or a 'drama queen ' here..I'll be 100% frank... My rating is 9.5/10 in terms of a horror movie . All my worst nightmares that almost killed me are in this movie... THIS ONE IS WAYYYY BETTER THAN V/H/S... Well here are my rating for the 5 stories in it.. TAPE 47 : I wont tell you about it much but I'll rate it 9.5/10 . I think this one was the best of all. CLINICAL TRIALS : It will give you chills for sure . 9/10 . It will torture you till the last moment . LOL.. A RIDE IN THE PARK : Well even though of all the creatures/monsters , zombies are my favorite. but still this one is my least favorite . i ll rate it 7/10 , was kinda emotional though . SACRED HEAVEN : This one wont give you chills but it will torture you with its gory/violent ways..I ll give it 8/10 SLUMBER PARTY ALIEN ABDUCTION : Well for me aliens are never that scary but this one really made them look like scariest things alive . This story might give you chills but it has 80's feel to it . 9/10 If you really want to watch something really scary this one is for you... For the first time in my entire life I watched a movie with my hands in front of the eyes for more than half of the time.. it is not for the faint hearted though... :/

Having been anticipating the sequel to VHS (finally a horror movie that truly disturbed me, rare!!) I knew it was going to be a disappointment from the first scene. The reason VHS was so good (a reason of many) was that every segment seemed like it could actually be real, created by not rushing the horrors to unravel, a delicate art-form. VHS2 started off almost immediately "explaining" itself. Visually, it didn't sync. The high-def cameras diminished any sort of authenticity to then entire point of the movie. The make-up/costuming was laughable.. zombies, aliens// ::sigh:: actually not. I'm honestly only writing about it to calm myself from the.. rage? ignited from this.. slopped together, "school project." The writer, Simon Barrett from VHS, thought he could keep it going into this nightmare continuance, and even attempt directing. Fail. The other directors/writers from VHS were smart quitting while ahead. Why does this have more stars than he original? Incredible. Sheep will flock.

V/H/S/2 is one of those rare sequels that improves on the original in almost every way. Everything is bigger, funnier, bloodier, but also shorter, with one less segment compared to the last film. However, less is more when it comes to this sequel. From the four segments that are included in this anthology (excluding the wrap-around segment), two are excellent, one is good, and the "worst" one is pretty entertaining, providing a more consistent quality of shorts as opposed to the first. Although I enjoyed the first one greatly, I must admit it doesn't hold up as well on repeat viewings. Nevertheless, whether you enjoyed or hated the first film, V/H/S/2 is a clear improvement, fixing some of the major problems that were in V/H/S. In fact, some might be glad to know the misogyny that plagued the first film is toned down tremendously here. Additionally, the less you know going into this, the better, so I'll keep my reviews for each segment as vague and general as possible. They are shown in the following order: 1. The wrap-around segment: Unfortunately, this segment doesn't add much to the overall narrative that was established in V/H/S. Everything is still pretty vague as to what the tapes are and where they come from. However, it's better than the wrap-around from the first because the ball gets rolling much quicker to get to the tapes that we all paid to see. 6/10 2. A guy gets a robotic eye implant that allows him to see ghosts. Directed by the talented Adam Wingard, this is the "worst" of all the tapes that are shown, but it isn't bad. There's an obvious gimmick here in the way the POV is handled, evoking the style of "Enter the Void," blinks and all, but it's entertaining and fun to watch as everything unfolds. 6/10 3. A guy rides his bike in a forest until he comes across some zombies. Just when you think the zombie genre is out of ideas, this segment provides a nifty twist to the situation, which I will not reveal. Although the idea is better than the execution, the segment is funny and very enjoyable, with an ending that will surprise you. 7/10 4. As we get to the latter half of shorts, things go into full throttle. A group of reporters interview the leader of a cult when things suddenly go downhill. Directed by Gareth Evans ("The Raid") and Timo Tjahjanto, this is the best and the longest of the bunch, running about 30-40 minutes. To reveal anything about this segment is a sin, but I will say that it's one of the best horror shorts I've ever seen. The slow buildup and expert pacing allows time for the characters to grow before all hell breaks loose, and when I say that, I really mean it. What follows after cannot be described in mere words, but trust me when I say V/H/S/2 is worth seeing just for this segment. To say the least, my visceral reaction would be hilarious to see. I was dying. 9/10 5. While it's obvious to say this last segment won't top the previous segment, it's almost as good in a different way. A group of kids have a slumber party when it's interrupted by extraterrestrial beings. Filled with energy, humor, scares, and incredible suspense, it's the most fun segment to experience. I was legitimately scared. While the previous segment is filled with dread and a sense of impending doom, this segment is more lighthearted and will make anyone giddy in their seats. It's like "The Goonies" with aliens, and boy will it have your heart racing. 9/10 Overall, I enjoyed all the segments, although the last two are easily my favorites. I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack. It's clear the filmmakers are having fun and want to entertain the audience, and they've succeeded on that level. V/H/S/2 is a step up from the first, and if you just want to have a fun time in theaters, I highly recommend it.
