Attempt to mainstream? -_- Disaster.
13 June 2013 | by (Nashville, TN) – See all my reviews

Having been anticipating the sequel to VHS (finally a horror movie that truly disturbed me, rare!!) I knew it was going to be a disappointment from the first scene. The reason VHS was so good (a reason of many) was that every segment seemed like it could actually be real, created by not rushing the horrors to unravel, a delicate art-form.

VHS2 started off almost immediately "explaining" itself. Visually, it didn't sync. The high-def cameras diminished any sort of authenticity to then entire point of the movie. The make-up/costuming was laughable.. zombies, aliens// ::sigh:: actually not.

I'm honestly only writing about it to calm myself from the.. rage? ignited from this.. slopped together, "school project."

The writer, Simon Barrett from VHS, thought he could keep it going into this nightmare continuance, and even attempt directing. Fail. The other directors/writers from VHS were smart quitting while ahead.

Why does this have more stars than he original? Incredible. Sheep will flock.
