Audience Member With this entry in the series the filmmakers hearken back to the 1980s Makes sense given this was considered the decade of horror So many classic horror films owe their popularity to this era in history This anthology is filmed in a 4:3 aspect ratio with a grainy filter to give off the authentic feel of how media was viewed via movies, tv shows, news broadcasts, commercials, music videos etc. This one explores more of North American media pop culture along with the zeitgeist The stories here involve a summer camp vacation, a news team encountering an ancient Aztec god, a religious performance artist facing a computer generated monster, a family of killers, and a kid who dreams of a killer The main segment involves a creature that can mimic being studied by scientists, truth be told that one ends on a more disappointing note than the others being chaos just runs amuck without any real payoff It’s also confusing trying to put the first segment together because it connects to another one later and you really have to think about it all coming together Plus an hour and 51 minutes for this chapter is a bit excessive But the creators keep coming up with new scary ideas for their stories 6 movies in Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed most of. Always a load of fun finding out the big reveal and like how the stories sometimes intertwine. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍅 8.3/10 Greatly ambitious, but pulls it off surprisingly well it’s smart, constantly interesting, gory and might, unironically be one of the best VHS films with nothing but great segments. No wake/ambrosia/dreamkill Perhaps one of the most ambitious segments but damn, they pull it off so well, I was intrigued at every stage of the segment even if it had a kind of cheesy beginning, it just kept getting better after that I love the fight at the police station. It was very terminator esk. And I guess you could say it might be a little messy but to me it was just very intriguing all the way through. 9.5/10 God of death. This was a lot like Safehaven not as good, but still a very great segment. I love the visuals here the set pieces and all of the acting is just really great. It’s a very well put together segment and has a great ending. 8.5/10 Tknogd. Probably the worst segment, but still good a very odd and interesting one it’s not really much to say, but it was entertaining. 6.5/10 Total copy. I love the almost documentary aesthetic which makes it a little more unique and it has a very good payoff with a bunch of bloody Gore. 7.5/10 I am very pleasantly surprised with VHS 85. It makes me much more excited for beyond and it’s definitely a big improvement over 99. i’m just a sucker for anything 80s so of course this got me hooked and of course it’s now my favorite of the series. Also, I really like the parody of the man behind the mask in the credits. Average score 8/10 Grade A- Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Korra N What I would argue is the best entry (until BEYOND released), V/H/S/85 is disturbing and surprisingly funny with some wickedly timed dark humor amidst the gory nightmares caught on tape. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Brad O I hadn't watched any of the V/H/S franchise before this. These films are not for the faint of heart and have a very particular taste. It's disgustingly gory but the found footage presentation keeps it compelling. Eventually I found myself covering my eyes and had to shut it off. Just too gross for me. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Logan D Undying. Collapse. Science. One of the stronger entries in the franchise, my least favorite was TKNOGD, about a performance artist taunting a god. I loved the execution and premise of No Wake, concerning campers who encounter a crazed shootist. I wasn't happy their fate was never revealed.
