PRODUCT REVIEWS

Welcome to the fifth instalment within the V/H/S series. Set in the year of 1999, audiences will witness five new horrifying stories from one VHS tape. For those who are unaware, the V/H/S franchise is filled with various short horror films that are loosely connected. Each story differs from the other and has been filmed as well as written by different people, making each story a nice and unpredictable surprise. In this edition of the V/H/S series, we meet a variety of people, including a young, punk rock band and a young woman who will stop at nothing to become famous on social media. Just as opinions about horror films differ, the same can be said about each story presented throughout this feature. Some stories are hit-and-miss. However, V/H/S once again nails the retro vibes, and it includes fun visuals such as tracking effects, cheesy commercials and strange cuts and edits. All these editing choices strongly convince viewers that they are watching an old videotape. Some short films do have great visual elements, such as costumes. The effects relating to gore and violence are also satisfying, especially if you enjoy the torture genre. While I’ve always been a supporting fan of the V/H/S series for its concept, randomness, and crazy horror, I am quite saddened to say this newest instalment is a major misfire for me within the series. The vast majority of this film and its stories are saddening, depressing, and lack joy. By the time the final story began, I felt exhausted from watching stories that felt somewhat repetitive. Each story I invested in had an ending that felt either vague or poorly concluded, and my dissatisfaction only grew with each story. In a nutshell, while the V/H/S series has always delivered great concepts and joy, this one feels more rushed and lacked an element of freshness. Overall, while I’ve always had this franchise in a special place in my soul, this one is a huge misfire. While visuals and the V/H/S retro vibes hit strongly once again, the film stuggles to bring short stories that hit strongly with creativity. Instead, each story has similarities to the other, and in many instances, the films are just sad and downright depressing. Fans of torture porn will find aspects that are pleasing, but in the end, it all feels rushed, and I could not wait to eject this tape, rewind it and return it. * This review has been written for Sanity.
