Critics Consensus

V/H/S/: Viral is hardly a sensation as it cycles through the franchise's least frightening vignettes yet.

🍀2.7/10 🚮 certified stinker 🚮 There's a huge part of me that wants to like this, but it's just so bad. I guess the overarching segment is. Vicious circle and it's pretty bad. It has glimmer of goodness, but is overall tarnished by weird tiny pieces that really just don't fit and whatever the fuck that family barbecue was, was just so cringy 0.5/10  Dante, the great. OK now this is actually really entertaining if you look at it from a satire it's a great comedy not at all what I want from V/H/S but like it has just hilarious moments but overall really unneeded 2/10 the swat fight was pretty fun  Parallel monster. I feel like I should like this more because it has a strong beginning, but I just got bored at the end, but I mean like bro that last shot was a bombastic with his head going in like WTF. 4.5/10  Bonestorm. Another that I feel like I should like because there's glimmers of goodness but the main leads are very unlikable and I just did not connect with it at all and wanted it to be over. 3/10  My average score for V/H/S viral is a 2.7/10 hey utterly disappointing and low point for the franchise. Grade D+

De toda la saga de V/H/S, esta es la más floja y la peór de la historia de V/H/S, qué en más se parece una película del montón, con lo más destacable es el metraje de la Tormenta de Huesos osea la 3ra cinta qué sale en la película, donde es lo único que vale la pena de destacar. Y la trama principal qué de verdad siento que deja mucho que desear, en donde siento que este film no llega a superar mis expectativas pero por tener el título encima la verdad para maratonear con unos amigos.

The first short story was just straight up mega ass, and the rest were meh. Doesn't hold a candle anywhere near to the two previous V/H/S movies.

I recognize that it's part of the great horror tradition to beat a marketable name into the ground, but that doesn't make up for the disappointment.

While this is the only portion of this franchise entry to remotely deal with this motif, it's also the least effective, lacking in any real kind of cohesive design.

Rated: 1/5

I think aside from the shorts being more nonsensical and not even remotely scary, the thing that upset me the most was the overarching storyline of "Vicious Circles."
