Critics Consensus

An uneven collection of found-footage horror films, V/H/S has some inventive scares but its execution is hit-and-miss.

London Evening Standard A nauseating experience on every level. Rated: 2/5 Jan 18, 2013 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Smart, scary stuff. Rated: 4/5 Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Several of the shorts build ingeniously, and their brevity solves the serial problem of found footage, which is how to maintain interest and plausibility in shaky-cam antics for a whole feature. Rated: 3/5 Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Brian Bisesi Horror Movie Club Podcast V/H/S is hindered by the onslaught of unlikable, misogynistic characters in nearly every one of its segments, but it succeeds due to creative premises and the effective use of the found footage technique to achieve shocking, intense, and scary moments. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A diverse blend of horrors that all have an organic connection to one another to justify the found-footage format. Rated: 4/5 Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review For all its tension and shock value, the experience is uneven. Rated: 2/4 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Cash M This movie is not for the faint of heart, being low budget and a netflix flick. It surprised me on the content of the film .Most found footage dont feel found they feel like they're just recorded poorly. However the scenarios in this movie feels very real (as real as supernatural films can feel).It also started one of my favorite found footage series of all time. Overall 8.5/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review pietro p Despite this being the most difficult film in the franchise to watch (because of the many harassment scenes) and not being 100% consistent in quality, I still think this film is worth checking out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 A great movie filled with terrific short stories. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Rafa C. This film deserves more credit. If you are ok with “found footage” horror, this is will be an enjoyable film. The effects were pretty good for its time. Wasn’t too cheesy, the acting wasn’t as great but it fits with the style of the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Rafaela C Foi o pior filme que já vi na vida. Adoro filmes de terror mas este filme de terror não tem nada. Não tem contexto, não tem história, nao tem qualidade. E pior? Não tem um final em condições. Se estão à procura de um filme que vos vai irritar de tão mau que é, este é o tal. A edição é péssima, os efeitos especiais também... não há nada de bom a dizer sobre este filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Eduardo H Eu amo filmes de terror desse gênero found footage. E esse é um dos melhores que assisti Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
