This movie is a breath of fresh of air. Horror movies have seemed to be lacking for a long time but V/H/S raises the bar. It combines found-footage style with anthology horror - the latter being one of my favorites. The stories took my wife and I out of our comfort zones, which is the first step to a good horror story, then shocked us with suspense and the right amount of gory. I never felt like the scares were cheap jump scares. Some of the sequences even felt like snuff films. My wife refuses to re-watch this or even give the sequels a chance. For me, however, this is one of my new favorite horror films.
