V/H/S comes back with an anthology of trick-or-treats straight from hell.
The franchise never disappoints. The standard narrative – one main story (backbone) from start to finish and multiple stories that interject – keeps the audience entertained and thrilled, making them want to know how the main story will end and, at the same time, watch the numerous stories that each one of them offers a different flavour to the selected theme. In this instance, Halloween.
Numerous directors, diverse horrors, and found-footage, VHS, B-movie vibes… all for your entertainment to enjoy with your loved ones or alone. The characters are crafted to be disposable, so you can genuinely relish their cinematic demise – OK, not all, and in some cases, certain deaths are disturbing. None of the stories should be taken seriously, despite the serious effort put into the film. Shudder oversees a franchise that is meant to be gruesomely entertaining, with plenty of horror conventions observed, and a talent pool of writers and directors who accomplish this entertainment in truly diverse and creative ways.
While I’ve watched all of them, I have only reviewed a couple of them, but all of them are worth it:
V/H/S/94 (2021): https://kaygazpro.com/v-h-s-94-2021-horror-mystery-thriller/
V/H/S/Beyond (2024): https://kaygazpro.com/v-h-s-beyond-2024/
The nights you decide to stay in, have fun with them. It’s Halloween, after all. It’s fun, right?
