Critics Consensus

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

3/5

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.

I really enjoy this movie, how it switches from a slowburn creep out to a ghost story to a slasher and so on. I think it is a great movie to get you into horror, it is a great movie to revisit, it is a great movie period.

4/5

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.

4/5

A diverse blend of horrors that all have an organic connection to one another to justify the found-footage format.

It’s an awesome movie. Why does it have a low score??? The stories are so good. I really enjoyed the movie. My favorite is the girl that turns into a gargoyle creature

Movie was definitely creepy! Did not appreciate the sexual assault. Good plot, sexual assault unnecessary to story.

Este género del terror es el que menos disfruto ver, hay pocas películas con este formato que logran captar mi atención y en este caso no fue así. Las cintas estuvieron entretenido, mucha sangre pero no lograron captar mi atención del todo.

It’s like five dudes, sat around a pile of drugs, couldn’t agree on a horror plot, so they just mashed it all together, and high-fived each other afterwards.

Ehhh... Definitely not my favorite. It's boring, and some of the stories didn't really make sense to me. If you're interested, go ahead and watch the first one. I sat through both 1 and 2. 2 is not good. It's crazy how this became a sprawling franchise though, with very very recent critically acclaimed installations.
