Review of V/H/S/2 (2013) by Graham B — 12 Jun 2013
The only one of these shorts worth seeing is the last one. It keeps to the single-camera, found-footage ethos and delivers great character work before spinning into a sphincter-tightening alien abduction story.
The other shorts are varying degrees of incompetent, predictable, and just plain dull. The highlight everyone's been touting, Safe Haven, is 20 minutes of stultifying build-up, five minutes of genuine scare, and then a ridiculous end with a hilariously awful monster lumbering around.
If you removed two of the weaker segments of V/H/S and put that fourth segment from V/H/S/2 in, you'd get a pretty awesome movie. As it is, this one is far more misses than hits, and the admittedly uneven V/H/S is far better.
