It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

The first installment was scarier, and more realistic. This film is simply fun to watch, and there are some disgusting moments, but it's not enough scary. I had fun watching it, the camera-work and the special effects are great, but I want more from a horror movie. I'll give a benignant 7/10, even if it's not that good.

V/H/S/ 2 is a modern-day horror anthology featuring eclectic talent from the directors of THE RAID and YOU'RE NEXT amongst others. As with many modern horror anthologies, the emphasis is on outright blood and gore over scares, although there are attempts here to frighten as well as repulse the viewer. There are four tales in all, as well as a mildly diverting wraparound story involving a creepy old house and a VHS collection. Most of the material is shot POV style, which I enjoyed as a fan of the 'found footage' genre.The first tale is a simple riff on THE EYE, as a guy gets a new-fangled optic implant that restores his sight but has the unwanted side effect of allowing him to see spirits at the same time. I love the introduction of the deaf girl with her own twist and this is by far the scariest of the film, with some really jumpy moments. It's all predictable, but that's okay.The second tale is about a cyclist with a Go Pro camera mounted on his helmet. His trip through the woods is interrupted by a zombie attack, and what we get here is unending gore and bloodshed, some of the most gruesome you'll see. It's all pretty distasteful actually, and more than a little pointless.The third story is the Indonesian one, contributed by THE RAID director Gareth Evans; as a huge fan of his films, it was the one I was most looking forward to. Evans doesn't disappoint; this is as intense as his action films, and the madcap plot line involves a doomsday cult and the birth of the Antichrist. It's exceptionally gory, delightfully obscure, and without a doubt the highlight of the whole thing.The fourth and final story is weak by comparison. It tells of an attack by extraterrestrials on a group of redneck characters, who are all really dumb, but there's way too much of the shaky cam here and little real meat to the storyline. The dog is the most interesting character and you can guess what happens to that. V/H/S/ 2 isn't bad at all for fans of gory horror, but aside from the Indonesian segment it's all rather familiar.

I liked the film and I found it to be okay and I liked the wrap around in this film more than the one in the first film,I guess I just found this story more interesting it was about two private investigators that are looking for a boy that went missing. The investigators break into his house and find his collection of V/H/S Tapes and they start to watch them. Unlike the first film this one actually made more sense and the stories were better also the characters were better and more likable. Story one was about a man who was having this operation and they put a camera in his eye. I thought the idea of the camera in his eye was interesting but the story was a bit lacking. He goes home and we find out his house is haunted by ghosts but he thinks the eye is making him see these ghosts but it was not because the ghosts were real. The man meets this women they become friends and she tells him the ghosts are real then they work together to try and get rid of the ghosts.Story 2 I liked I thought it was entertaining it was about a man who was a bicycle rider and he rides around in the woods and he encounters a women who was bitten by a zombie,unaware of this he tries to help her and she ends up biting him turning him into a zombie but not before he kills her.a group of others zombies chase after him and the man ends up turning into a zombie from his bite wound and the rest of the story is about all these zombies running around causing mayhem and destruction trying to infect as many people as possible. This short story was one of my favourites and it was entertaining and there were some really good make up effects as well as blood and Gore in this story. Story 3 I liked okay it was a very insane story about a A news crew that infiltrates an Indonesian cult and I must say this story was very bloody and gory and bizarre and people that like bizarre stories will love this one,I found the story entertaining but I did not love it,however I have to give the story a thumbs up for originality it was something different that I'd never seen before,the story has a lot of creepy images in it along with weird creatures. The cultists in this story begin a mass suicide and chaos ensues,the news crew get attacked and they try to escape from the building.I don't want to give away too much but I will say the dark bloody building they were in reminded me of scene in A film called (Jacobs ladder).the hospital scene in that film was just as bizarre as this story. This 3rd story was insane and effectively creepy I have to be honest and admit that,also the story had good make up effects and the creature looked cool.Story 4 would probably be my favourite one it was called (Slumber party Alien Abduction). The story was interesting it was about these kids who put a camera on their dog to create videos.after their parents leave the kids invite some friends over to have some fun. Later their older sisters boyfriend comes over to see her and the kids play pranks on both of them. The laughs soon stop when the kids start to hear loud noises outside,they go downstairs and they soon realise something dangerous is outside and then they see Aliens break into their house and the kids get abducted one by one. The older sister and her brothers run for it and try to escape but they can't see in the dark so they try and hide but everywhere they go the Aliens seem to find them. Whenever the Aliens show up they are shrouded in bright flickering light and I liked the effect. The alien effects also looked good and I liked the way they moved I thought they were creepy looking.I found this last Alien Abduction story fast moving and very intense! especially toward the end when the kids run for it again. After story 4 we get the end Wrap around story with the two investigators which I liked. I have to say the end wrap around here was much better than the one in the first film.I found this Ending wrap around Creepy also I liked the idea of the end wrap around story,it was a good idea they had but I won't give it away instead just watch the film and see it for yourselves. V/H/S 2 was an okay Film with some interesting stories.

