Review of V/H/S (2012) by Marcdoyle — 05 Oct 2012
The trailer makes it look more terrifying than it really is, but I love the concept, especially the way the stories are linked and the primitive nature of the "tapes." Unlike many horror flicks which spend the bulk of their running times in mundane establishing scenes, this one gets right down to business.
There are some good laughs, and some truly gross and gory moments, along with some Paranormal Activity-esque jump-out-of-your-seat moments. The integration of sex is obviously nothing new to horror, but the recurrent sense of coercion makes the proceedings feel a bit more taboo & dangerous, which works with the rough and grimy feeling of the movie.
I'd recommend it to mainstream horror fans looking for something a little different.
