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.

This movie has a lot of blood and I mean a lot. An anthology of found-footage horror films: a group of lowlifes and misfits are contacted by shadowy third party to burglarize a desolate countryside house and acquire a rare videotape. Once there, however, the group are confronted by series of televisions and each video they see gets stranger and stranger. This movie scared the living day lights out of me when I first watched it and the movie is not as bad as roger Ebert said but that's his opinion.

The found footage thing has been played out, but cutting things down into shorter chunks somehow makes things fun again. The segments weren't exactly horrifying, but each had its moments and overall I liked the effort - even from Ti West. Don't try to analyze this too much - it's supposed to be supernatural, not technically accurate. Have fun!

I had my reservations, because of the 'found footage' aspect, but this turned out better than expected. That is mostly due to the fact that the segments are directed well and the stories are clever. Each story does have a good twist and the order in which they appear builds suspense as the movie progresses. There's a couple of standouts (part 4 is my favorite) but each is distinctly memorable for it's chills, shocks or surprises. Watch this in the dark and have a good time.