An investigator and his partner are hired to find a college kid. They break into house at night and find a room with bunch of TV, VCRs and lots of tapes. The girl stays to look at the tapes. He looks around the house. But there's someone else there.The first tape the girl watches is about a guy who lost his eye in an accident. He gets an implant and can see again through his bionic eye. When he gets home he starts seeing ghosts appear and vanish. Next morning a girl who saw him at the clinic knocks on his door. She tells him that she has an ear implant and now she hears ghosts. And she says she knows how to make them go away. But the ghosts have a plan of their own. That forces the guy to make a tough decision.Tape 2 is of a guy biking somewhere in the woods. A woman screaming for help crosses his path. She starts vomiting, turns into a zombie and attacks him. He still has a camera on his helmet as he turns into a zombie and attacks a couple. There are bunch of zombies there and they all crash a girl's birthday party. But some of the guys there start defending themselves. When he gets a call from his girlfriend, whatever he has left of his humanity surfaces.In tape 3 some journalists interview some guy who talks about knowing the path to immortality and that he's almost there. The crew of 4 then visit his compound. There are children there and a girl hints at being abused. When the actual interview with the cult leader begins, the 4 end up separating but for good reasons. At some point the guy says that it has begun and attacks the camera guy. Alarms start sounding. All the kids start drinking something. In another room, men shoot themselves in the head. The female reporter is taken by the cultists. When her guy finds he she gives birth. Things get crazier from there.The final story involves some kids who get to spend some time by themselves at what looks like a vacation home by the lake when the parents leave. There is a group of teens and a group of pre-teens. They pull pranks on each other and have a good time. Right away at night the house starts shaking, there are lights, sounds. This happens a couple of times until finally aliens show up.At the end we find out what happens with the couple of investigators and the college guy they were looking for.V/H/S/2 is an improvement on part 1. It has better image and better stories and is much gorier. It's good to see though that The ABCs of Death had enough of an impact to make a name for some of directors there. The first story is nothing special unfortunately, it is watchable mainly thanks to the lovely Hannah Hughes. Things improve greatly with the second story, the success of which borrows from Unearthed from The ABCs of Death by showing us what happens from the perspective of the villain. Things get even better in the third story by Timo Tjahjanto. His story isn't just happy to give us the creepy Jim Jones-type cult leader but goes way beyond. It's wild and crazy, just as his short on ABCs was. This guy is currently the future of horror. Unfortunately, after this high point things go significantly downhill with the aliens segment. It doesn't set up the story right, we can't distinguish any important character, what could have been a surprise is given away way too early, and it doesn't offer anything interesting. Odd and unfortunate, since Eisener's short on ABCs was pretty good. If they manage to make a sequel excluding weak shorts, they might have something here.
