      Critics Consensus

      One of the franchise's stronger entries, V/H/S/85 largely avoids the quality control issues common to anthologies, with consistently creepy results.

      Audience Member The first story was by far the best one for me. It was great to see the story develop. The other stories wasn't amazing, the final one was interesting but the audio direction was awful at times. Stick around for the credits as that song is awesome. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Karina P The V/H/S movies are great! They're very unique and definitely keep you interested. V/H/S 85 may not have lived up to the previous movies in the franchise, but I do think it's worth a watch. It helped me brush up on the little bit of Spanish that I actually remember haha. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Hugo S "V/H/S/85" continues the success of the famous found footage franchise in all its weirdness and uniqueness. This latest entry pays tribute to the revolutionary 80's with an anthology of five short horror stories invoking the vibe of this era. These disturbing VHS tapes still haunt us in the present days! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Cory M This is probably the most disturbing horror film I've ever seen; next to "Sinister". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review G T M Awful movie. More disjointed than any of the others by far, although this one failed to bring any storyline to connect anything happening in the different scenes. Aside from the squirt gun and shooter shared in 2 of the scenes, nothing else was even related. The news station scene was the worst horror narrative I have ever watched. This is just a sad attempt to squeeze one last movie out of a franchise which was known for gore and randomness by putting complete nonsense on the screen and pretending any real effort at all was spent to make it a feature film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Jim B First of the series I've seen and it really does a great job of entertainment and awesome display of cinema! Enjoyed enough to want to check out the whole series! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Andy Crump Inverse Tapping into one of the period’s common techno-oopsies drums up a sense of familiarity that works in V/H/S/85’s favor, and also allays any questions about whose shelf the tape was pulled from. Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com V/H/S/85 is an absolute blast of gore, laughs, fright, and mayhem. Rated: 3/4 Oct 7, 2023 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire Truth be told, the only thing stranger than the “V/H/S” franchise waiting six movies to revisit the ’80s is how little it does with the decade when it finally goes there. Rated: C Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The V/H/S format continues to work well as a framework for a wide variety of horror cinema, and a showcase for a similarly wide range of directors. Rated: 7/10 Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) Calmer and less intense than V/H/S/94 , V/H/S/85 is an easier but less interesting watch as a result. Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo A terrifying film about how have changed the subject of our adorations in the 80s but also in the past centuries. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
