V/H/S/2

V/H/S/2

This American horror film sequel provides some thrills and interesting ideas but is weighed down by its peculiar structure.

When two private investigators break into a house full of mysterious VHS tapes they discover each of the tapes has its own horrific story to tell. This narrative provides the framework for what is in essence a series of short films all based in the overworked ‘found footage’ genre.

While the structure is interesting to begin with and there are some real moments of shock and foreboding, it is hard to stay invested by the time the final short rolls around.

V/H/S/2 is worth a look for horror fans but doesn’t offer much else. (AW)
