From aliens to robots to human experiments, V/H/S/ Beyond continues the franchise’s legacy with surrealism and obscenity.
Bloody, gory, funny and entertaining. Twelve years after the first one, V/H/S/ Beyond keeps it (un)real with a main story that holds the film together like a spine and random grotesque stories that break up the main story and spice it up with diversity. Zombies, robot stars, aliens, psychopathic taxidermists… make it up to two hours of your time that will make you forget your problems.
The execution, like every other found-footage horror, is a tad problematic as, more often than not, you don’t get what it is that you are seeing. While this is arguably intentional – for technical and artistic reasons – the result remains problematic. But here’s the trick: By sitting down to watch a film like V/H/S, you know what you are signing up for. Regardless, it can get tiring for the eyes.
V/H/S Beyond maintains the franchise’s initial quality and is made with love for all horror fans.
P.S. It’s funny how Justin Long wrote an episode for it, and, more specifically, the one that the film that it is based on was heavily criticised.
P.P.S. Good to see Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel abandoning (hopefully not momentarily) woke projects.
