"The veggiemasher turns your vegetables into a tasty...mmm mouthwatering paste." I couldn't help but try and fix the tracking when I watched this...ok I'm joking. This movie was a weird mess of different horror types...just like the others in the franchise. It was not my favorite, but it did turn out to be a decent watch for the Found Footage fan.

Yeah the third segment might be my favorite as it is nothing like the others.. but in a good way!

This movie is basicly for separate hooror shortfilms foundfootage style with their own story and premise as each segment has its own director!

In short i would say that segment one and three were my favorite as they used horror and gore in an effective way! Segment one was the scariest to me while segment three were the gorriest as it went full on sci fi bodyhorror! It was really over the top and absurdly violent!

Segment two and four were the weakest to me! Both were slow at first and the scary qnd gory stuff didn't last very long!

BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING !!!!!

Why bother creating a movie. We lived through the 'VHS' years and they were never as bad as this. Why bother filming something if you have it either, jumpy, dark or add effects to make you NOT SEE ANYTHING.

So frustrating.

This is easily the weakest instalment in the franchise with no single standout part to pull it through. This entry also has the single highest use of fake grain overlay of any of the movies making it almost unwatchable.

It's like tales from the crypt, only worse, much worse.

Timo Tjajhanto's segment "The Subject" is the vivid standout in this messy found-footage sequel which heads back to its grainy-cassette-tape roots. After the last installment bombed, it needed franchise returnees Timo Tjajhanto and Simon Barett, plus a conceptualizer in David Bruckner to inject some interest back into this anthology series. Similar to the "Safe Haven" segment by Gareth Evans and Timo Tjajhanto in V/H/S 2, Timo pulls off yet another audio-visual showcase here that melds CGI and practical effects in an action-packed (but non-scary) thirty-minute stretch shot entirely in first-person. This segment towers over the rest in terms of its core idea, slick production design, and bucketfuls of gore. It's the only segment worth revisiting in the film altogether.

I also enjoyed Chloe Okuno's Storm Drain in bits & pieces, especially for its typical found-footage claustrophobia, wacky effects, and an unexpected tinge of dark humor. Simon Barett's "The Empty Wake" initially gets its mood and atmosphere right before squandering all of it for something unintentionally laughable. The exciting bits in Ryan Prows' "Terror" are far too less to really mean anything other than its authentic '90s touches. Jennifer Reeder's wraparound segment "Holy Hell" suffers from poor performances and frequent breaks - the tension is wholly lacking. What's uniformly remarkable all through is the film's aesthetics. The news reports actually resemble the ones from the 90s; there's also retro CGI and even a fake infomercial that looks too darn legit. Add some grunge music, CRT televisions, and shades of the early internet into the mix, and we get a pretty decent throwback of sorts.
